Industrial-Strength Drain Cleaning for Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchen drains handle volumes of grease, food solids, and organic waste that residential drain cleaners are not formulated to address. Industrial-strength commercial drain cleaners use high-alkaline formulas to break down grease buildup and clear blockages in floor drains, sink traps, and grease trap lines -- the critical drain points in any foodservice operation. We offer commercial drain cleaners and openers from Boardwalk, QuestSpecialty, and Atosa, covering drain cleaners, grease trap treatments, drain fly repellents, and floor drain maintainers.

Drain Cleaners and Openers

Alkaline drain cleaners work by saponifying fats and oils -- converting grease into a water-soluble soap that flushes through the drain line. This makes them particularly effective for the grease-heavy clogs common in restaurant and commercial kitchen floor drains. Available in single bottles and cases, they are practical to stock as a regular maintenance supply rather than waiting for a clog to develop.

Grease Trap Cleaners

Grease trap cleaners use biological or enzymatic action to digest accumulated grease and organic material inside the trap itself, reducing buildup between professional pump-outs and helping prevent drain fly infestations. Regular treatment with a grease trap cleaner extends the interval between service calls and reduces odor in the drain area -- a common complaint in commercial kitchens, particularly during warm months. Our grease trap cleaners are available in 18-ounce, quart, and gallon sizes and are sold in cases for ongoing maintenance use.

Drain Fly Repellents and Drain Maintainers

Drain flies breed in the organic film that accumulates inside floor drains and grease traps. A drain fly repellent applied regularly disrupts that breeding cycle and keeps infestations from developing -- a particularly important consideration for kitchens subject to health inspections. Floor drain maintainers work similarly, introducing biological agents that digest organic buildup inside the drain line and prevent the slow accumulation that leads to partial blockages and odor.
