Spring is here and the sunshine is coming! Just like your home, there’s no better time to give your restaurant a new fresh lease of life with a clean and clear out than spring.
But where should you start?
Here are some areas you can’t afford to miss when you come to give your restaurant a spring clean:
Exterior improvements
The exterior of your restaurant will need to be brought into the new season. Through autumn and winter, it’s sure to have collected a fair amount of grime and dirt that won’t look great in the sunshine.
Pressure wash your walkways and entrance areas to clear the dirt and add colourful hanging baskets and table plants to your outdoor tables. Ensuring your exterior is up to scratch gives your restaurant the best first impression possible to potential customers.
Deep clean the kitchen
Wipe down sleeves, mop and declutter your walk-in fridges and freezers.
Fully clean your ovens
Clear all the grease that has built up on your hobs and grill areas
Reorganise storage areas
Steam clean cooker hood
Flooring
The wild weather through winter sees customers trudge all sorts of dirt through your restaurants. In time for spring, it’s recommended to give your flooring a deep clean, whether it be carpeting or wood. This gives your restaurant a sparkling clean floor, ready for summer. Trust us, it’s well worth the effort.
Furniture checks
Every restaurant should regularly inspect their furniture for damage and signs of wear and tear. Doing so will prolong the furniture’s life and mean you don’t have to replace items so often.
Go around your dining area and ensure legs and tops are sturdy, and tighten up any bolts which have become loose or wonky. Check for scratches on metal frames and tears or rips in upholstered seating. Wooden table tops may need to be sanded or polished, too.
Your furniture has to endure a rigorous commercial environment, so it’s important for you to maintain them properly to get the longest lifespan out of them. You can also read our guide to keeping your restaurant furniture in good condition.
