Your kitchen surfaces feel perpetually sticky, even after wiping them down. A dull film seems to cover everything, from cabinet doors to appliance handles, and you can't quite get rid of that lingering cooking smell.
You've probably tried wiping down surfaces with your usual kitchen spray, only to find the grease smears around or returns quickly. It feels like a losing battle, and you might think you're not cleaning thoroughly enough. The truth is, daily cooking creates a unique challenge that standard cleaning products and methods aren't designed to handle.
When you cook frequently, especially frying or sautéing, tiny particles of grease and oil become airborne. This "aerosolized" grease doesn't just stay near the stove; it settles on every nearby surface – your cabinets, walls, ceiling, and even the exterior of your appliances. This sticky layer traps dust and grime, making surfaces look dull and feel greasy. Standard all-purpose cleaners often just spread this grease around; you need a specialized degreaser with surfactants designed to break down and emulsify oil.
Thoroughly degreasing a heavy cooking kitchen requires more than a quick wipe. It involves identifying all affected surfaces, which can extend beyond the immediate cooking area, and applying the correct degreasing agent with adequate dwell time. Different surfaces, like painted cabinets versus stainless steel, require specific techniques to avoid damage while effectively removing the buildup. The range hood filter, often overlooked, also accumulates significant grease and needs regular, deep cleaning to maintain efficiency.
Everyone who cleans for Broom works for Broom — hired, trained, and background-checked by us, not sourced from a gig app or contractor marketplace. That training includes this specific problem: the right product for this surface, the correct dwell time, and what causes damage when used incorrectly. The same cleaner returns every visit, building familiarity with how your home specifically accumulates this kind of buildup. When you mention it in the quote form, your cleaner arrives prepared — not discovering it once they're inside. ##
Your kitchen will feel truly clean, not just superficially wiped. Surfaces will be smooth and free of sticky residue, and the air will smell fresh, not of lingering cooking odors. We use professional-grade degreasers and techniques to emulsify and remove grease from all affected surfaces, including those often missed, like cabinet tops and range hood filters.
If your kitchen has accumulated significant grease buildup over time, a one-time deep clean will reset it. After that, recurring visits will maintain a consistently clean and grease-free environment.
These often show up together. When they do, we adjust your plan to handle the combination.
How often should a heavy cooking kitchen be deep cleaned?
For households that cook daily, a deep clean every 1-2 months is ideal to prevent significant grease accumulation. Regular maintenance cleans are essential between deep cleans.
Can grease buildup damage surfaces?
Over time, yes. Grease can attract dust and grime, creating an abrasive layer that can dull finishes. It can also be difficult to remove once it hardens, potentially requiring more aggressive cleaning methods that could harm delicate surfaces.
Is the range hood filter included in the cleaning?
Yes, in a deep clean, we remove and thoroughly degrease the range hood filter. During recurring maintenance cleans, we address accessible parts of the hood and filter as needed.
