Undercounter fridges and freezers get dirtier faster because they live at floor level and under busy prep or bar counters. Prioritise:
Front vents and kick-plate area: Keep air paths clear. Grease and dust here can reduce cooling efficiency.
Floor and underside: Clean the floor around the unit edges and underneath where possible. Spills often run under the cabinet.
Door gaskets: Wipe weekly with mild detergent, then dry. Check for splits, sticky residue, or gaps that can cause temperature issues.
Handles and touch points: Sanitise frequently during service.
Drain/spill management: If you see pooling water or recurring odours, investigate quickly and clean thoroughly.
Practical tip: add an undercounter unit check to your closing routine. A 2-minute wipe and vent check prevents most service calls caused by blocked airflow and grime build-up.
