Request a Free EstimateKitchen deep cleaning is a top-to-bottom clean of the whole back of house: walls, ceilings, shelving, hard-to-reach corners, and behind and under equipment that never gets moved. ARC does this for Michigan kitchens preparing for an inspection, a reopening, a new owner, or a reset.
When a kitchen needs a deep clean
- Before a health or fire inspection — especially a re-inspection after a write-up
- Taking over a space: a new lease, a franchise change, a reopening after a closure
- After a busy season — summer patio season, the holidays, a big event run
- When the nightly cleaning has slipped and grease is showing up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment
- Before a sale, an appraisal or a landlord walk-through
- Seasonal or annual reset for kitchens that run all year

How a deep clean is scheduled
Most deep cleans happen overnight or across a closed day. A full kitchen is typically one overnight; a large one takes two. We sequence the work so the cook line is back together and ready before open, not still in pieces when your first cook walks in.
Recurring accounts often pair a quarterly hood cleaning with a semi-annual deep clean, so the kitchen never gets far enough behind to need a rescue job.
What Is Kitchen Deep Cleaning?
Kitchen deep cleaning is a complete, detailed cleaning of your entire kitchen—not just visible surfaces. We target grease, buildup, and hard-to-reach areas that are often missed during daily cleaning.
This service is ideal for:

What happens on service day
Walk-through and photos of every area, and we agree on scope before anyone starts.
Equipment is pulled from the walls; hood and exhaust are handled first if they're in scope.
Top down: ceilings, vents, fixtures and walls, then equipment, then shelving and prep.
Floors last: degreased, pressure-washed, drains cleared, mats washed, squeegeed dry.
Everything back in place, pilots lit, photos, sign-off. Your opening crew walks into a reset kitchen.
What you get when we leave
- Before-and-after photos of every area we cleaned
- Dated documentation of the work scope, ready for your inspection file
- A satisfaction sign-off from the person responsible for the kitchen
- A straight recommendation on how often this kitchen actually needs the service — not a schedule we're selling
- A cleaned-up work area: floors squeegeed, equipment moved back, nothing left for your opening crew to deal with
What affects the price
- Size of the kitchen and how many areas are in scope
- Condition — a kitchen that's been running hard for two years without a reset takes longer than an annual maintenance clean
- Whether the hood system is included or on its own schedule
- Overnight vs. closed-day access
- One-time reset vs. an annual or semi-annual plan
No mystery pricing. We look at the kitchen, put a real number on it, and the estimate is free.
Why kitchens choose a family crew over a franchise
- You talk to the people doing the work. Call ARC and you reach Andrew — not a call center or a dispatcher three states away.
- The owner's name is on every invoice, and every job ends with a satisfaction sign-off from the person responsible for your kitchen.
- Photo documentation on every visit. Before-and-after photos of what we cleaned, so you have proof on file for the fire marshal, the health inspector and your insurer.
- 100% satisfaction guarantee. If something was missed, tell us and we come back and make it right.
- 5% of every job is donated to charity. Family-owned, faith-based, licensed, bonded and insured.
