The following checklist will help ensure your team has the necessary restaurant cleaning supplies to keep your customers focused on the menu, not what’s on the floors. 

Floor Mats 

The easiest way to deal with a mess in the kitchen is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Compartment mats contain spills to the kitchen, facilitate quick cleanups, and help avert dangerous slips and falls. 

Mops 

When mats aren’t enough to control a spill, or when it’s time to clean the kitchen after a busy day, mops are a kitchen cleaner’s best line of defense to sop up messes and keep the floor spotless. Just make sure you have plenty of extra mop heads and buckets. 

Remember: Whenever your team uses a mop, a wet floor sign should never be far behind.

Floor Scrapers

When a mop or broom just won’t do the trick and there’s something that just won’t come up, kitchen crews can count on a good floor scraper to pry away those stubborn splotches and stains. 

Brooms

A quality broom can be an invaluable tool for cleaning a commercial kitchen, too—just ask anyone who’s spent a day working behind a deli counter selling poppy and sesame seed bagels. Be sure to get a variety of sizes to reach all corners of your restaurant’s kitchen, and leave no crumb behind. 

Gloves

When it comes time to focus on what’s in the sink, dishwashing gloves are a must so the mess doesn’t get onto your team's hands, or any other part of your kitchen. 

Other additional necessities include: 

• Sponges
• Spray Bottles
• Dish Rags
• Soaps & Detergents
• Cleaning Solutions
• Steel Wool
• Oven Cleaner
