Grease Buildup in Restaurants: Why Regular Pressure Washing Matters
In the food industry, cleanliness isn’t optional—it’s the standard. From kitchen floors to dumpster pads, grease and grime are unavoidable. But when buildup is ignored, it becomes more than just an eyesore—it’s a health hazard, a slip risk, and a code violation waiting to happen.
Where Grease Builds Up (And Why It’s a Problem)
🔥 Kitchen Floors & Walls
Grease splashes and vapor settle into surfaces, making them slick and hard to clean with mops alone.
🗑️ Dumpster Pads
Overflow, oil spills, and discarded food waste all contribute to nasty stains, horrible odors, and rodent attraction.
🛻 Drive-Thru & Parking Areas
Vehicle oil, spilled drinks, and food debris accumulate fast—leaving a bad first impression on customers.
