Kitchen Deep Cleaning Service in San Francisco

The kitchen is the hardest-working room in any San Francisco home — and the hardest to keep truly clean. Grease migrates from the stovetop to the backsplash to the cabinet fronts. Baked-on residue accumulates inside the oven. The refrigerator collects spills in every corner. And the range hood filter, if it has not been cleaned in months, is doing very little to protect your kitchen air. A professional kitchen deep cleaning service in San Francisco addresses all of this systematically — with the right degreasers, the right tools, and the attention to detail that a DIY clean rarely achieves.

Green Planet Cleaning Services includes a comprehensive kitchen deep clean as part of every whole-home deep cleaning service. We use eco-friendly degreasers from Seventh Generation and Method, HEPA-filtered vacuums for crumbs and debris, and color-coded microfiber cloths to prevent cross-contamination between surfaces.

What Is Included in a Kitchen Deep Clean?

Our kitchen deep cleaning service covers every surface, appliance, and storage area in your San Francisco kitchen:

Cabinets and Drawers

Inside and outside all cabinets and drawers — emptied by the client before the appointment. Cabinet fronts are degreased and wiped, handles cleaned, and interiors wiped with a food-safe cleaner. This is the area most commonly skipped by regular cleaning services and the one that accumulates the most grease and residue over time.

Oven

Inside oven cleaning including oven walls, floor, racks, and door glass. We use a non-toxic oven cleaner that cuts through baked-on grease without harsh fumes. Oven racks are removed and cleaned separately. The oven door glass is cleaned inside and out.

Refrigerator

Inside refrigerator cleaning including all shelves, drawers, door seals, and walls. The refrigerator should be emptied by the client before the appointment. We clean every surface with a food-safe cleaner and wipe dry to prevent moisture buildup.

Stovetop and Burners

Stovetop, burners, drip pans, and grates are all removed and cleaned individually. Baked-on grease is treated with a non-toxic degreaser and scrubbed clean. The stovetop surface is wiped down and polished.

Backsplash and Countertops

The backsplash is degreased and wiped with a product appropriate for the material (tile, stone, glass, or stainless steel). Countertops are cleaned and sanitized with a food-safe product.

Sink and Fixtures

Sink basin scrubbed and sanitized, faucet and handles polished, drain area cleaned.

Microwave

Interior walls, ceiling, and floor of the microwave cleaned. Turntable removed and washed. Exterior wiped down.

Hood Vent

Hood vent exterior wiped and degreased. Filter cleaning is available as an add-on for filters that can be safely removed and cleaned.

Eco-Friendly Products We Use

All kitchen cleaning products used by Green Planet are non-toxic, plant-based, and safe for food-contact surfaces. We use Seventh Generation dish soap and all-purpose cleaner, Method degreaser for heavy grease, and food-safe sanitizing spray for countertops and cutting board areas. We never use bleach or harsh chemical degreasers that leave residue on food-contact surfaces.

How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Kitchen?

For a San Francisco home with regular cooking, a kitchen deep clean is recommended once or twice a year. If you cook frequently — especially high-heat cooking that generates grease — quarterly kitchen deep cleaning keeps grease from building up to the point where it requires significantly more time and effort to remove.

Between deep cleans, regular weekly or biweekly cleaning maintains surfaces. But regular cleaning does not go inside cabinets, inside appliances, or scrub grout — which is why the periodic deep clean is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to empty my cabinets before a kitchen deep clean?

Yes. For inside-cabinet cleaning, cabinets and drawers should be emptied before the appointment. This allows our team to clean every interior surface thoroughly. We wipe and dry all surfaces before you replace your items.

Do you clean inside the oven?

Yes. Inside-oven cleaning is included in our standard kitchen deep clean — including oven walls, floor, racks, and door glass. We use a non-toxic oven cleaner safe for all oven types.

How long does a kitchen deep clean take?

A kitchen deep clean as part of a whole-home deep clean typically takes 1.5–2.5 hours depending on kitchen size and condition. Heavily soiled kitchens with significant grease buildup may take longer.

Can I book a kitchen-only deep clean?

Our standard service is a whole-home deep clean. For kitchen-only cleaning, please contact us to discuss your specific needs and we will provide a custom quote.

Are your kitchen cleaning products safe for granite and stone countertops?

Yes. We use pH-neutral cleaners on natural stone surfaces including granite, marble, and quartz. We never use acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus) on stone surfaces that can etch the finish.
