Princeton Grease Trap Cleaning

How to Properly Maintain Your Restaurant’s Grease Trap

Commercial kitchens are infamously known for the substantial amount of great that seems to easily build up overnight. To help reduce any build-ups and backups in the system – they have a grease trap installed. However, the trap must have continual care given to it in order to do its job. That’s why at restaurants in Princeton grease trap cleaning is a crucial operation.

Often, restaurant managers take shortcuts when it comes to grease – they believe pouring Draino down the pipes will do the trick. This is not the case. In order to prevent build-up (which eventually leads to backups), you must regularly and thoroughly clean your grease trap. A clogged trap can enter your sewer line and your septic system leading to a blockage. If that is the case, the establishment needs to be shut down for thorough sanitization.

Cleaning your grease trap is a daunting and time-consuming task. Trust a professional in Princeton to maintain your grease trap on a set schedule. However, if you prefer to care for it yourself – check out these tips.

Find Your Grease Trap

In a commercial kitchen, you can often find your grease trap on the adjacent to the kitchen’s dishwashing sink. It may look like a manhole.

How To Care For Your Grease Trap

When cleaning your trap you must have your restaurant closed and free of any customers. Your equipment must also be shut off to avoid any hazards.

  1. Begin by removing the lid from the trap and measuring how much grease is inside your trap. Then log this in your DOG report.
  2. Take out any water located inside the trap and place it in a bucket to the side for later.
  3. Remove all the grease and put it into a different bucket. Also, scrape the sides and bottom to remove any lingering grease.
  4. Scrub all pieces of the trap and flush out the screening.
  5. Finally, pour the water you had previously set aside back into the trap and replace and any removed parts.
