3-step griddle cleaning system

On September 26th Julieanna Boyer of 3M stopped by to bring our Sales, Marketing, Returns, and Purchasing teams up to date on the different cleaning supplies and tools that 3M has to offer.

When it comes to cleaning, 3M has found a way to really embody the saying, “work smarter, not harder.” Regardless of your cleaning needs, 3M has you covered with cleaning pads ranging from from light duty to heavy duty, certified stainless steel cleaners and polishers, and even griddle cleaning products suitable for all grills.

Julieanna was personally a huge advocate of the three step griddle cleaning process. It only takes 3-5 minutes and all you have to do is squirt, scour, and squeegee. Squirt Scotch-Brite Quick Clean Griddle Liquid onto a hot grill to lift and loosen stubborn buildup. Then gently scour the griddle with a heavy duty griddle pad, and squeegee away any excess dirty liquid, leaving the griddle spotless. Julieanna couldn’t stress enough how quick, easy, and clean this process is and even mentioned that she wears a dress when demonstrating to emphasis how effortless it really is.

In the end, 3M products are perfect for any restaurant or bar. They offer a broad assortment of cleaning pads, polishers, and griddle products among other cleaning supplies to help make cleaning and maintaining equipment easier than ever!

Fun Fact:  3M stands for Minnesota, Mining, and Manufacturing

QuestSpecialtyCorp-logoWhen in need of a powerful cleaner for your restaurant equipment, Quest Specialty has you covered. They are a trusted manufacturer of specialty chemicals including aerosols, liquids, powders, and wipes for use in sanitary supply, industrial specialties, foodservice, and automotive industries. Located in Brenham, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri—Quest Specialty has been offering quality commercial products since 1953. With Quest Specialty products, the product does the work for you, making cleaning much easier and less timely than before. No matter your needs, there is a Quest Specialty cleaner fit for almost any application.

Quest Specialty is known for their niche product Carbon Off®, a powerful gel that dissolves carbon buildup from metal surfaces. It is safe on any metal surface with no scrubbing involved; it works quickly saving on valuable labor and time. Carbon Off® is available in an aerosol can, liquid, and a gel, however this product is not available for sale in California and Utah.

Foam Plus™ Oven Cleaner removes carbon grease from your ovens, grills, flat tops, fryers, etc. Once your grill or oven is cooled off, to about 180-200°F, and turned off, spray on the surface—the cleaner will become foamy. Wipe clean with a wet cloth or sponge and then rinse with a vinegar and water solution. This product will leave your oven clean with no toxic fumes or odors.

Fryers can get quite dirty over time and can be quite tedious to clean. Quest Specialty offers a low foaming boil out tablet and liquid cleaner that will not foam over—Fryer Puck® and Boil Out™ Fryer Cleaner. Simply drain the oil, then fill your fryer with water and drop the puck in; turn fryer to 220°F. These two products will help extend the life of your oil while cleaning the toughest jobs.

Brite Shine™ is a great option for those smudgy fingerprints on your stainless steel equipment. It is food safe and leaves behind a protective coating that resists finger markings and smudges. Available in an aerosol can, wipes, and liquid.

Pink Dishwash concentrated dishwashing detergent is formulated to clean your dishes while leaving them sparking and free of spots. This detergent will not dry your skin, instead it is “lotionized” to prevent dryness and cracking.

For those pesky bug problems, Quest Specialty has your solution. For your doorway traffic On Time Insecticide aerosol metered spray will kill any flies, mosquitoes, and gnats that try to sneak their way inside. Eradicator multi-purpose insect spray is also available, with a 4-week residual control for crawling and flying insects.
