Hood cleaning is an essential component of a commercial kitchen’s hygiene and compliance. It’s also the most critical element to a restaurant’s safety, preventing fires and ensuring that cooking equipment is not exposed to dangerous fumes. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requires restaurants to clean their exhaust systems according to specific regulations. This includes the hood, vents, fans, and ductwork.

The process begins by covering kitchen equipment, dismantling the hood system, and deactivating the fan and pilot light, then spraying the grease laden surfaces with food safe chemicals, allowing a certain amount of dwell time, scrubbing, and rinsing. It’s vital to remove all traces of grease, even in hard-to-reach places. After the hood and removable parts are thoroughly cleaned, the technicians will test the system to ensure it is working properly, then reassemble the equipment, apply a protective coat of oil, and affix the mandatory hood inspection sticker.

Choosing a reliable hood cleaning company that is certified by the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA) to perform NFPA 96 inspections will ensure your kitchen remains compliant and reduces fire risks. It’s important to note that discount hood cleaning services often cut corners, not cleaning the entire system and leaving hidden areas unclean. This can be dangerous to your staff and customers. It can also result in costly fines and closures from non-compliant establishments. Professional hood cleaning is the only way to guarantee an optimum level of cleanliness and safety for your establishment.
