Hood Cleaning is a professional service that removes grease build up and other contaminants from restaurant exhaust systems. This helps prevent fires and smoke problems while keeping kitchens cleaner and up to code. Depending on cooking type, hood cleanings may be needed monthly or once a year.
Preparation: Before beginning a hood cleaning job, kitchen technicians usually inspect the system for any issues that might need to be addressed before attempting to clean the system. They also prepare themselves for the work by wearing protective clothing such as aprons, gloves, goggles, face shields and closed-toed shoes. Additionally, they cover any nearby appliances with fire-resistant tarps and plastic wraps to protect them from water damage or potential oil spills during the cleaning process.
The Importance of Exhaust Hood Cleaning for Food Safety
Blockages and debris are removed from the ductwork using a brush, vacuum, or scrapers. If needed, caustic chemicals are used to help break down grease and are applied using a sprayer, leaving them on the grease for a set amount of time before they are rinsed off with hot water from a pressure washer. Hood cleaning professionals always use food-safe chemicals and follow specific regulations throughout the cleaning process.
The underside of the hood is cleaned with a scrubbing brush and appropriate cleaning solution. This can be a difficult area to reach, but it is very important for proper hood maintenance.
The plenum area and the section of the duct behind the hood filters is also cleaned during this step. This is a very important part of the cleaning because it is often ignored by non-professionals, because it is hidden from view and can be hard to get to with standard equipment.
