Dallas law sets the floor: every 90 days. But "legal minimum" and "right for your kitchen" aren't always the same.
Signs you need it more often
- Slow drains or gurgling in the kitchen
- Foul odors near the trap or floor drains
- Grease visibly past the 25% mark (the industry's service trigger)
- High-volume frying, woks, or grills running all day
Typical schedules by kitchen type
| Kitchen type | Suggested interval |
|---|---|
| Café / light cooking | Every 90 days (legal minimum) |
| Full-service restaurant | Every 60–90 days |
| High-volume / fried food | Monthly |
| Food truck commissary | Monthly–quarterly by volume |
