Restaurant Cleaning in Vancouver
Commercial Drive's restaurant strip, Kitsilano's cafes, Yaletown's patios, and the dining density of Downtown Vancouver all answer to the same inspector. Mint Sanitary provides restaurant cleaning in Vancouver covering hood and exhaust cleaning, grease trap service, equipment degreasing, and full kitchen deep cleans, rated 5 out of 5 across 50+ Google reviews. Vancouver Coastal Health conducts over 16,000 food facility inspections annually across the North Shore and Lower Mainland, and Vancouver kitchens are part of that count every year. Our crews travel from our North Vancouver base across the Lions Gate or Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, so same-day booking isn't guaranteed the way it is closer to home, but new customers still save 10% off their first clean with code MINT26.

What's Included in Restaurant Cleaning in Vancouver
Hood and Exhaust System Cleaning in Vancouver
NFPA 96 requires hood cleaning every 1 to 3 months, depending on cooking volume, and Vancouver kitchens are held to the same standard as anywhere else in the region. We remove grease, soot, and buildup from the hood face, ductwork, and dampers, and provide NFPA 96-compliant documentation your Vancouver fire inspector can review on the spot.
Grease Trap and Drain Cleaning for Vancouver Restaurants
Grease traps get cleaned and flushed quarterly or as needed to prevent backups, odors, and drain failures in Vancouver kitchens, many of which run older plumbing that clogs faster under heavy grease loads.
Equipment Degreasing in Vancouver Kitchens
Ovens, fryers, grills, range tops, and flat-top cookers across Vancouver get degreased with food-safe products that cut through baked-on grease without damaging cooking surfaces.
Surface Sanitization for Vancouver Kitchens
Counters, walls, and backsplashes in Vancouver restaurants get sanitized with eco-friendly, food-safe products, safe to use around active food prep.
Floor and Wall Cleaning in Vancouver Restaurants
A deep clean removes the buildup standard mopping misses and clears slip hazards that standing water and grease leave behind, a common issue in busy Vancouver kitchens with high foot traffic during dinner service.
Ceiling and Light Fixture Cleaning
Grease and dust collect overhead too. We clean ceilings, light fixtures, and ventilation components as part of every full deep clean in Vancouver.

Signs Vancouver Properties Need This Service
A Commercial Drive kitchen and a Yaletown tower restaurant show grease buildup differently, and it's worth knowing which signs apply where. On the Drive, many restaurants sit in older two- and three-storey commercial buildings with shared walls and exhaust risers that predate current fire code, so a hood that's overdue for cleaning shows up fast as odor bleeding into the espresso bar or vintage shop next door. In Yaletown and Downtown, restaurants are more often ground-floor tenants inside residential condo towers, where hood exhaust runs through shared building ductwork and any grease buildup becomes a strata concern, not just a kitchen one.
Kitsilano's beachfront cafes and restaurants see seasonal spikes, with patio and takeout volume climbing through summer and putting extra load on hoods, fryers, and grease traps that were sized for a quieter shoulder season. Older plumbing under Commercial Drive and Mount Pleasant kitchens backs up faster than newer installations once grease traps go past their service window. Standing grease film on floors near the flat-top or fryer line, visible soot at the hood face, and slow floor drains are the three signs that show up first regardless of neighborhood, and they're the ones a Vancouver Coastal Health inspector notices immediately.

How Our Vancouver Restaurant Cleaning Process Works
Pre-Assessment and Custom Plan
We walk the kitchen, check grease buildup on hoods and equipment, and map traffic patterns before building a cleaning plan around your Vancouver location and schedule.
After-Hours Scheduling Across Vancouver
Cleaning happens early morning before you open or late evening after you close, 7 days a week, across every Vancouver neighbourhood we serve. Because our crews travel from North Vancouver, we recommend booking ahead rather than assuming a same-day slot is open, especially for kitchens further from the bridges like Kitsilano or Point Grey.
Deep Cleaning Execution
Cleaning runs top to bottom: hood and exhaust first, then equipment, then walls and floors, using eco-friendly food-safe products throughout your Vancouver kitchen.
Final Inspection and Documentation
Before we leave your Vancouver kitchen, we do a final walkthrough, take photos, and hand over a completion report you can keep on file for your next Vancouver Coastal Health or fire inspection.
Why Vancouver Businesses Choose Mint Sanitary
Cleaning scheduled across Vancouver, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, booked ahead of your preferred slot rather than same-day.
Non-toxic and biodegradable, safe to use around active food prep.
Certified documentation for Vancouver kitchens, ready for your next fire inspection.
Working knowledge of inspection standards as they apply to Vancouver restaurants.
For restaurants inside Yaletown, Downtown, or West End condo towers, we work with building management on freight elevator bookings and loading dock windows so a hood or grease trap job doesn't stall at the front desk.
On Commercial Drive and along Kitsilano's main corridors, we schedule around narrow loading zones and shared walls with neighboring businesses, keeping noise and odor contained during service hours.
No surprises, no hidden fees, upfront pricing before any work begins.
New clients save with code MINT26.

Great post-construction cleanup for our Deep Cove renovation. Handled all the fine dust and debris thoroughly. Would use again for future projects.
Why Vancouver's Climate and Market Make This Different
Vancouver packs a wider range of kitchen setups into a smaller radius than most cities its size, and that changes how restaurant cleaning gets scheduled and executed. A Commercial Drive kitchen in a converted storefront runs its exhaust through original 1970s and 1980s ductwork shared with the units next door, so hood cleaning has to account for grease migration between businesses in a way a standalone building never does. A few kilometres away, a Yaletown or Downtown restaurant sits inside a high-rise strata building where the hood system, grease interceptor, and even the loading dock schedule are governed by the building's bylaws, not just the restaurant's lease, so a job that would take an hour to book in a standalone North Shore building can take a week of coordination with property management. Kitsilano's coastal exposure and patio-driven summer volume add another variable: grease traps and hood systems built for a steady year-round pace get pushed harder in July and August than they would be in a location without a beach two blocks away. None of this changes the pricing, but it does change how far ahead a Vancouver restaurant should book, particularly one relying on us to travel over from North Vancouver.
