Vent hood cleaning is a critical part of maintaining your restaurant’s kitchen exhaust system. It reduces fire risks, and improves overall exhaust system performance. The service involves removing grease and grime from the kitchen hood, ducts, and fans, while adhering to NFPA 96 fire codes.
During the cleaning process, technicians turn off power to the exhaust fan. They then dismantle the exhaust fan by loosening and removing screws, bolts, and wires. They then clean the fan housing, fan blades, and motor. They also remove and wash the filters and grease traps. Then they scrub the hood and rinse it with hot water.

Next, technicians inspect the duct for any blockages and debris that may hinder airflow or lead to major damage. They use a brush, vacuum, or rod to clear these obstructions. They also check for any holes, cracks, or loose connections that need to be repaired or replaced before reassembling the exhaust system.
Finally, a final inspection takes place to ensure that the entire system has been cleaned. Then, a food-grade polish is applied to make future cleaning easier and more effective. Finally, a certificate with the name of the company, the name of the person who performed the work, and the date of cleaning is posted on each hood cleaned.
If you want to find a reputable hood cleaning service, ask for references from previous customers and read online reviews of the company. This will help you avoid companies that are dishonest or don’t perform a thorough job.
