Should I hire a professional cleaning service?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed some mold starting to form on the ceiling of our restaurant kitchen. The space is quite small and we’re struggling to keep it clean and hygienic with our limited staff. We’ve been doing everything ourselves, but now I’m wondering if it might be better to hire a professional cleaning service. What should I consider when deciding whether to go this route?

Absolutely, hiring a professional cleaning service for your restaurant kitchen is a wise choice. With the recent rainfall and mold issues you've noticed on the ceiling, it's crucial to address this promptly to avoid any health risks for your patrons and staff.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, food safety regulations are stringent. Your restaurant must adhere to the guidelines set by the Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Health Authority – Dubai (HAD). A professional service can ensure compliance with these standards as they will use the correct cleaning agents and procedures that meet local health codes. When considering a professional cleaner, here’s what you should keep in mind: 1. Experience and Certification: Ensure the company has experience working in foodservice environments and is certified by relevant authorities. 2. Safety Measures: Ask about their safety protocols, including proper waste disposal and use of protective equipment to prevent cross-contamination. 3. Services Offered: Inquire if they offer comprehensive cleaning services that address all areas prone to mold growth such as exhaust fans, ceiling tiles, and corners where water may collect. 4. Follow-Up Inspections: Some companies provide follow-up visits to ensure the job is done correctly and to check for any new issues. 5. Reference Check: Ask for references from other clients in the food industry within Dubai. Additionally, it would be wise to have a professional inspection of your kitchen’s environmental conditions before starting any cleaning process. This can help identify sources of moisture that might need remediation, such as leaky pipes or inadequate ventilation, which could prevent future mold growth. Remember, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is not just about aesthetics but also crucial for the health and safety of everyone involved. By choosing professional services, you're ensuring your restaurant meets all necessary standards and can continue to provide safe meals to your customers.
