The unsung hero of the kitchen, your exhaust system, plays a vital role in keeping your restaurant safe and up to code. Commercial Kitchen Cleaning system removes heat, smoke, and airborne grease from the kitchen, improving air quality in the dining area for your patrons. Moreover, it prevents fire by eliminating extremely flammable grease deposits from the system. However, to perform its function properly, it needs regular cleaning.
Regular kitchen exhaust cleaning is a non-negotiable part of maintaining your business. Grease and debris buildup in the exhaust system is one of the leading causes of commercial kitchen fires. In addition, the flammable deposits are a health hazard for anyone working in your kitchen.
The Science Behind Effective Hood Cleaning Techniques
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), professional cleaning must be performed by a certified company at least twice per year. During this time, the technician will inspect and clean the entire system, including the hood, filters, fan, and ductwork. This process typically takes on average 3-4 hours to complete.
Before the cleaning begins, the technician will cover all cooking equipment and sensitive surfaces with tarps to protect them from water and chemical splashes. The hood will be removed and the filters soaked in a degreaser solution. The ductwork will be manually scraped and sprayed with food-safe chemicals. After the chemical has had an opportunity to break down the grease, it will be rinsed with hot water and the exhaust fan reinstalled.
The cleaned components are then inspected to ensure that no area has been missed. Once the system is thoroughly cleaned, a thorough report and recommendations will be provided.
