We specialize in sanitizing and disinfecting commercial biohazardous refrigerators and freezers in event of a recent power outage or rotten meat contamination. Give us a call for immediate, discrete, 24/7 help near you.
Please note that insurance may or may not cover these situations. If insurance does not cover the cost, there is a $2,500 minimum. When you call, to dispatch your inquiry to the proper team, please do NOT state this situation as an emergency.
Hasn’t it happened to everyone at least once? Something has run afoul in the refrigerator, and the entire home kitchen smells like, we have to say it, an outhouse. Your first thought probably is: how do you get the rotten smell out of the refrigerator? When it's a commercial kitchen, you need to be thinking about your customers safety and the potential liability. When is it considered safe for your customers?
It's considered safe when a biohazard company like Bio Recovery issues a certification that the site has been properly and entirely treated. You might decide to do it yourself and find the source of the smell, remove it, and throw the culprit in the outside dumpster, but you can expect the smell to return. Don't open up the potential for your guests to get sick. Let us help you reduce that liability.
Why Does My Walk-In Refrigerator Need Professional Cleaning?
A commercial, walk-in, industrial fridge or freezer needs to be treated professionally when it has "failed" or it has been contaminated by rotten food. A failed refrigerator refers to when the unit has lost electricity, is unplugged, or has sat unattended for a lengthy amount of time. If you smell an odor, call us right away.
The odors inside indicate potentially dangerous:
- Spores
- Putrid food (even if some food does not show visible signs)
- Mildew
Now is the time for industrial strength cleaning, sanitization, and disinfection. Non-running fridges that are filled with food products eventually start to smell noxious. For situations like this, you are going to need a professional biohazard cleaning crew to help you.
Avoid the Liability, Hire the Pros
It is unethical and also a potential liability to ask your staff to take care of the situation. Even if you try to clean it yourself you're opening yourself up to get sick or unknowingly spreading the issue. Refrigerators in this shape are serious health hazards that should be taken care of by a trained company like Bio Recovery. As a nationwide licensed specialized cleanup company we are the only ones able to provide certification for you to continue operating safely once the site is properly treated.
