Top Signs Your Kitchen Exhaust System Needs Cleaning

The process of hood cleaning involves removing all grease and debris from the kitchen hood, filters, exhaust fan and ductwork. The entire process typically takes a professional company from 3 to 6 hours and is done on an ongoing basis by companies that specialize in commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning services. A reputable company will have insurance, references and is certified as a professional hood cleaning service.

During the cleaning process, all pilot lights and gas valves must be turned off to avoid damaging equipment. The hood is then wrapped and protected with plastic bags to funnel chemicals, grease, and steam runoff into containers. Next, the filters are removed and soaked for a couple of hours to loosen hardened grease. Once the filters are cleaned, the hood and ductwork are degreased and washed with food-grade cleaner. Ducts are brushed, rinsed and pressure washed to remove any remaining grease and debris. After the cleaning process, the hood and filters are reinstalled, wiped down and polished. A certification sticker is applied to show the hood cleaning service has completed the task and that the restaurant is compliant.
