Hood Cleaning is the process of removing grease and other buildup from the hood, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan in a commercial kitchen. It’s important for several reasons, including reducing fire risk and improving air quality in the kitchen. But it’s also a requirement for most restaurants, and it can help prevent costly fines or even closures.

Besides looking unsightly, heavy grease deposits in restaurant ductwork are highly flammable. If neglected, the ductwork can be a major fire hazard that puts people’s lives at risk. In addition, clogged ducts can cause performance problems in the hood and exhaust system, reducing ventilation and creating unhealthy working conditions. Finally, greasy residues attract pests, including cockroaches and rats, which can make their way into kitchens through dirty ductwork.

A professional hood cleaning service will use the following methods to clean your restaurant’s exhaust system:

The first step is turning off the power supply to the fan and dismantling it. This allows technicians to access the motor and fan blades for cleaning. They’ll then loosen the clamps and screws to remove the fan assembly from the ductwork. Once the fan is removed, a thorough cleaning of the ductwork begins. This includes applying food safe caustic chemicals, using scrapers in extreme cases, and hot water pressure washing.

Depending on the type of cooking and the amount of grease, most kitchens need to have their hoods cleaned every month or quarterly. However, some facilities whose kitchens don’t generate as much grease can get by with cleaning their hoods once or twice per year.
