A Family Legacy in Kitchen Safety & Cleanliness
D Poole Commercial Kitchen Cleaning is a family tradition built on decades of protecting restaurants and food service operations across Michigan. The story began when David Poole worked alongside his father in their business, Poole Fire Equipment, supplying portable fire equipment and installing range guard liquid fire systems for commercial kitchens.
In the 1970s, the Poole family entered the restaurant ventilation industry. At that time, cleaning systems meant scraping and hand scrubbing ductwork, fans, and hoods. Seeing the limitations of this approach, David introduced steam cleaning and later advanced to hot water pressure cleaning systems. These innovations allowed for deeper, safer results while reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Innovation Driven by Customer Needs
As the company grew, David paid close attention to what restaurant owners and chefs needed most. Many operators struggled to find time to break down equipment for thorough cleaning after long shifts. To solve this, D Poole expanded into full equipment deep cleaning, handling the toughest tasks so kitchens could run smoothly and safely.
We also improved our processes with preventative measures such as draping and containment systems to control grease, water, and solvents during service. Every step forward has been driven by a desire to make life easier for our clients and raise the standard of kitchen safety.
Why Kitchen Cleanliness Matters
The state of your kitchen speaks louder than words. When customers see a spotless, well-maintained space, they feel confident in the food you serve and are more likely to return, recommend you to others, and bring new faces through your doors. But if they notice dirt or neglect, many won’t say anything to you directly – they simply won’t come back.
That’s why at D Poole, we approach every facility through the eyes of the customer. Our team delivers deep, detailed cleaning that protects your reputation, safeguards food safety, and creates a work environment where staff can feel proud and motivated.

Today, D Poole still provides commercial kitchen cleaning, preventative maintenance programs, and safety-focused solutions with advanced hot water pressure technology and eco-friendly methods. Our team stays committed to:
