Equipment Scrub Brushes
At servu-online you will find equipment brushes and scrub brushes for your restaurant or bar. Reduce the risk of cross-contamination in your restaurant kitchen by using Carlisle’s Spectrum® color coded kitchen brushes. These kitchen brushes are color coded so that kitchen staff can segregate brushes by task or work zone. These ergonomically shaped plastic handled brushes feature crimped polyester bristles that are rugged and will not absorb food oils or moisture.

When looking to buy a Pizza Oven Brush you have two choices in bristles, Carbon Steel or Brass. Both provide a high degree of abrasion, but they are both very different. Carbon Steel can rust over time, but is wear resistant and has a good bend recovery. You should use Carbon Steel brushes on grills and equipment that gets heavily soiled. Brass wire brushes will not rust, and are softer than carbon steel, meaning it is less likely to heavily scratch your equipment surfaces as carbon steel would. You should use Brass bristles on ovens, griddles and other equipment that cannot have heavy scratches on it. The primary drawback of brass bristles is that the brush will need to be replaced sooner than a brush made from carbon steel.

Pastry and Basting Brushes are available with Boar or Nylon bristles. Boar bristles are excellent for high heat basting. They withstand temperatures up to 500°F, that's 150°F higher of a threshold than nylon brushes. Boar bristles also are naturally tapered and have split ends which allow them to hold more butter, glaze or sauce.

Use one of Serv-U's Coffee Decanter Brushes, to clean your decanters quickly. Made with Polyester bristles, a coffee decanter brush is chemical resistant and has great bend recovery and tear/break strength.

For griddle cleaning, Serv-U sells griddle bricks, griddle Screens and griddle Pads. To clean your griddle, use a griddle scraper to remove any excess food. Next, use a griddle brick to scrape off cooked-on food. (Apply a small amount of oil to the griddle to make this task easier.) Next, use a griddle screen on your griddle. When using a griddle screen, place a griddle pan on top of the griddle screen to leave the screen unclogged. Finally, use the griddle pad by itself to polish the griddle.

The following list defines the bristle-types of several kitchen brushes sold at Serv-U:

Palmyra - Medium stiff fibers that come from a palm tree. They are good for sweeping brushing woks and Japanese Electric Griddles.

Nylon - Chemical and abrasion resistant. Able to sustain temperatures of up to 350°F, brushes with these bristles would be a great for abrasive, rough use.

Teflon - Has excellent heat resistance (500°F), abrasion resistance and shear tear/breaking strength. Teflon has very good chemical resistance and bend recovery. Use a Teflon-bristled kitchen brush when cleaning equipment that is still hot.

Carbon Steel - Will rust over time, but is wear resistant and has a good bend recovery. You should use carbon steel brushes on grills and equipment that gets heavily soiled.

Stainless Steel - Has similar properties as those of carbon steel, but is rust proof. With excellent chemical resistance and bend recovery, on top of its high degree of abrasion and wear resistance, stainless steel brushes should be used for aggressive cleaning on grills and other heavily soiled equipment that can get scratched up.

Brass - Will not rust, and is softer than carbon steel, meaning it is less likely to heavily scratch your equipment surfaces as carbon steel would. You should use Brass bristles on ovens, griddles and other equipment that cannot have heavy scratches on it. The primary drawback of brass bristles is that the brush will need to be replaced sooner than a brush made from carbon steel.

Choose from commercial equipment brushes, utility brushes, oven scrub brushes, broiler scrub brushes, griddle scrub brushes and many other commercial equipment brushes.

Indoor & Outdoors Smoking Urns
At servu-online you will find indoor smoking urns and outdoor smoking urns for your restaurant or bar. No one enjoys a restaurant or bar with cigarette butts littered among the landscaping or on the sidewalk. With the increasing number of city and state governments making it illegal to smoke inside any public facility, smokers must go outdoors to smoke. To help keep your restaurant or bar looking nice, Serv-U offers a wide variety of smoking urns. If you do not have a lot of space outside of your restaurant's entrance, install a wall urn or smoking post. These urns might seem small, but indeed they are your solution to maintaining a waste-free exterior to your restaurant or bar. Serv-U also sells smoker's posts and the smoker's oasis. These low profile smoking urns will just be noticeable enough for your smoking patrons to extinguish their cigarettes before entering your restaurant or bar. Serv-U also has several smoking urns that can be placed indoors and outdoors. We have plastic smoker's posts that come in a multitude of colors and classic floor sand urns with an optional trash can built into the smoking urn.

Look for outdoor trashcans that feature a built-in lock, securing it from high winds and theft.

Recycling is very important to Serv-U. For the environmentally conscious restaurant or bar owner, we sell recycle containers, can receptacles and can crushers for commercial applications. Our blue recycling containers made of a special resin so the color does not fade, and the container will not chip, peel, scratch, dent or crack.

Serv-U has many styles of restaurant waste receptacles to choose from. Look for specialty indoor trashcans such as wall huggers, step-on trash cans, rectangular waste baskets and trashcans that will fit into a corner. Don’t forget the lid! Choose from a normal flat-top lid, dome lids to prevent pests or odor problems, funnel lids for high volume applications, or swing and flip-top lids designed for hands free use. We also sell flatware retrievers, which use powerful magnets to prevent flatware from going into the trashcan.

Choose from step-on waste receptacles, wall hugger waste receptacles, round waste receptacles, rectangular waste receptacles and more.

Mops, Handles, Squeegees
At servu-online you will find commercial mops, mop handles and squeegees for your restaurant or bar. To determine the correct mop for the job, have a good understanding of all cleaning processes to choose the correct mop yarn, mop size and mop style to suit your needs.

Mops are used for a variety of cleaning jobs including damp mopping; wet mopping, floor stripping, floor finish application, disinfection, drying the floor, removing spills and flooding the floor. Different processes require different tools. When applying disinfectant, the floor should remain damp for 10 minutes to allow the disinfectant to have appropriate "kill time." Stripping your floors involves applying solution with the expectation that it will not dry immediately. Conversely, picking up spills calls for a dry floor surface upon completion of the task.

These jobs require different mop fibers. Mop yarns are comprised of a variety of fibers including cotton, polyester, rayon, string, acrylic and antimicrobial treated material. Yarns with greater amounts of twisting are better for rough surfaces. Acrylic and polyester fiber have high tensile strength, less linting and lower absorption. These are good choices for stripping floors, applying finish and general purpose applications. Cotton and rayon yarns offer maximum absorption and are preferred for floor drying and launder ability. Although cotton is the most economical fiber, it has natural oil, pectin, which must be rinsed out with warm, soapy water prior to achieving maximum absorption. This break-in period for your mp can be time consuming and costly. Rayon conversely achieves maximum absorption immediately. Today blended yarns are available that mix qualities of the different fiber types.

Choosing the style of mop -- either a looped end mop, cut end mop or tail banded mop -- may impact operator productivity. Tail banded mops offer a good spread for maximum floor coverage. Looped mops decrease linting and shedding. In many cases, launderable looped end mops are available. Cut end mops are the least expensive to purchase but have a shorter life expectancy and require a longer cleaning time.

Choose the mop that best meets your needs, realizing that the job task and labor costs should be influential factors in your final selection. Purchase a mop handle suitable for the type of mop you will be using. When purchasing a mop bucket choose one based up its capacity, and choose the mop wringer style that best suits your needs.

Choose from commercial dust mops, disposable commercial mops, wood mop handles, window squeegees and more.
