You can invest in fantastic kitchen equipment, create an interesting menu and cook delicious food, but if the kitchen isn’t kept clean and hygienic, it will all be for nothing.
If people contract food poisoning after eating food from your kitchen, it not only puts their lives at risk, it can cause irreparable reputational damage too. And if your customers are more vulnerable to infections, such as those in hospitals or schools, then a clean and hygienic kitchen is even more paramount.
Isn’t daily cleaning enough?
A good programme of daily cleaning is essential, but kitchen staff and your own cleaners won’t be trained in high-level cleaning using ladders, and won’t have the experience to properly deep clean heavy equipment. That’s why regular deep cleaning of your kitchen is so important.
Regular deep cleans can:
- Improve working conditions for staff
- Prevent the spread of bacteria
- Reduce foodborne illnesses, such as norovirus and salmonella
- Minimise the risk of pests in the kitchen
- Maintain food and safety regulations
Plus, regular deep cleans will help to protect your appliances from breakdowns, maintain their optimum performance and maximise their life expectancy. Imagine how the breakdown of a dishwasher would impact your kitchen. You can’t serve hungry tummies if you can’t wash anything up!

Using non-caustic chemicals, a kitchen deep clean should clean and degrease every inch of your kitchen, including:
- canopy and grease filters
- kitchen extract ductwork
- all equipment, such as ovens, fryers, microwaves and counters
- food preparation surfaces, sinks and dishwashers
- refrigeration units and freezers
- ceilings
- walls
- floors
How long does a deep clean take?
With TWO, a full kitchen deep clean can be completed over the space of a day or overnight. For schools, the holidays can be an ideal opportunity to book in a professional deep clean.
I can’t afford regular kitchen deep cleans
Kitchen deep cleans aren’t as expensive or as disruptive as you might think. At TWO Services our overnight cleaning service doesn’t cost any more than daytime and there’s no disruption to your food service.
In fact, avoiding regular kitchen deep cleans could cost you. Whether the kitchen is in a school, university, care home or office, the safety of your staff and customers is paramount. Consider the cost to you if you had to close your kitchen due to it not maintaining health & safety requirements.
With regards to school kitchens, the National Education Union states: “Wherever food is prepared or served, safe and adequate cleaning routines need to be established to ensure compliance with health and safety requirements.”
