Hood cleaners is the process of cleaning the exhaust fan, filters, and ductwork that commercial cooking establishments must perform to comply with health, fire and safety regulations. It is a complex task that typically takes from 3 to 6 hours and requires specialized equipment. It is important for kitchen staff to prepare ahead of time for hood cleaning, so they can be aware of what the process involves and what to expect. This will allow them to manage kitchen operations more effectively while allowing the service providers to concentrate on their work and speed up the cleaning process.

Before starting the actual cleaning, the technicians will cover all surfaces that cannot be exposed to grease and cleaning solution with fire-resistant tarps and plastic sheets. They will then start by spraying the degreaser chemical onto the hood, inside the ducting and exhaust fan, and let it sit for the required dwell time. Once the time is up, they will rinse off the hood and all ducting using hot water pressure washing machines. They will also wash the filters and grease trap tray (which would have already been soaking in the cleaning solution). Once the hood is clean, they will remove the plastic and any mess left behind from the chemicals, then wipe down all surfaces.

Consistent hood cleaning eliminates the sticky grease that increases fire risk and clogs the system, improving airflow. It also limits places where pests like roaches and rodents can hide, making it much harder for them to invade your business and cause problems.
