Typical Steps in Cleaning of Brick/Pizza Ovens done by the kitchen staff

Brick ovens require little cleaning outside of the normal cooking routines, typically a wipe down inside once the oven has cooled is sufficient
When food and debris falls onto the surface, it can be scraped or “baked” off. If the oven is wood-burning, simply place some hot, burning pieces onto the spill and the heat will burn it off. Follow with a brush to remove any debris, use caution anytime you are performing any type of cleaning in the oven cavity.
For gas burning ovens, a pizza peel can be used to scrape the debris off of the surface. If necessary a chef’s knife can be used to gently scrape the surface. Do not poke into the floor of the oven as it can damage the surface, use caution
Depending on the items cooked, grease can build up and form a patina on the surface. This should be scraped and washed away. Scraping involves the same procedures described above. To wash it away, dampen a cloth with water. Using a damp cloth, wrap the cloth around the head of the brush and push it along the floor of the oven to “mop” it.
The floor of the oven should be brushed nightly to maintain cleanliness.

Cleaning the Vertical Exhaust Riser

Exhaust risers (stacks) should be cleaned monthly to keep the oven operating safely.
Risers can develop a layer of creosote that will build up over time.
The cleaning process is similar to sweeping a chimney, but requires special knowledge and equipment when dealing with restaurant stacks because of the grease/food debris build-up that can occur within the chimney.
It is recommended that only a qualified personal complete this cleaning. Cleaning Resource Center has cleaned virtually every type of pizza oven exhaust system. If the creosote is not removed, it will contribute and lead to a chimney fire, and potentially causing catastrophic damage
