Commercial kitchen deep cleaning in the DMV
Nightly cleaning keeps a kitchen running; it doesn't keep it clean. Grease migrates behind equipment, under the line, onto ceiling tiles, and into places a closing crew will never reach. NEXUS BUILD provides top-to-bottom deep cleaning for commercial kitchens across DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
We take the kitchen apart the way a contractor does — pulling equipment off the line, degreasing behind and beneath, and putting it all back before your next prep shift. It pairs with our hood and exhaust cleaning for a single documented, inspection-ready reset.
What a deep clean covers
- Equipment degreasing — fryers, ranges, ovens, griddles, inside and behind
- Walls, ceilings, and ceiling tiles
- Floors, drains, and the grease baked under the cook line
- Stainless polishing and hood exteriors
- Walk-in interiors — shelving, floors, and fan guards
- Post-construction cleans before health inspection and opening
- Pre-inspection resets and closure/reopening turnarounds
When to book one
Before a health inspection you're worried about. After construction, before your opening inspection. When you take over a space from a previous operator. Or on a standing schedule — quarterly or semi-annual — so the kitchen never drifts far from day-one condition.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from our nightly cleaning?
Your crew cleans surfaces they can see and reach during a closing shift. A deep clean moves the equipment, strips accumulated grease from behind and beneath it, and resets the kitchen to the condition an inspector assumes it's in.
Can you clean overnight so we don't lose service?
Yes — most deep cleans run overnight after close and finish before morning prep. Larger kitchens are split across consecutive nights.
Do you handle post-construction cleaning?
Yes — it's a natural fit since we build kitchens. Construction dust and food service don't mix, and opening inspections notice.
