Commercial hood cleaning is the process of removing grease from commercial hood, exhaust, & fans.
Commercial hood cleaning should be routine maintenance for any commercial kitchen to decrease the likelihood of devastating fires and to meet health and sanitation codes.
Hood cleaning recommendations are based on usage and types of food being prepared. Kitchens open 7 days a week required to be cleaned every 3 months. Kitchens open 3-5 days a week are required to be cleaned every 6 months.
Not cleaning your commercial kitchen hood could decrease performance, including less efficient exhaust fans, which will result in increased smoke and heat in the kitchen. Hazards include loss of life, property, revenue to your business, as well as surrounding businesses. Health inspectors inspect the cleanliness of kitchens and improperly maintained kitchen equipment will result in low health sanitation grades.
Hood cleaning involves using high end specialized equipment and custom made cleaners/degreasers to achieve a top notch result.
An unmaintained hood will require an initial deep cleaning followed by regular routine maintenance. Initial deep cleaning can take 4-8 hours and routine maintenance can be 3-4 hours. Each hood and kitchen is different and has different needs so all of our pricing is customized and based on individual needs and preferences.
A professional hood cleaning report is required by the state and can be required by compliance engine reporting agency depending on your county and/or city regulations. We go an extra step and provide before and after pictures to our customers to let them see what quality work has been done.
