Blockade to sanitation


This is a typical sight underneath a kitchen's appliances.  We see broccoli, snap peas, and other healthy choices, but also a lot of decaying organic food matter (DOFM) that has built up over time and is ideal for pests to feed and breed.  Also, notice how the steel coil forms a blockade above the crevice and literally blocks attempts to do deep cleaning.  This is a dream situation for flies, roaches, and rodents, and a nightmare for friends of clean kitchens everywhere.

One option is to see if the coil can be tied up a few inches above the floor.  A second idea is to dedicate an extra hour each week to have your team do a deep cleaning in these areas (that means get on your hands and knees, use a flash light and something abrasive to scrape everything out, and get the job done like your care about self-preservation).

These problems only get fixed on purpose.
