A weekly deep-cleaning checklist for kitchen staff maintaining the walk-in cooler — the largest and most critical piece of cold storage equipment in any restaurant. Covers shelf removal and sanitisation, wall and ceiling wipe-down, floor scrubbing and drain cleaning, door gasket inspection, evaporator coil condition, light function, and temperature verification after cleaning is complete.

Walk-in coolers are cold, damp environments where mould, bacteria, and cross-contamination risks accumulate between cleanings. Spilled marinades, leaking containers, and condensation create conditions that compromise food safety and shorten shelf life. Weekly deep cleaning prevents build-up and keeps the unit running efficiently.
