Hood cleaning is an essential part of a restaurant’s kitchen exhaust system maintenance. It removes flammable grease buildup and reduces fire hazards in the kitchen. It also helps to maintain proper airflow and improve ventilation. It helps to meet health and safety regulations and reduces wear and tear on fans and other components of the kitchen exhaust system, which in turn lowers maintenance costs over time.

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning owners are required to clean their commercial kitchens on a regular basis, including the vent hood and exhaust fan, ductwork, baffle filters, and roof grease containment systems. Professional hood cleaners use high-powered, hot water pressure washing to clean the surfaces of these appliances. Before cleaning, they protect the surrounding kitchen equipment and surfaces with plastic sheeting and a grease containment system. They also cover the floor with a protective mat or tarp to keep water and chemical runoff from spreading.

The Hidden Dangers of a Dirty Kitchen Exhaust System

Cleaning the hood involves degreasing, scraping, and sanitizing. Technicians also inspect the hood for any obstructions or blockages that might prevent the free flow of grease and vapors. They might remove the hood filters and inspect the baffles for any repairs that are needed.

After the hood and exhaust system are cleaned, technicians polish the hood to enhance its appearance and make it easier to clean. They also wipe down the kitchen walls, backsplashes, and other surfaces that appear soiled or dirty from the cleaning process. They return the kitchen to its normal operating conditions and give the restaurant owner a service report documenting their work.
