Frequently Asked Questions About Soak Tank Cleaning
We understand you may have questions about our soak tank technique. Fortunately, we’re happy to answer them! Below are some of the most common questions we get asked.
What is a soak tank service?
A soak tank service is a cleaning system that uses a specialized solution to remove fats, oils and grease (FOGs) and carbon from commercial kitchen equipment. Items are soaked overnight, then rinsed clean, making it easier to maintain heavily used kitchen utensils.
How does a soak tank clean kitchen equipment?
The soak tank uses a non-corrosive, biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down FOGs. By soaking items for several hours, the solution loosens up any buildup so it can be easily rinsed off without heavy scrubbing.
What types of items can be cleaned in a soak tank?
Soak tanks can clean a variety of commercial kitchen items, including hood filters, fryer baskets, oven racks, broiler grates, baking sheets, pots and pans, and cooking utensils.
How often should I use a soak tank?
Frequency of use will depend on your kitchen’s volume and type of cooking. High-volume kitchens may use the soak tank daily, while others may only use it a few times a week. A consistent routine helps maintain cleanliness and reduce grease buildup.
Do I—or my team—need to maintain the soak tank?
No. With HOODZ’s Soak Tank Service Program, our highly trained technicians handle routine draining, cleaning, and refilling of the tank on a schedule that works for your kitchen.
Is the soak tank cleaning solution safe?
Yes. The solution used in our soak tank services is non-corrosive, non-toxic, and biodegradable, making it safe for use in commercial kitchens.
Can a soak tank replace hood cleaning services?
No. A soak tank is designed to clean removable items like filters and cookware. It does not replace professional hood, duct, or exhaust system cleaning, which is required to maintain compliance with NFPA 96.
Does using a soak tank save time and labor?
Yes. Soak tanks reduce the need for manual scrubbing and re-cleaning, allowing kitchen staff to focus on operations instead of intensive cleaning tasks.
Will a soak tank help improve kitchen safety?
Consistent use of the soak tank helps reduce grease buildup on equipment, which can lower fire risk and support a cleaner, safer working environment.
