San Francisco Kitchen.jpgReceived a call today from a General Contractor looking to clean heavy grease deposits on the floor and walls of a commericial kitchen.. The GC wants to prepare the floor so a Waterproofing Contractor can lay out his material.

This job will pay well if I have the correct degreaser/ Chems.

I will scrape as much material/grease from the floor and then surface clean?

Your suggestions on the best cleaning agent would be appreciated
 
That is absolutely disgusting!!!! Id hate to know they are serving food.

Yes, scrape at much as possible first and in most cases a alkaline cleaner and hot water would work but this is gonna need the SH mix.
 
Remember when a hood cleaner says 'good' SH mix, that means a REALLY 'good' pressure washers SH mix so if you want it to 'come right up' make sure its 'good' enough.
 
Ive had many of these kinds of jobs here....scraping is a good start. soak the area with a commercial kitchen degreaser, your local janitorial supply facility should have some options for you. i just purchased a nice little flat surface cleaner from Karcher its a FRV 30 with a 12" diameter and has a discharge hose that kicks all the dirty water out the back, it comes with about a 12' hose but too light for any heat appplication, ive upgarded mine by adding two 25' heater hose with 1 1/4 diameter, i can join the two hoses with camlocks if i need up to 50'. i purchased two of these machines because they allow me to offer new services to restaurant, meat, deli and bakery departments. Now if you soak the grease on the floor long enough with your product you picked up, you might have to do a few applications, dwell time will depennd on how good your degreaseer works. you can run your degreaser through your high pressure valve when you go over the floor with the machine. With the FRV 30 means less mess and easy clean up after. here is the link for FRV 30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxIvtOcRtc0 you may want to consider rooling in a small capture tank to collect the grease water because you might not want to push that stuff down the drain...

Good luch keep us posted on how you make out..

We average 4-10 of these situations a month nice money makers once you get it down...
 
Just curious, when you clean this stuff, do you have to collect water or just send it down the floor drain?
 
First, some GC's are looking to bend you over, sad to say, so get a contract. Second, when You are finished he is going to deduct a percentage of the agreed price for w/comp insurance if you don't have a policy, so account for workers comp. on the bid price Finally, Sodium Hydroxide and water spray on wash off with hot water,Get Paid Good luck!
 
They should have a grease tank in the ground, don't allow to go into storm drains.
