Restaurants and Food Service Cleaning Services
Health-code compliant cleaning for dining rooms, kitchens, and food-prep areas.
Dallas has one of the most dynamic restaurant scenes in the country, from the upscale steakhouses on McKinney Avenue and the trendy eateries along Lower Greenville to the Tex-Mex institutions of Oak Cliff and the ramen shops and pho houses of Richardson's restaurant row. Running a restaurant in Texas means navigating the Texas Department of State Health Services inspection standards, Dallas County Health Department visits, and the increasingly demanding expectations of diners who post health inspection scores online within minutes of their meal. Commercial Cleaning of Texas provides health-code compliant commercial cleaning for Dallas-area restaurants, fast-casual operators, food halls, and institutional food service facilities. Our scope goes far beyond the dining room — we specialize in the back-of-house kitchen cleaning that health inspectors scrutinize most closely. Hood exhaust systems clogged with grease are a leading cause of restaurant fires; floor drains blocked with organic matter become pest entry points; walk-in cooler floors slick with spilled prep product are a serious slip hazard. Our kitchen deep-cleaning crews use high-temperature steam, degreasers rated for commercial kitchen surfaces, and purpose-built tools for reaching the undersides of fryers, the interiors of ovens, and the coils behind refrigeration units. We work during your closing window so your kitchen is inspection-ready every morning.
Commercial Cleaning for Restaurants and Food Service
Restaurant cleaning requires equal attention to front-of-house appearance and back-of-house sanitation. We deliver both.
Kitchen Deep Cleaning and Degreasing
Commercial kitchens in Dallas accumulate grease on every surface — hoods, exhaust fans, fryer exteriors, walls behind cooking lines, and floor surfaces under equipment. Our kitchen teams use commercial-grade alkaline degreasers and steam units to break down polymerized grease on hoods and cooking surfaces, scrub floor tiles and grout channels, clean floor drains, and wipe down walls and shelving behind prep areas. We work from top to bottom and front to back to prevent recontamination.
Dining Room and Bar Cleaning
The front of house is your restaurant's brand expression. Tables, chairs, booths, and bar stools are cleaned and sanitized nightly. We mop or scrub dining room floors based on surface type, wipe down walls and baseboards near tables, clean behind bar equipment, sanitize the bar top and taps, and address restrooms to a standard that matches the quality of your food and service.
Walk-In Cooler and Freezer Cleaning
Walk-in coolers and freezers accumulate spilled prep product, humidity condensate, and mold along wall joints and floor channels. We clean walk-in interiors on a scheduled basis, wiping down shelving, scrubbing floors, cleaning door gaskets, and verifying that drain lines are clear. Clean walk-ins protect food safety, extend the life of your refrigeration equipment, and impress health inspectors.
Hood and Exhaust System Cleaning
Texas fire code requires commercial kitchen hood exhaust systems to be cleaned at intervals determined by cooking volume and fuel type — typically quarterly for high-volume operations and semi-annually for moderate-use kitchens. Our certified hood cleaning technicians clean exhaust fans, ductwork, and hood baffles to NFPA 96 standard, providing service documentation you can file with your insurance carrier and fire marshal.
Common Restaurant Cleaning Challenges
- Removing polymerized grease from hood surfaces that builds up between deep-clean visits
- Cleaning floor grout and drain channels that accumulate organic material rapidly
- Maintaining front-of-house appearance to a standard that matches food quality
- Scheduling kitchen deep cleaning within a tight closing window without overtime for kitchen staff
- Keeping walk-in coolers clean enough to pass unannounced health department inspections
- Controlling odors in bar areas where spilled beer and cocktail residue sours overnight
Restaurant Cleaning That Passes Every Inspection
We begin every restaurant relationship with a kitchen walk-through and a hazard assessment, mapping your cooking line, identifying grease accumulation hot spots, and confirming your health department's specific requirements. Our scope of work is written to the Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER) cleaning standards so your cleaning program is inspection documentation in itself. We provide dated service reports after every visit — front-of-house and back-of-house — so your manager has records on hand if an inspector arrives unannounced. For multi-unit operators in the Dallas market, we offer consolidated reporting and account management across all locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a commercial kitchen be deep cleaned?
Texas health code and fire regulations generally require full kitchen deep cleaning at least monthly, with hood cleaning quarterly or semi-annually depending on cooking volume. High-volume kitchens doing 300+ covers per service benefit from weekly deep cleaning of the cooking line and floor drains.
Can you clean the hood system to NFPA 96 standard?
Yes. Our certified hood cleaning technicians follow NFPA 96 procedures for hood baffles, exhaust fans, and accessible ductwork. We provide a dated cleaning certificate after each service that your insurance carrier and fire marshal will accept.
Do you clean during the restaurant's operating hours?
We perform front-of-house cleaning during operating hours only when specifically requested and only in non-active dining areas. Kitchen deep cleaning always occurs after closing to meet health code requirements and to avoid interfering with food preparation.
What if the health department shows up on a day we haven't been cleaned?
Our service reports document the date, scope, and technician for every cleaning visit. Inspectors recognize a well-maintained kitchen; our programs are designed to keep your facility in compliance between visits, not just on the day we're there.
