Scarborough is a vibrant, family-oriented district filled with large, detached homes, many of which house multi-generational families. A unique and highly desirable feature in many Scarborough and East Markham homes is the “Spice Kitchen” or secondary basement kitchen—a dedicated space for heavy, high-heat cooking, deep-frying, and aromatic meal prep.
While these kitchens are amazing for family gatherings, they are a nightmare when it is time to move out.
Years of wok-cooking and high-heat frying create vaporized grease that settles onto the ceiling, coats the wooden cabinets, and completely blocks the exhaust vents. If you leave a sticky, grease-coated kitchen behind, a landlord will immediately withhold your deposit, or a buyer will demand a closing-day discount. You cannot wipe this away with dish soap; you need heavy-duty house move out cleaning in Scarborough.
Conquering Polymerized Grease When cooking oil sits on a cabinet for months, it oxidizes and turns into a sticky, plastic-like resin (polymerized grease). Standard sprays will simply slide right off it.
- Commercial Alkaline Degreasing: Our move-out teams utilize heavy-duty, wood-safe alkaline degreasers. We let the solution dwell on the cabinets and backsplashes to safely break the chemical bond of the resin, allowing us to wipe away the thick yellow grease without stripping the wood veneer.
- Range Hood & Exhaust Extraction: We dismantle the metal baffles and mesh filters of the range hood, soaking them in commercial degreasing baths. We also scrub the immediate area around the exhaust to ensure no fire hazards or sticky residues remain for the next family.
Neutralizing Cooking Odors We don’t just remove the physical grease; we neutralize the lingering scent of heavy spices embedded in the home’s drywall and flooring, giving the house a neutral, fresh start.
Don’t let heavy kitchen grease cost you your deposit. [Book your specialized Scarborough Move-Out Deep Clean with My Canada Cleaning today.]
