Commercial Hood CLEANING

Cleaning Schedule Recommended

While many kitchen exhaust cleaning contractors tell their customers that a kitchen exhaust system must be CLEANED at specific periods of time, you must understand that there is no requirement within NFPA 96 identifying “scheduled cleaning.” Table 11.4 does, however, illustrate the Schedule for Inspection for Grease Buildup within a commercial ventilation system: 

  • Monthly: Solid Fuel Cooking Operations such as Wood or Charcoal.
  • Quarterly: High-Volume cooking such as 24-hour, char-broil, oriental.
  • Semi-annual: Moderate Volume cooking such as Schools, Independent restaurants (Mom & Pop’s).
  • Annually*: Low-Volume cooking such as Churches, day camps, senior centers.

 

*Some jurisdiction requires at 6 months intervals

Think an ok job was done but thought there would be more than one person working to get the job done much quicker. Also, thought that starting at 6 am we would have time for everything to be done so we could open at 11 but things were a little delayed. Used to have it cleaned on Sunday’s and that worked much better for us.

I am a skilled professional that works for a Elite Hood Service LLC company. I recently completed a job that involved cleaning a pizza oven, hood, and performing a fire suppression inspection. The pizza oven was a large, commercial-grade oven that had been used for years without proper maintenance. It was covered in grease, grime, and food residue, and it had become difficult to clean. To clean the oven, I used a combination of high-pressure water jets, scrub brushes, and specialized cleaning agents. I worked carefully to avoid damaging the oven's surface and to ensure that all of the grease and residue were removed. It took several hours to complete the cleaning process, but the oven looked like new again. Next, I moved on to the hood. The hood was a large, metal unit that was used to vent smoke and fumes from the pizza oven. It had become clogged with grease and food residue, and it was difficult to clean.
