How to choose cleaning and work methods

Store cleaning methods vary depending on the type of dirt, surface material, restrictions during business hours, drying time, and whether equipment can be disassembled. We select from high-pressure washing, disassembly cleaning, floor polishing, stripping, vacuuming, and cleaning agents to suit each store's circumstances.

High-pressure washing and disassembly cleaning

For drains, grease traps, ducts, exhaust fans, and air conditioner interiors, the work time and scope vary depending on whether dismantling or high-pressure washing is required. To avoid placing undue strain on the equipment, the work plan takes into account the areas involved, materials, power and water availability, and protective covering requirements.

  • We’ll confirm the high-pressure cleaning requirements for drain pipes, grease traps, kitchen floors, and areas around ducts.
  • We’ll determine the scope of disassembly and cleaning for air conditioners, range hoods, and exhaust fans.
  • Post-work photos show the before-and-after condition and priority areas for the next visit.

Floor and carpet cleaning methods

Floor cleaning methods vary depending on the material and type of soiling, and may include rotary scrubbing, waxing, wax stripping, and carpet cleaning. We will clearly explain the work method, including drying time and access restrictions.

  • We check for old wax, darkened areas, walking routes, and oil film.
  • We factor the carpet material, stains, odors, and drying time into the work plan.
  • We first confirm the requirements for work outside business hours or on days the facility is closed.

Chemical Use and Safety Considerations

The choice of chemicals depends on factors such as grease, mold, odors, disinfection needs, flooring, and metal components. Stronger chemicals are not always better; we take into account materials, areas where food is handled, ventilation, and wipe-downs after the work.

  • We’ll identify the intended use and materials for alkaline cleaners, disinfectants and sanitizers, and stripping agents.
  • At food-handling facilities, we take care with post-work wiping, drying, and residual odors.
  • We also refer to official information and facility rules when needed.

QUESTIONS / FAQ

Questions about choosing cleaning and work methods

When are high-pressure washing and disassembly cleaning needed?

Consider cleaning areas that are difficult to reach with routine cleaning, such as drains, grease traps, ducts, exhaust fans, and the interiors of air conditioners. The work method is determined after checking the condition and material of the equipment, power and water availability, protective covering requirements, and what can be dismantled. You can request a quote by providing the number of stores, work areas, and a convenient time for the work.

How do you choose a cleaning method for floors and carpets?

We incorporate the flooring material, type of soiling, old wax, stains, odors, drying time, and access restrictions into the work plan. We will recommend methods suited to the store's conditions, such as rotary scrubbing, wax stripping, waxing, vacuum extraction, and semi-dry cleaning. You can request an estimate by sending us the number of stores, work locations, and preferred work times.

How do you select detergents and cleaning agents?

We select methods based on the intended use and material, including for grease, mold, odors, disinfection, flooring, and metal components. In food-handling areas, we also consider wiping down surfaces after work, ventilation, lingering odors, and facility rules.

Can the cleaning method be decided based on photos alone?

Photos can be used for an initial assessment, but the final assessment may change depending on the material, the thickness of the dirt, equipment condition, access to electricity and water, and available work space. Based on the photos, we will clarify what needs to be checked on-site and what can be outlined as an approximate estimate. Send us the number of stores, work areas, and times when work can be carried out, and you can request an estimate.

Do work and drying times vary depending on the cleaning method?

Requirements vary. High-pressure washing, disassembly cleaning, floor stripping, waxing, and carpet cleaning may require surface protection, drying time, ventilation, and restricted access. Please let us know in advance about available work times, the next day's opening time, noise restrictions, and key arrangements. Send us the number of stores, work areas, and preferred work times to request an estimate.
