Hood Cleaning is the process of thoroughly cleaning a restaurant’s kitchen exhaust system, including the hood, filters, and ductwork. Over time, grease and other cooking byproducts accumulate in these systems, posing serious fire hazards if left unattended. A comprehensive professional cleaning and maintenance program optimizes kitchen performance, reduces fire risks, and contributes to a safer and healthier cooking environment.

The Hidden Dangers of Neglecting Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning is a crucial service that every commercial kitchen must undertake on a regular basis. It is also a critical requirement to maintain NFPA 96 compliance. Incorrect or incomplete cleaning can lead to costly fines and closure. It is important to choose a reputable company that employs qualified and experienced technicians and utilizes high-quality, professional-grade cleaning materials.

NFPA 96 requires that kitchens have their exhaust systems cleaned at least once per year or as needed, depending on frequency of use. During the cleaning process, the kitchen will be shut down and all cooking equipment will be covered with plastic to protect it from the chemical solutions and water pressure used during the cleaning. The hood vent and fans will be removed to allow for cleaning of all components in and around the exhaust system. The cleaning crew will then work from the top down, beginning with the exhaust fan roof or cover and then the hood itself. The filters will be placed in a solution to soak, and the exhaust fan shaft and ductwork will be manually scraped and rinsed.
