For Noam and Shmuel Sonnenberg, their work starts when the cleaning ends
Happy to help another Jew have a kosher kitchen for Pesach, Noam told her a little bit about what kashering entails, and told her to make sure not to use anything hot in the kitchen for 24 hours before the koshering team came down.

It’s more than just foil and boiling water.
