Restaurant Hood Cleaning Services by CrossFire

A commercial kitchen exhaust hood includes a fan on the roof that draws up smoke, steam, and particulate matter through the ductwork. This system prevents the kitchen from filling with smoke, maintaining a safe and clean environment. Over time, grease and particles accumulate in the system, necessitating regular cleaning to ensure proper ventilation.

Commercial kitchen hoods should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain safety and compliance with fire codes. The frequency of cleaning depends on usage and can range from monthly to quarterly. Specific guidelines are often provided by local authorities and NFPA standards.
