Commercial Refrigerator & Freezer Cleaning Services
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.

Do you service home refrigerators?
At this time we are servicing residential refrigerator cleanups on a case by case basis. We understand the frustrations of dealing with these type of situations at home. The good news is that residential incidents are much easier to contain than public business premises. If you're dealing with reoccurring home odors as a result of rotten meat, or looking for tips on how to prevent this situation, our crew has some tips for you below. If these tips do not apply to your situation, please feel free to give our hotline a call.
We have dedicated teams to efficiently respond to these situations. To get the fastest response and ensure your inquiry is not lost, please do NOT state this situation as an emergency when you call.
Sometimes, the condition of the fridge or freezer is such that the appliance is no longer usable. In this case, you will need to get rid of the appliance and the rotten food that was left inside. If you have a home refrigerator in this situation right now, we recommend:
- Removing the rotten food and throwing it out in a separate garbage bag
- Removing the refrigerator or freezer and recycling it
- Sanitizing your home

Thomas Gray2024-07-06I contracted the services of BioRecovery for a Biohazard clean-up in my home. From Alex, the lead on the cleanup team, to Jessica, who coordinated with the insurance company, everything was done top-notch. The team worked clean and quickly to remove all the damaged property and Jessica was instrumental in getting my insurance company to cover the replacement of the items which were damaged. Just as important, as promised, they accomplished everything within the financial limits set by my insurance company. There were no additional bills. This is the company to use, if you are ever in need of a biohazard clean-up.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Jysseca Gohn2024-05-30The technician, Justin Penn, was helpful, polite and respectful.
