THE GREASE PROBLEM!

No one thinks about ending up in a hospital when they decide to go to dinner at the local eatery. But it happens more times than you might think. The culprit: GREASE! It seems the food we like to eat the most can't be produced without that by-product we call grease. The problem is, it doesn't stay in the food; it ends up on the floor. Restaurateurs, try as they may, just don't do a good job of cleaning the grease off their floors and the result: they get really slick, especially when a little water is spilled on them. People are walking along, and bingo! They fall.

SlipDoctors™, takes this problem seriously and they have multiple approaches to assisting restaurants with slippery floors. We sell a powerful degreasing agent that, when mixed with water, can be used to remove grease from the floors before someone falls, says Greg Cohen, co-owner of the Texas-based company. A good degreaser must emulsify the grease. If a cleaner-degreaser is used that contains soap, the problem will be compounded. And once the grease is removed, SlipDoctors™ can treat the floors to increase the slip-resistance of the surfaces themselves.

The grease problem must be viewed as two separate problems: the kitchen and the dining area. It is wise to begin by treating the kitchen first. This is where the grease problem begins and if the solution does not begin in the kitchen, the staff will track the grease into the dining room every time they walk from the kitchen to the other areas of the restaurant. Once the problem of the greasy buildup in the kitchen has been addressed, the dining area will be much safer. This is because the grease is not being tracked throughout the dining area by the staff. The dining area can also be cleaned with a degreasing agent appropriate for the type of floor installed in the dining room. SlipDoctors™ has products for all types of hard surface floors.
