The Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning in any commercial restaurant catches smoke, heat and grease and vents it outside. Unfortunately, over time this system can become clogged with grease. When this happens, it can pose a fire risk and reduce efficiency. That’s why it’s important for restaurants to regularly have their kitchen exhaust cleaned. The process involves cleaning the hood, filters and exhaust fan. It can take a professional anywhere from 3 to 6 hours to clean an entire kitchen exhaust system. This regular cleaning process helps restaurants comply with local regulations, minimizes fire risks and contributes to a healthier cooking environment.
Boost Kitchen Efficiency with Professional Exhaust Cleaning
Grease accumulation is the leading cause of fires in restaurant kitchens, so NFPA Standard 96 requires the cleaning of kitchen exhaust systems to prevent this issue. Some health departments may even send out an inspector to report a violation, which requires compliance cleaning to bring the kitchen back up to code.
While there are several ways to clean a kitchen exhaust, the standard service is known as “cook top to roof top.” It starts by covering any equipment or surfaces not being cleaned with plastic sheeting to protect it from damage during the cleaning process. Then, the hood and filters are removed and soaked in a degreasing solution. The ductwork is scraped and chemically applied. After everything is rinsed, the crew will reinstall the filters and hood, sanitize the base, plenum area and exhaust fan and polish the canopy and backsplash. Once the job is complete, the plastic is removed and a new inspection sticker is placed on the hood.
