Common Questions

How often should commercial ice machines be cleaned?

FDA and manufacturer guidelines recommend professional cleaning at least every 6 months. High-volume locations (like bakeries or busy bars) often require cleaning every 3 months to prevent mold and slime buildup.

What is 'pink slime' in my ice machine?

Pink slime is a bacterial biofilm (Serratia marcescens) that thrives in moist environments. It's an airborne bacteria that feeds on yeast and sugar particles. It is a health hazard and requires professional sanitization to eliminate.

Do you provide documentation for health inspectors?

Yes. Every service includes a detailed digital report with before/after photos, a list of EPA-registered chemicals used, and a dated service certificate to prove compliance to health inspectors.

How long does the cleaning process take?

A thorough deep clean typically takes 2-3 hours depending on the machine size and condition. We often schedule during off-hours to minimize disruption to your business.
