Can we clean the entire restaurant space ourselves?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a lot more dirt and grime building up in our kitchen, especially around the hood and under the counters where the restaurant equipment is stored. My husband and I are trying to do everything ourselves but with two small kids at home, it’s becoming quite a task. Do you think it's feasible for us to clean the entire restaurant space ourselves, or should we consider hiring someone?

Cleaning the entire restaurant space can indeed be quite a task, especially given your current situation. With the recent dust storms that swept through, it's understandable why you're noticing more dirt and grime accumulating. In Dubai/UAE, ensuring indoor environmental quality is paramount to maintaining hygiene standards as per the UAE Federal Law No. 32 of 2015 Concerning the Establishment of Health Inspectorate.

Cleaning yourself can be feasible depending on your time constraints and the extent of the mess. However, there are a few points you should consider:

Firstly, the kitchen hood is a critical area that needs regular cleaning to avoid grease buildup which could lead to fire hazards. In Dubai, safety regulations mandate regular inspection and cleaning by certified professionals every 6 months or as per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Under the counters where equipment is stored, it's important to check for mold growth. Mold can thrive in damp environments like those under counters and can pose health risks if not properly addressed. A quick DIY clean-up might include wiping down surfaces with a solution of water and mild detergent. But for deeper cleaning or suspected mold issues, professional inspection and remediation should be considered.

DIY cleaning tasks could involve:
• Wiping down surfaces with a mild detergent
• Using a squeegee to remove excess water from wet areas
• Dusting high and low corners where grime tends to accumulate

However, given the complexity and potential risks involved, especially in areas like the kitchen hood, it might be more practical to hire a professional cleaning service. Saniservice, for example, offers comprehensive restaurant cleaning services that can help maintain hygiene standards while you focus on your family.

To summarize, while some DIY clean-up tasks are doable with the right tools and techniques, certain areas require specialized expertise. For peace of mind and compliance with UAE regulations, consulting a professional might be the best option. If you're unsure or encounter any issues like mold growth, don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for immediate assistance.

Remember, keeping your restaurant clean not only improves hygiene but also enhances customer satisfaction and safety.
