Industry Data: The CDC reports that contaminated ice has been linked to outbreaks of norovirus, Legionella, and other pathogens in commercial food service settings.— CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
Why Regular Ice Machine Cleaning Matters
Health inspectors pay close attention to ice machines, and for good reason. Dirty ice machines can harbor harmful bacteria, mold, and yeast that contaminate ice and pose a risk to public health. In Arizona, the combination of hard water and extreme heat accelerates the growth of these contaminants. Regular professional cleaning — at least once per year, and ideally every six months — is essential for food safety compliance and equipment longevity.
Industry Data: A study published in the Journal of Food Protection found that 33% of commercial ice machines tested positive for coliform bacteria, with mold present in over 50% of machines that had not been cleaned in 6 months.— Journal of Food Protection, Vol. 84
Our Cleaning Process
Our ice machine cleaning process is thorough and systematic. We begin by shutting down the machine and removing all ice. We then disassemble the key components, including the evaporator plate, water distribution tubes, and bin. Each component is cleaned with food-safe, manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions that dissolve mineral scale, remove mold and slime, and sanitize all surfaces. After cleaning, we reassemble the machine, run a sanitization cycle, and verify proper operation before leaving.
Industry Data: The Food and Drug Administration classifies ice as a food product, requiring ice machines to meet the same sanitation standards as other food-contact equipment under the FDA Food Code.— FDA Food Code 2022, Section 4-602.11
Industry Data: Arizona's hard water contains 15–25 grains per gallon of mineral content, compared to the national average of 3–7 grains, accelerating scale buildup inside ice machines by 3 to 4 times.— USGS Water Quality Data, Arizona
