Vent Hood Cleaning – What You Need to Know
Keeping your vent hood clean is essential to your kitchen operation. It reduces dangerous particle emissions that could harm employees, customers, or visitors to your restaurant. It also helps you stay in compliance with health and safety regulations. Ultimately, it saves you money on costly repairs, downtime, and energy costs.
The first step is to shut off the power to the exhaust system. This ensures that the technician can access the entire system safely and prevents any damage or splatter during cleaning. The technicians then remove the baffle filters and prepare funnels to collect grease and debris. They may also cover nearby appliances and the floor to avoid any grease splatter during the cleaning process. The hoods are then cleaned with a degreaser chemical and rinsed with hot water. The hood fans are power washed as well.
How Hood Safe LLC Helps Prevent Kitchen Fires with Professional Cleaning
After the hood is completely clean, the Hood Safe LLC team wipes down and mops all areas in the kitchen that have been affected by the cleaning process. They then polish the outside of the hood and clean all removable grease traps, as well as the interior of the ductwork and exhaust fan. The service report shows the date, time, and location of each hood cleaned, and the hoods are turned back on to verify they are in working order.
