Question 4

What happens during a free ice machine cleaning inspection?

Accepted Answer

During our free cleaning inspection, we remove the cover panels of your ice machine and show you the interior condition. You'll see firsthand any scale buildup, mold, or slime that has accumulated. If you're interested in cleaning, we can schedule a service at that time.

Question 5

Why is ice machine cleaning important for food safety?

Accepted Answer

Dirty ice machines can harbor harmful bacteria, mold, and yeast that contaminate the ice served to customers. The FDA considers ice a food product, so contaminated ice can lead to health code violations, failed inspections, and potential liability. Regular deep cleaning ensures compliance with food safety regulations.
