Restaurant Grease by Dumpsters

I have a few "family" restaurants that I just landed. All of them have heavy grease buildup by the dumpsters. Any input on what is the best method to remove the grease? I am new to restaurant accounts. I currently use a degreaser and have the temp up to 245 degrees, and use a 10 inch blade scraper. :moil:
 
What type of food is served? What is used as cooking oil? And what type of fryer oil is used?
 
Better yet email me at lou@hoods-more.com I'll be alot more candid that way.:smilewinkgrin:
 
Scrape it first to get the bulk of the stuff then a good degreaser then some dwell time then hot water wash.

Have you checked the temp of the water coming out of the burner or at the end of the hose with a thermometer? Most of the time the water temp is not the same as the setting that is on the dial on the heat control.

This has been debated over and over and over and over and then proven. Most machines will give you 120 to 140 degrees heat rise over ambient temperature but that is what is coming out of the coil, not at the end of the hose so the longer the hose the more it will start to cool and lose heat.

Don't believe what the manufacturer's claim, it has been proven several times that you will not get the temp that is on the dial at the end of your hose, you might get close to that coming out of the boiler but you do not use 15' hoses to use that heat, most people have 100' to 300' hoses so the water will cool down some by the time it comes out of that hose.

No I have not checked the temp with a thermometer. I'll try that. I am doing it like you suggested, just very caked on. I guess it will take a couple times to get it all up. Looks much better than it did though.
 
When it is caked on, you will save chemicals and time by scraping up all the big stuff first, that is what I do in those situations.

Depending on your chemicals, it will usually get a little cleaner each time you clean to a point to where you get to the permanent stains that just will not come out without specialized equipment or very strong and harsh chemicals but for places like that they probably would not pay for the specialized service.

Thanks Chris. I use a heavy duty 12" blade scraper. I guess there's no "easy button" for this one!
