Kitchen Hood Cleaning Done Right

Restaurant exhaust systems and hoods are designed to remove smoke, fumes and grease from the air, but if left uncleaned, grease build-up can clog ducts, fans, vents and filters. This can be a significant fire hazard for commercial kitchens. While the restaurant hood itself is stainless steel and therefore non-flammable, the fan, ductwork and vents are all highly flammable.

Kitchen fires can be quick and devastating to restaurants, causing costly downtime. Typically, fire suppression systems will activate when they sense a fire and shut off cooking equipment, fuel powering the fire, and the fans to decrease its spread. However, if the hood is full of grease when the system is activated, the fire can still spread rapidly and cause extensive damage before it’s put out. Regular hood cleaning and a fire suppression system can prevent these fires from starting in the first place.

Ensure Code Compliance With Professional Hood Cleaning

A clean, functional kitchen is essential to the success of your business. Ensure your hood and exhaust system is safe, working properly, and compliant with all regulations by hiring professional kitchen hood cleaners.

Before starting to clean the hood, cut off all electricity to it. This will keep you from getting electrocuted if the hood’s parts get wet while cleaning. Next, you should remove the fan blades. This can be done by removing the blade cover and then drilling each of the fan’s blades out. After soaking the fan blades in a sink of hot soapy water, rinse and allow them to dry completely before reattaching them to your hood.
