How to Clean and Maintain Your Kitchen Equipment

Proper cleaning and maintenance not only extend the lifespan of your equipment but also promote food safety and prevent costly breakdowns. Here are some tips from Arrowhead Superior Parts LLC on how to effectively clean and maintain your kitchen equipment.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions: Our kitchen supplies come with their own set of cleaning and maintenance guidelines from the manufacturer. Following these instructions ensures that you are cleaning your equipment in the right way and not causing any damage.

• Regular cleaning schedule
  Daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning tasks should be assigned to specific team members and consistently carried out. This includes cleaning surfaces, removing grease and food debris, unclogging drains, and cleaning filters.
• Use appropriate cleaning agents
  Avoid abrasive or acidic cleaners that can damage the surfaces of your equipment. Always use food-safe cleaning agents approved by the manufacturer to ensure that your equipment remains in good condition and safe for food preparation.
• Pay attention to small parts
  Don’t overlook the small parts of your kitchen equipment, such as knobs, handles, and hinges. Regularly clean and inspect these small parts to ensure smooth operation. Should you need specific parts for small repairs, get in touch with our food equipment provider.
• Schedule regular maintenance
  This may include professional inspections, lubrication, and replacement of worn-out parts. Partnering with a reliable OEM kitchen parts provider can ensure that you have access to genuine parts for maintenance and repairs.
• Train your staff
  Properly train your kitchen staff on how to clean and maintain the equipment. Provide clear instructions and guidelines, and emphasize the importance of regular cleaning and maintenance in keeping the equipment in good condition.
