Importance of Restaurant Grease Trap Cleaning

Grease traps have been used in America since Victorian days. But still, you can easily find many restaurant or hotel owners in America getting fined for not cleaning restaurant grease traps on time.


Restaurant grease trap cleaning often gets ignored because grease traps are hidden under the ground, and usually, things that are out of sight are out of mind. But, it is as important any other thing in the restaurant. Today, in this post, we look at why restaurant grease trap cleaning is important so that you may not commit the same mistakes which others are committing.

Prevent clog up

The purpose of the grease trap is to separate the FOG (fats, oils, and grease) and solid food particles from the wastewater collected from the kitchen. Over time, grease starts to accumulate inside the trap. If this grease or scum is not removed on time, it can clog the drain pipes which reduce the functionality of the grease trap. If these clogged drains are not cleaned, it may lead to the complete breakdown of the water disposal system in a busy kitchen.

Avoid plumbing issues

Regular restaurant grease trap cleaning is very important to avoid plumbing issues. If too much residue builds up in your restaurant grease trump, it may lead you to a plumbing emergency. And you won’t want to face that at all. Therefore, it is important that you clean your restaurant grease traps regularly. Usually, it is suggested to clean the grease traps every three months. But you may need to clean it more frequently depending on your needs.

Maintain a hygienic work environment

Cleaning your restaurant grease traps on time helps maintain the hygienic working environment in the restaurant kitchen. As discussed earlier, clogging can cause the sink and plumbing fixtures to overflow. Hence, it is less likely that your restaurant staff would like to stay for long in this unhygienic working environment. Also, if it happens, when customers are dining out, they would not want to come and dine at such an unhygienic place again.

Avoid fine

Your restaurant wastewater disposal system connected directly to the main sewage system. If greasy water left unchecked and drained directly into the main sewage system, it could create issues at local water treatment facilities and clog sewer lines in the neighborhood. It will definitely attract some costly fine from the local authorities. Hence, spending on grease trap cleaning is far better than paying fine.

Save environment

Grease traps that have not been cleaned for a long time become toxic and start producing harmful gases and bacteria that can give birth to various water-borne diseases. This toxic scum kills the bacteria responsible for decomposition of food waste hence reduce the capability of grease trap to treat greasy water. This untreated water may cause serious health issues and create issues at local water treatment facilities and dangerous for the local environment. Grease trap cleaning can avoid these environmental risks.

So these are the few key reasons why restaurant grease trap cleaning is important.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
