What Our Restaurant Cleaning Services Cover
Restaurant cleaning in New York requires a scope and rigor that general commercial janitorial work doesn’t address. Our industry-focused janitorial services cover both back-of-house and front-of-house environments, structured around what health inspectors evaluate and what your guests actually see.
Back-of-House Cleaning
Commercial kitchen cleaning is the core of any serious restaurant sanitation program. We cover cooking surfaces, food preparation areas, equipment, and grease removal throughout the kitchen, using food-safe, industry-approved products and techniques to address the buildup that standard cleaning misses and that health inspectors specifically evaluate.
Front-of-House & Common Areas
The dining room is where guests form their first impression, before food ever reaches the table. Our dining area cleaning covers tables, chairs, floors, and all front-of-house surfaces.
Additional services included in the full-facility scope:
- Restroom cleaning, restocking and sanitization
- Disinfection for high-traffic and high-touch areas
- Hard surface floor cleaning and maintenance across all flooring types
- Carpet cleaning for dining rooms with carpeted floors
- Air duct cleaning
- Window washing
Cleaning schedules are structured as daily, weekly, monthly, and custom scheduled cleaning tasks to fit your operational calendar. Whether you need overnight cleaning after last call or early-morning prep before the lunch rush, we work around your hours.
Supporting NYC Health Department Inspection Readiness
New York City restaurants are required to display their NYC Health Department letter grade at the entrance after each sanitation inspection. Every potential customer walking past your door sees it. Consistent professional cleaning is one of the most controllable factors in maintaining inspection readiness between visits.
Our team follows cleaning best practices set by the FDA, CDC, and EPA, the same agencies whose standards underpin food service sanitation requirements. Disinfection services are performed in accordance with CDC guidelines. We don’t promise a specific inspection outcome, but we do work to reduce the cleaning gaps that lead to common violations involving food contact surface sanitation and pest attractants.
