Maintaining strict sanitation standards in the food service industry isn’t just about making a good impression—it’s a legal, ethical, and operational priority. From kitchens and dining areas to restrooms and waste stations, every square inch of your restaurant must meet defined health codes to protect your customers and your team.
At Ziva Cleaning, we go beyond basic cleaning. Our team understands the pressures of running a restaurant and helps ensure your environment is spotless, safe, and compliant—every single day.
Why Sanitation Standards in Food Service Matter
Sanitation isn’t optional—it’s the backbone of a trustworthy food operation. Regulatory bodies enforce hygiene protocols to prevent foodborne illnesses, ensure safe food handling, and uphold public confidence.
Failure to comply can result in:
Costly fines and violations
Forced closures
Loss of reputation and customer trust
Increased risk of contamination and illness
Protecting your customers means investing in proactive, professional sanitation practices, not reactive damage control.
Critical Zones That Demand Your Attention
Your entire facility must function like a well-oiled, germ-free machine. Here are the five key areas we prioritize:
1. Kitchen & Food Prep Areas
As the core of your operation, your kitchen must be:
Sanitized regularly with food-safe disinfectants
Free of cross-contamination risks
Monitored for grease buildup and bacteria-prone surfaces
At Ziva Cleaning, our team follows FDA guidelines and ensures countertops, utensils, slicers, mixers, and prep zones are thoroughly sanitized, not just wiped down.
2. High-Touch Surfaces
These small areas often go unnoticed but are frequent contamination hubs:
Refrigerator handles
Faucet knobs
Light switches
Point-of-sale equipment
We use EPA-approved sanitizers to eliminate bacteria and viruses from every high-contact surface, reducing the risk of disease transmission between staff and customers.
3. Floors, Walls & Ceilings
These are often overlooked in daily routines but are crucial to:
Prevent slip-and-fall accidents
Reduce grease fires from ceiling buildup
Keep pests like cockroaches or rodents away
Our cleaning professionals use degreasers, steamers, and non-toxic scrub solutions to address even the hardest-to-reach places.
4. Restrooms
Customers equate clean bathrooms with clean kitchens. That’s why restrooms must be:
Disinfected frequently
Stocked with soap and sanitizer
Smell-free and dry
From door handles to sink basins, our restroom cleaning procedures help you exceed both guest expectations and health department requirements.
5. Waste Disposal Areas
Improper waste handling creates:
Pest attractions
Foul odors
Mold and bacteria growth
Ziva Cleaning ensures waste bins are emptied, sanitized, and deodorized, and that organic waste is managed safely to prevent contamination in kitchen spaces.
