Grease arrestor cleaning usually means removing accumulated fats, oils, grease, and solids from a grease-control unit, then documenting service date, readings, volume, proof, and next due date.
Terminology changes, records do not
Whether a customer says arrestor, trap, or interceptor, the service record should identify the asset and show what work was completed.
Track frequency with actual service history
Cleaning frequency depends on food volume, unit size, solids load, local rules, and inspection expectations. Due dates should be visible before the customer calls.
Give the restaurant a usable record
A restaurant manager needs a clear answer during an inspection: when the unit was last serviced, what proof exists, and when the next service is due.
Grease trap FAQ
Is a grease arrestor the same as a grease trap?
Terms vary by region and vendor. Many people use grease arrestor to describe a device that separates FOG and solids from wastewater before discharge.
