How to clean your grease trap

A grease trap plant is an amazing tool that helps to keep your kitchen smelling great, so your customers keep coming back to enjoy your food. When you are running a food business, dealing with oil and grease becomes very common. Proper grease trap maintenance can keep your business running smoothly. But, when grease flows down the sink, it cools down because of water and transforms into semi-solid waste. That grease can create problems like blockage of sewer pipes and foul smell. To avoid these problems, the grease trap plant needs to be cleaned regularly.

 

There are different ways to clean a grease interceptor, it depends on the location, size, and type of grease trap plant. By setting an appropriate grease trap cleaning schedule, your business will run smoothly and efficiently. Cleaning your grease trap is something that you need a professional to do because a dirty grease separator can emit a bad smell from your kitchen drain. Because professionals have the right tools to perform this job and know the water line better than you do. And you would not want to damage your grease interceptor and bad smell in your kitchen.
