WHY STEAM CLEANING
Why SE Florida Restaurants Choose Kitchen Guard for Exterior Steam Cleaning
Restaurant grease and grime don’t stay inside the kitchen. Exhaust fans push grease-laden air onto your roof, walls, and surrounding surfaces every single service. In Southeast Florida’s heat and humidity, that buildup becomes a fire hazard, a health code violation, and a property damage risk. Kitchen Guard’s eco-friendly, chemical-free hot-water steam cleaning removes grease at the source — safely, completely, and without harmful runoff.
Chemical-Free Process
We use high-pressure, high-temperature hot water — no harsh chemicals that could contaminate food prep areas or damage your property.
Wastewater Recovery
We capture and properly dispose of all wastewater, keeping your property in compliance with Florida stormwater runoff regulations.
After-Hours Scheduling
We work around your hours so your kitchen operations are never interrupted. Most exterior cleanings are completed overnight or early morning.
WHAT WE CLEAN
Every Restaurant Exterior Surface We Service
Kitchen Guard cleans every exterior surface affected by kitchen exhaust grease and regular outdoor grime. Our technicians use professional-grade hot-water pressure equipment calibrated to each surface type — no over-pressure damage to delicate surfaces, no under-cleaning on heavy buildup areas.
Rooftop & Exhaust Areas
The area around your rooftop exhaust fan accumulates the heaviest grease. We degrease fan housings, exhaust cowlings, and surrounding roof surfaces.
Kitchen Exterior Walls
Grease vapor deposits on exterior walls create discoloration, attract pests, and create fire risk. We remove buildup from brick, stucco, and painted surfaces.
Dumpster Pads & Enclosures
Dumpster areas are a top citation point for Florida health inspectors. We clean concrete pads and enclosure walls to pass inspection every time.
Drive-Thrus & Loading Docks
High-traffic areas accumulate oil, grease, and organic matter. We pressure-wash these areas to eliminate slip hazards and keep them inspection-ready.
Parking Lots & Patios
A clean restaurant exterior is part of your brand. We clean concrete, pavers, and tile in outdoor dining and parking areas.
FLORIDA COMPLIANCE
Exterior Cleaning & Florida Health Inspection Requirements
Florida’s Division of Hotels and Restaurants inspects restaurant exteriors as part of regular licensing reviews. Inspectors cite grease accumulation on rooftops and exterior walls, unsanitary dumpster areas, and improperly managed wastewater — all of which Kitchen Guard’s service directly addresses. NFPA 96 also requires that grease accumulation outside the exhaust system be controlled, making regular exterior cleaning part of your fire code compliance program.
Florida Statute 509
Florida’s public food service statute requires facilities to maintain clean premises inside and outside. Exterior grease accumulation is a citable violation.
NFPA 96 Exterior Requirements
Section 11.6 of NFPA 96 requires that grease on exterior surfaces of the building be managed as part of an overall fire prevention program.
Wastewater Compliance
Florida stormwater regulations require that wastewater from commercial washing not enter storm drains. Kitchen Guard’s wastewater recovery system keeps you fully compliant.
