Protect Your License and Your Reputation
Health Code Compliance Support
Austin restaurants are inspected by Austin Public Health under the Texas Food Establishment Rules. A clean score protects your reputation, your license, and your customers.
Our cleaning process is built to support your compliance:
- Surface sanitization that meets food-contact surface standards
- Grease and buildup removal in the areas inspectors check most closely: hoods, floors, coolers, and prep areas
- Restroom cleaning that addresses the hygiene standards required for public-facing facilities
- Cleaning logs we can provide to document your ongoing sanitation practices
Whether you need a dedicated daily cleaning team or periodic deep cleans to keep your facility inspection-ready, we build the program around your operation.
Inspection-Ready Cleaning
Many of our restaurant clients schedule a deep clean the week before a scheduled inspection. Our process targets the areas inspectors examine most closely.
The Personal Castles Difference
Why Austin Restaurants Choose Personal Castles
After-Hours Service, Zero Disruption
We clean when you're closed. Whether that's after the last table clears at midnight or before your morning prep crew arrives, our teams work on your schedule.
Background-Checked, Hand-Picked Teams
Every cleaner is vetted, trained, and accountable. In a restaurant where cash registers, inventory, and expensive equipment are on the line, trust isn't optional. We earn it through referral-based hiring and 34 years of owner-operated accountability.
Built for Austin's Restaurant Scene
Austin's food industry doesn't slow down. Between SXSW, ACL Fest, F1 weekend, and the everyday hustle of a city that lives to eat out, your restaurant needs a cleaning partner that can keep up. We've worked with spots across East 6th, South Congress, the Domain, and downtown.
Flexible Recurring Plans — Weekly, Bi-Weekly, or Custom Schedules
Most of our restaurant clients are on a recurring weekly or bi-weekly schedule. We also handle one-time deep cleans for new openings, post-renovation, or inspection prep.

We provide free on-site consultations so you get a quote based on your actual layout and needs.
