Our Process for Kitchen Exhuast Hood Cleaning
Of course, our process will vary based on the needs of each individual kitchen. You can leave it up to our highly trained experts to determine which process is best for your system.
Exhaust fan (roof mount): We will determine how to safely access the fan. If the proper hinge system is installed, we will inspect and/or clean the fan blades, bowl and housing. We will also do a precheck of the roof surrounding the fan. If the grease has made its way on to the roof, we will determine if it can be cleaned or not.
What you should know
- If your system has not been cleaned recently or regularly, it may take more than one cleaning to bring the system to bare metal.
- If you do not regularly maintain your system, your grease containment system may overflow which may cause significant issues such as premature roof decay and damage that can occur from rooftop grease. These damages can be irreversible in some cases or costly to repair. Grease is acidic and may absorb into some roofing structures such as rubber membrane roofing material.

NFPA #96 Frequency requirements
Monthly
For kitchens with heavy grease-producing equipment (such as commercial kitchens with woks or charbroilers), exhaust systems should be cleaned monthly. This high frequency is essential to prevent grease build-up, which can lead to fire hazards.
Quarterly
Restaurants with moderate grease production, like those using fryers and grills, typically require cleaning every three months. This helps to maintain safe ventilation and prevents grease from accumulating excessively in the ducts and hoods.
Semi-annually
Semi-annual cleaning is suitable for establishments with light cooking operations, such as those focusing on baking or low-heat cooking methods. This interval ensures that the system remains clean without excessive build-up while following NFPA 96 guidelines.
Annually
For kitchens with minimal grease production or lighter cooking activities, an annual cleaning may suffice. However, it’s essential to evaluate the system regularly to ensure compliance with fire safety regulations and prevent any grease accumulation that could pose a risk.
