Exhaust duct cleaning is important because it removes grease from the hood, vents, fans, and ductwork. The grease that accumulates in the hood and the other kitchen exhaust systems is flammable, and without regular cleaning, can cause fires in the restaurant. Those fires can shut down the kitchen, and are very expensive to put out.

The NFPA recommends that all restaurants keep their ventilation systems free from grease, and they can do this with regular hood cleaning. Those who don’t have the equipment or expertise to clean their own vents can hire professional services to do it for them. Those who do it themselves can use commercial degreasers or a rag soaked in undiluted vinegar to remove grease from surfaces. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which breaks down grease and removes it from the surface. It also does not corrode metals, and it doesn’t emit strong odors.

Protect Your Investment: The Long-Term Value of Hood Maintenance

A professional hood cleaner will remove grease from the hood, baffle filters, and the plenum area of the exhaust system. They will also remove the roof or wall mount fan and clean the base, shroud, and blades. They will also clean the ductwork from the fan to each of the hoods. The crew manager will inspect the entire system to make sure it is cleaned and reassembled properly.

Done Right crews clean every part of the system, including the ductwork and the hard-to-reach areas. Then, they provide a detailed report that lists the services they provided. They will also schedule your next cleaning based on NFPA 96 requirements and send one simple invoice for all of your locations.
