Passing Every Inspection and Impressing Every Guest
Your restaurant should always be inspection-ready, your dining room should earn five-star reviews for atmosphere, and your kitchen floor should keep your team safe through every rush. Achieving all three requires a cleaning program built specifically for the demands of food service — grease, timing, compliance, and the relentless pace of a working kitchen.
Health Department Inspection Readiness
Delaware Division of Public Health inspectors evaluate cleanliness, sanitation, and food safety practices on unannounced visits. Accumulated grease on floors and surfaces, dirty restrooms, or neglected storage areas can result in violations that damage your reputation and potentially close your doors. Space Care keeps your facility continuously inspection-ready rather than scrambling before a scheduled review.
Kitchen Grease Buildup
Commercial kitchens generate grease on floors, walls, behind equipment, and around cooking stations at a rate that standard mopping cannot address. Grease accumulation creates slip-and-fall hazards for staff, attracts pests, and degrades flooring. Our kitchen floor degreasing program uses commercial degreasers and scrubbing equipment designed specifically for food service environments.
Front-of-House Appearance Drives Reviews
Diners notice everything — sticky tables, smudged windows, stained carpets, dirty restrooms. Online review platforms amplify cleanliness complaints, and a single negative mention of a dirty restroom can deter dozens of potential guests. Space Care maintains your dining room, bar area, entryway, and restrooms to a standard that earns positive impressions and repeat visits.
Scheduling Around Kitchen Operations
Restaurants operate on tight schedules with prep starting early and service running late. Deep cleaning must happen in the narrow window between closing and morning prep without leaving wet floors, chemical odors, or equipment out of place. Our late-night and early-morning crews are experienced in working within these constraints.
Slip-and-Fall Liability on Kitchen Floors
Kitchen floors are among the most hazardous surfaces in any commercial environment. Grease, water, food debris, and heavy foot traffic create constant slip-and-fall risk. OSHA requires employers to maintain safe walking surfaces. Our degreasing and floor treatment programs reduce this liability by removing the grease buildup that makes kitchen floors dangerous.
Front-of-House to Back-of-House, Covered
Restaurant cleaning requires different approaches for the dining room, kitchen, restrooms, and exterior. Space Care covers every zone in your establishment with a coordinated program under one agreement.
Floor Restoration
Commercial kitchen floors need aggressive degreasing and non-slip treatment that standard mopping cannot provide. Our floor restoration program for restaurants includes commercial degreasing, deep scrubbing, and sealant application to maintain safe, clean kitchen surfaces.
Learn MorePressure Washing
Dumpster pads, grease trap areas, delivery entrances, and outdoor dining patios accumulate grease, food residue, and grime that attract pests and create odors. Regular pressure washing keeps these areas sanitary and presentable.
Learn MoreRestroom Sanitation
Guest restrooms are one of the most reviewed aspects of a restaurant experience. Deep sanitation of tile, grout, fixtures, and touch points ensures your restrooms meet the same standard as your dining room.
Learn MoreWindow Cleaning
Storefront windows are your restaurant first impression from the sidewalk. Clean windows showcase your dining room, display signage clearly, and invite passersby to step inside.
Learn MoreDaily Cleaning
Dining room surfaces, host stand, bar tops, booth seating, and entryways need thorough daily cleaning beyond what your front-of-house staff can manage during service. Our crews handle the deep daily work so your team can focus on guests.
Learn MoreCarpet Cleaning
Restaurants with carpeted dining areas face accelerated soiling from food and beverage spills. Regular hot-water extraction removes embedded stains and odors that vacuum cleaning alone cannot address.
Learn MorePest Control
A single pest sighting can destroy your restaurant reputation overnight. Our integrated pest management program provides scheduled treatments, exclusion work, and monitoring to keep your kitchen and dining areas pest-free and health-code compliant.
Learn MoreHandyman Services
Loose door handles, chipped counters, broken fixtures, and worn trim — the minor repairs that accumulate in busy restaurants. Our handyman service addresses these issues quickly so your facility always looks its best for guests.

Food Service Cleaning Standards and Compliance
Space Care follows cleaning practices aligned with the Delaware Division of Public Health food establishment regulations and FDA Food Code requirements. Our crews understand the sanitation standards that health inspectors evaluate and clean accordingly — paying particular attention to food-contact-adjacent surfaces, floor conditions, restroom sanitation, and waste area maintenance.
We also incorporate OSHA slip-and-fall prevention standards into our kitchen floor programs. Grease-laden kitchen floors are a leading cause of workplace injuries in the restaurant industry. Our degreasing protocols and floor treatment programs directly address this risk by removing the buildup that makes floors hazardous.
Important note: Space Care does not clean kitchen exhaust hoods or ductwork. Hood cleaning requires specialized equipment and NFPA 96 certification. We are happy to recommend certified hood cleaning specialists in the Delaware area. Our scope covers all other surfaces — floors, walls, equipment exteriors, prep surfaces, storage areas, dining rooms, restrooms, and building exteriors.
How We Clean Restaurants and Food Service Facilities
Restaurant cleaning requires careful scheduling and specialized techniques. Space Care operates late-night and early-morning crews that arrive after your kitchen closes and finish before morning prep begins. This window varies by establishment — some restaurants close at 10 PM, others at 2 AM — and we adjust our schedule to fit yours precisely.
Kitchen floor degreasing is the backbone of our restaurant program. We apply commercial-grade degreasers to all kitchen floor surfaces, scrub with rotary equipment, extract the dissolved grease and soil, and treat the floor with a slip-resistant finish. This process is performed weekly for high-volume kitchens and biweekly for moderate operations. Between deep degreasing visits, our daily crews perform thorough mopping with degreasing solution to maintain floor safety.
The dining room program focuses on the guest experience. We clean and sanitize all table surfaces, booth seating, bar tops, and host stands. Floors are vacuumed and mopped. Restrooms receive full sanitation. Entryways and vestibules are cleaned to ensure the first impression matches the dining experience you work so hard to deliver.
Exterior services round out the program. Monthly pressure washing of dumpster pads, delivery areas, and sidewalks prevents grease buildup and pest attraction. Quarterly storefront window cleaning and seasonal patio deep cleaning keep your restaurant looking its best from the street.
