ExhaustCLEAN is a family-owned business that offers commercial hood cleaning services throughout North Carolina, from the Research Triangle to the Triad region. We are highly trained to serve customers in a diverse range of industries, including food service, institutional and industrial settings. If your operations involve a commercial kitchen, we are well-equipped to help.
Here’s why commercial kitchen hood cleaning is crucial for businesses:
When cooking occurs beneath an industrial hood, grease-laden vapors rise through the exhaust system. Over time, these vapors accumulate on the hood service, in the filters, ductwork and exhaust fans. The buildup creates an unsafe situation because grease is highly flammable and can ignite from a single spark or high heat.
Beyond compromising fire safety, dirty exhaust systems operate inefficiently — from restricted airflow to wear and tear on fans that work harder and consume more energy. Overall, kitchen hood cleaning for businesses ensures smooth operation and a more productive working environment.
Professional hood cleaning for commercial and industrial kitchens is critical for meeting local and national regulations. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 96 establishes clear requirements for commercial kitchen exhaust systems, including instructions on cleaning. These requirements are enforced by fire marshals and insurance companies.
Depending on your cooking volume and food type, your system may require cleaning quarterly, semiannually or annually. High-volume cooking with solid fuel may need even more frequent attention.
Failure to maintain a proper cleaning service for your kitchen exhaust system can result in failed health inspections, insurance policy violations and increased liability. Documentation of professional cleaning services provides crucial protection and demonstrates your commitment to health and safety standards.
Professional industrial exhaust system cleaning goes beyond what your kitchen staff may be able to accomplish in a single session. Certified cleaners understand, access and clean every component of your exhaust system, ensuring everything is properly reinstalled afterward.
With the help of specialized commercial-grade cleaning agents and professional-grade equipment, expert cleaners perform thorough work to break down hardened grease deposits and reach areas that are generally inaccessible to less-trained employees.
From the ductwork to the exhaust fan, a professional cleaning team can help support the longevity and performance of kitchen hoods for businesses.
With over 50 years of combined service and experience, ExhaustCLEAN has extensive knowledge of commercial kitchen hood cleaning, as well as comprehensive services for kitchen exhaust maintenance.
