Commercial kitchens are already required to ensure high standards of hygiene, protection against food contamination and fire hazards for the protection of their customers and staff.

It has been suggested that higher temperatures in summer could cause an estimated 10,000 extra cases of salmonella infection per year as well as a rise in heart-related deaths.

This is also applicable to water-borne diseases like cholera.Specialist commercial cleaning kitchen deep cleaning extract cleaning kitchen extract cleaning Continue reading →
