Most Common Dangers of Dirty Grease Traps and Kitchen Hoods

6/1/2017

Comments

 
As the owner and operator of a commercial kitchen, you know that one of the most invasive and pesky byproducts of your hard work is kitchen grease.  Most municipalities, including those in Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville, require that your kitchen have grease traps to keep this nasty substance out of the local sewer and kitchen hoods for safety. But just having these in your kitchen isn’t enough. Keeping kitchen hoods clean and grease traps maintained is critically important. Here are a few of the incredibly common dangers of dirty grease traps and kitchen hoods.
Dirty grease traps and baffle filters can cause restaurant kitchen fires or worse if you aren't careful!
Grease and Range Hood Odors
​Grease traps and dirty range hoods smell awful because of the proteins that have been burned off and then cooled and reaccumulated on surfaces or collected in the grease trap. Without a good kitchen hood cleaning service and grease trap removal service, you could be stuck with this odor for the long haul. If it gets bad enough, your customers can get wind of your greasy kitchen and find another place to enjoy a meal.
 
Kitchen Grease Fires
This is a big one - plain and simple an inappropriately cleaned grease trap or range hood can drastically increase the likelihood of fire. Keeping your kitchen hood clean on a weekly basis will keep down fire risk. Bringing in a professional hood cleaning service every now and again, to ensure that things are done well, is best practice. Additionally, your grease trap needs to be cleaned every few weeks to ensure that it doesn’t become clogged and cause fires. Professional cleaning is also essential every now and again. Our experience in the Atlanta, Savanah, and Jacksonville area providing grease trap removal, grease trap maintenance and used cooking oil recycling is second to none.
 
Inspection Failure
We’ve spoken before about the importance of ensuring your kitchen is up to snuff for the health inspection team. Dirty kitchen hoods and full grease traps will constitute major violations in Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville. Our trained grease and hood cleaning professionals ensure you keep your restaurant up to code.
 
Lots of Lost Money
Whether it’s fines from failed inspections, repairing damage from kitchen fires, or a loss of business from icky odors, dirty range hoods and full grease traps will drive your business down. Bringing in a proper restaurant kitchen cleaning company will help you stay in the black!

Mitigating Dirty Grease Traps and Kitchen Hoods
​Proper cleaning is the key to ensuring that your kitchen hoods and grease traps remain operating at their peak and you avoid health inspection violations. The best way to make proper grease trap maintenance an important part of your routine is to institute a used oil cooking recycling program. Here, you can make a few dollars from something you would throw out anyway and keep your grease traps clean! Premier Grease is your Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville source for kitchen grease recycling!
