The Restaurant Cleaning Supply Checklist for South Florida Kitchens

A South Florida restaurant lives and dies by its health inspection, and half of that is having the right supplies stocked and in use. Here's the checklist we build for restaurant accounts, area by area, so nothing gets missed on order day.

Kitchen and prep

Degreaser and all-purpose cleaner, sanitiser for food-contact surfaces, colour-coded microfiber cloths (to avoid cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat zones), blue nitrile gloves, and heavy-duty trash liners for the volume a kitchen produces. Colour-coding your cloths is a small change inspectors love.

Dish and warewashing

Dish detergent, rinse aid, a stainless-steel cleaner for the line, and plenty of towels. This area burns through the most chemical, so it's the first place bulk pricing pays off.

Restrooms

Toilet paper and paper towels sized to your traffic (see our restroom usage guide), foaming hand soap with a working dispenser, an acid bowl cleaner, air freshener, and liners. A clean, stocked restroom is the customer-facing signal that your kitchen is clean too.

Front of house

Glass cleaner for doors and displays, an all-purpose cleaner for tables, sanitiser, napkins and disposables. Keep a caddy stocked so staff clean between covers without a trip to the back.

Keep it on a standing order

Restaurants run on routine — put this checklist on a standing weekly or bi-weekly delivery so you're never scrambling before an inspection. We stock every item on this list for South Florida kitchens and quote it as one order. Hablamos español.
