Clorox® Professional Cleaners & Degreasers Offer the Foodservice Industry a New and Innovative Line of Products to Cut Through Tough Grease

OAKLAND, Calif., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Removing grease build-up is time intensive, arduous and is one of the biggest issues facing restaurant owners and kitchen managers.  Grease formation is unavoidable yet the smallest grease mess can increase the risk of fire or create slippery floors for employees.  In fact, slips and falls are the No. 1 accident in the foodservice industry, accounting for 57 percent of all general liability claims[1].
