The latest from a National Cleaning Company

November 30, 2008 · Don Pfleiderer




1st three show the bad areas and the last picture show they actually tried to clean something.

This store was getting cleaning regularly by a National Cleaning company. It is located in the SE United States. They have already had a fire in years previously and here is how the system was getting left. You think someone would have known better. They had been trusting the National Cleaning company. It was cleaned not more that a few weeks prior. These is the same outfit as some previous posts in other parts of the country. I had just talked to the person in charge of the National Company's quality control about all the problems I have been finding at a meeting earlier this month.  He claimed they have no quality control issues and walked away from me. They are a certified company. It is only a matter of time before someone calls them on their work and holds them accountable(Other than me) although I think that has already started from what I have been hearing. The pictures are pretty self explanatory on why these stores have been having fire and exhaust problems. Of the stores we have already surveyed, every one of them has had at least one grease exhaust fire and there were several different companies cleaning them. The chain had contacted us after a bad grease exhaust fire in the South Central US. (see previous posts). I have some pictures from some of their stores that are getting properly cleaned in the Northern US. I will post them separate.
