We hear from our customers that it is important to them to have a complete and effective cleaning program in place so that they can focus on pampering their guests.
Cleaning programs deliver food safety through proper preparation procedures, keeping premises and dishware clean, or maximizing efficiency and product resources.
Swish is Canada’s source of quality cleaning supplies and equipment, which includes all the solutions and advice that kitchen facilities need to keep their space spotless and hygienic.
Restaurant Challenges
When doing a site assessment with restaurant owners, we focus on areas where they believe a change can bring the most positive impact to their business. For example, higher efficiency of dishwashing machines, lower energy consumption, and better cost-in-use. The most common challenges include:
- Needing a cleaning process with a single-source supplier for both the front-of-the-house and kitchen.
- Getting the required product on short notice.
- Limited time to maintain tables and floors during peak times.
- Reliability of dishwashers that may need to run upwards of 6-10 hours per day depending on traffic.
- Unexpected expenses if cleaning products are misused or not matched with the equipment.
- Managing energy use to control costs.
- Requiring frequent equipment repairs and maintenance.
Swish provides restaurant cleaning solutions.
Swish offer solutions that are easy to implement and maintain, equipment that is reliable, and purchasing programs that are simple, comprehensive and delivered on time. A few highlights include:

Preventative Maintenance Program
Your dish machine handles peak hours, and trouble-free operation is vital. You can significantly improve efficiency and minimize downtime by planning regular checkups and performing maintenance. That’s why Swish provides regular assessments with trained technicians who can spot potential issues ahead of time and provide the best chemical and usage advice to keep your solution running optimally.
Above and beyond the expert services, Swish offers a variety of equipment and chemical solutions, which include:
Dishwashers and Dishwashing Chemicals
As National Resources Canada states, washing or sanitizing dishes and glassware can account for 18% of a commercial kitchen’s energy costs. Swish offers innovative dishwashing machines that are Energy Star Rated, including under-counter, upright and glasswashers. We also stock sustainable and commercial-grade dishwashing detergents, rinse-aids and sanitizers. We recommend a free site survey to assess your kitchen's best solution.
Soaps and Sanitizers
Viruses and germs travel two ways – home to public areas and public areas to home. Preparing the food facility for visitors and employees involves cleaning procedures and educational resources to help make them feel safe. Touch-free systems and handwashing posters give visitors and employees the tools they need to maintain an optimal level of hand hygiene. We recommend offering your patrons Refresh® Clear Foam SOAP and Purell® Advanced Foam Hand Rub Sanitizer to avoid re-contamination.
Sanitization for high-touch surfaces
At the close of each day, thorough cleaning and disinfecting practices will help prevent germs from lingering on surfaces and spreading throughout other areas. Frequently touched surfaces – such as door handles, POS (point-of-sale) keypads, handrails and office or kitchen equipment – should be prioritized. Staff should focus on common areas such as eating booths, reception areas, and kitchen surfaces and use high-quality cleaning products and equipment.
Using spray and wipe disinfectant cleaners removes the guesswork and saves time. Products like Swish® Miracle™ Spray and Wipe or Enviro-Solutions® ES15 are suitable for food contact surfaces yet are effective disinfectants.
Oven cleaning
Dirty, poorly maintained ovens can present a fire hazard and other health issues for people in their vicinity. The same can be said of dirty grills with caked-on food deposits that harbour bacteria that can cause illness. ServClean® Oven and Grill Cleaner is designed for ovens, griddles, fryers, and hoods and is a heavy-duty degreaser for the busiest restaurants.
Matting
Tracked dirt and moisture can cause severe damage to restaurant flooring, resulting in costly restorations. Well-placed matting can significantly reduce floor damage and cleaning expenses. Installing a 3-mat system provides scraping, water absorption, and wiping to defend against dirt, grime and moisture.
