The hood, exhaust fan and all components of a commercial kitchen’s exhaust system need to be cleaned regularly to prevent grease accumulation. This is essential to reduce fire hazards and optimize the performance of the system. While you can find cheaper hood cleaning services, these typically do not adhere to national food safety and fire protection guidelines and may only clean visible parts of the exhaust system.

 Platinum Kitchen Cleaning Solutions will provide a thorough inspection of the entire system before beginning the process of eliminating grease. This includes the hood itself, as well as the ductwork, fans and vents. The service will also use food-safe caustic chemicals and hot water pressure washing to remove all grease deposits and stains, adhering to strict guidelines throughout the process.

The Health Benefits of a Clean Kitchen Hood System

When hiring a professional hood cleaner, make sure to choose one who is certified and experienced with working with NFPA 96 regulations. In addition to ensuring that the system is fully cleaned, these professionals will ensure all necessary repairs are made and document all work completed. The NFPA certification sticker will be posted in the kitchen to demonstrate that the system has been cleaned and is in compliance with health and safety codes.

During a typical cleaning, the service technician will first turn off all cooking equipment and disconnect it from power sources where possible. They will then lay down plastic sheeting or drop cloths to protect surfaces and equipment from the cleaning solution. They will then remove filters and grease traps from the hood, as well as other removable items. The hood and the rest of the exhaust system will be sprayed with degreaser chemicals and allowed to dwell for a set amount of time before being washed off with hot water and pressure.
