Hood Cleaning. 
our aim is to provide quality hood cleaning services to our clients.  Kitchen hood cleaning Process is not complicated for hood cleaning companies who been in business for while. Commercial, restaurant hood cleaning process requires physically strong and professionally trained technicians who fully understand step by step cleaning process and safety precaution. We do not believe in using excessive chemicals to cut down labor work. We believe in scraping most of the grease and using biodegradable chemicals to finish the job. If we there are inaccessible areas in kitchen duct we highly recommend that you  install high quality fire rated access panels [fire door, access door] as soon as possible to finish duct cleaning and have clean exhaust system.

Kitchen Hoods, fans, fan blades, ducts should be properly cleaned. After hood exhaust cleaning we apply high quality stainless steel polish coating to exhaust hood’s exterior. A grease free kitchen exhaust system is the key to fire safety. We highly recommend that you inspect your exhaust system periodically.  Catering businesses, catering trucks, school kitchens, hospital kitchens, and restaurants, we always recommend all to get timely basis cleaning to  keep kitchen clean and fire safe.
Types of Hood Cleaning: Dry Hood Cleaning And Steam Hood Cleaning.

Dry hood cleaning is cost effective. Very little water is used during dry cleaning. We turn off all the gas pilots’ lights and place ply wood over the appliances. We cover all the appliances, hood and surrounding kitchen area with thick plastic sheet. After removing the hood filters we scrape the grease from exhaust fan, duct work, plenum area. Many small businesses prefer this type of cleaning. For example, pizza hoods, catering trucks, mobile restaurant trucks.

Steam Cleaning is through cleaning of kitchen hood, duct and exhaust fan. In steam cleaning process after scraping the grease we apply chemicals and steam clean the entire hood from top to bottom. We may have to use more than one chemical application depending on the grease build up.  It requires additional helpers compare to dry cleaning. It requires at least one tech down stairs just to watch water flow when pressure washing the fan and ducts sections from top.

Note:Your appliances and surrounding kitchen area will be covered with plastic sheets and no mess will be  left behind.

Safety Tips:
Hood filters are the nose of your kitchen exhaust system make sure they are not clogged up or greasy. Clogged filters will restrict exhaust air flow operation which will raise kitchen temperature to very uncomfortable conditions. Always use good quality stain less steel filters and clean them on timely basis.

grease trap pans are located in the corner of hood. Usually they are left and right both sides of the hoods. Their purpose is to collect the grease and oil from exhaust system. When restaurant and commercial kitchens stop their exhaust hood fans after cooking, Grease and oil drips from hood fan, duct, plenum, filters and deposits in these pans. When these pans are filled, oil starts dripping over appliances and this can lead to fire. It happens at many commercial kitchens every year.
 Having your fire suppression system connected to alarm company is one of most important thing you could do as a manager or owner. In case of kitchen hood fire your alarm company will notify local fire department about fire incident. Not all of the fires are suppressed by fire suppression and this will be your biggest back up in such an event.  People spend a lot of money and energy to make their business, a small fee to your alarm monitoring company can offer you good night sleep and your insurance company will love you for that. Always have your hood cleaning and fire suppression serviced within six months. In case of kitchen fire your insurance provider may ask you two things: a copy of hood cleaning and fire suppression service invoices.
Fire Safety Training is highly recommended for your all employees.
Many employees do not know how to use a fire extinguisher and fire suppression in case of fire.
