How to Choose a Degreaser for a Commercial Kitchen
For a commercial kitchen degreaser, check three things before you buy: the surface material, the type of grease and how staff will clean it. Make a separate note for equipment coatings and any surface that touches food.
Identify the surface and the grease
A stovetop may have routine splashes, while a tray may have baked-on residue. A kitchen floor may collect grease around fryers, with different flooring or grout in each zone. Describe where the grease builds up and whether it is fresh, sticky or baked on.
Record the material as precisely as possible: stainless steel, aluminium, coated metal, ceramic tile or a sealed floor. Check the equipment or flooring manual if the material is unclear. For mixed materials, ask the supplier which parts the product is intended to clean.
Match the product to the cleaning method
Tell the supplier whether the team wipes, scrubs, soaks removable parts or uses dedicated equipment. For example, the supplier lists AEROKLEEN PLUS for heavy-duty kitchen cleaning, including baking pans and floors. Ask about the exact tray or floor material before choosing it.
When comparing quotations, request the documented application method, dilution and rinsing instructions for your intended job. Compare cost per usable amount at the documented dilution if available, alongside pack size and expected consumption.
For your enquiry, send a photo of the affected area, the material, a short description of the grease and your current cleaning method. Mention any problem with the existing routine, such as repeated scrubbing or residues on a particular surface.
Common degreaser questions
Can I use a floor degreaser on a baking tray?
Check the specific product documentation for the tray material and intended use, including whether the surface contacts food and whether rinsing is required.
What if I am unsure whether a surface is aluminium or coated?
Share the equipment make and model and the relevant manual page if available. Ask for compatibility confirmation before selecting a product.
