Feeling drained



Let's admit it, nobody really likes to think about drains.  Oh sure, we're all glad that we have drains in our life.  Nobody is saying get rid of drains.  But to think about them is kind of nasty.

To help keep your establishment pest free, not only do you need to think about your drains, and clean your drains, but I would recommend that you periodically feel your drains.  You should actually get down and put your gloved hand inside each drain and feel around.  It will give you insight into all the potential problems that your drains can cause your entire restaurant.

In the above pictures, these drains actually look pretty good sanitation wise. There is a little build up of gunk, etc., but not too much.  But in the bottom picture, you can see that a dirty rag.  How did it get there?  When will it be taken out?  How long until flies start using it as an ideal breeding site?

By getting down and reaching in to the drain you can remove the rag and remove a host of other potential problems.
