Kitchen & Food-Safe Cleaning

Cleanliness in a kitchen is more than just a requirement—it’s a critical component of food safety, customer experience, and regulatory compliance. Commercial kitchens, cafeterias, restaurants, and food-prep areas face constant activity, high heat, grease buildup, and nonstop foot traffic. Without a specialized cleaning program, these environments quickly become unsafe, unsanitary, and non-compliant with health regulations. Professional kitchen and food-safe cleaning ensures your facility remains clean, disinfected, and inspection-ready at all times.

At Florida Facility Solutions, we deliver reliable and detailed kitchen and food-safe cleaning services throughout St. Augustine and North & Central Florida. Our experienced cleaning teams are trained in FDA, USDA, and local health code standards, ensuring your food-preparation areas stay safe, compliant, and efficient.

What Is Kitchen & Food-Safe Cleaning?

Kitchen & food-safe cleaning is a specialized cleaning service designed specifically for commercial kitchens, food-prep stations, cafeterias, and food-service facilities. Unlike standard janitorial cleaning, food-safe cleaning requires advanced knowledge of sanitation processes, cross-contamination prevention, and compliance with strict food safety regulations.

Our cleaning programs focus on critical kitchen areas, including:

Prep counters and workstations
Cooking equipment (grills, fryers, ovens, ranges)
Refrigerators, freezers, and walk-in coolers
Sinks, drains, and dishwashing areas
Floors, walls, vents, and hoods
Serving lines and cafeteria stations
High-touch and food-contact surfaces

These services play a vital role in:

Preventing foodborne illness
Eliminating grease, bacteria, and cross-contamination
Supporting safe, efficient kitchen operations
Ensuring compliance with health and safety codes
Maintaining a clean, professional appearance for staff and customers
