Restaurant Hood Filter Cleaning

Having regular restaurant hood filter cleaning is an essential part of your restaurant maintenance, hygiene, and safety. Allowing grease to build up in your kitchen hood and exhaust system increases your chance of fire and puts you at risk of breaking compliance regulations.

Within the past couple of years, the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) has recorded that 43% of restaurant fires began due to cooking oils, grease, or food. Having your restaurant kitchen hood professionally cleaned ensures that the fans and exhaust systems are clear of grease buildup and don’t pose a fire hazard to your restaurant.

Our Exhaust Hood Cleaning Process

At RPW ProWash, we are proud to provide restaurants and other commercial establishments with premium kitchen hood and exhaust cleaning services. Our team follows a rigid cleaning process to ensure that your commercial kitchen hood is thoroughly cleaned and cleared of hazardous trapped grease.

Here Is Our 8-Step Hood & Duct Cleaning Process:

Protect Equipment– Our team will begin by covering kitchen equipment and surfaces that are within the splash range of your kitchen exhaust. This protects your kitchen equipment from damage and allows our kitchen hood cleaners to do their job without the risk of causing harm to other items in your commercial kitchen.
Clean Roof Fan Unit – Reducing the risk of restaurant fires doesn’t only involve cleaning your commercial kitchen hood. It is equally important to make sure that all of the connecting ductwork is clean to enable your kitchen hood to run optimally and reduce the risk of fires.

Our team of restaurant hood cleaners will begin by cleaning the ducts and exhaust system on the roof before moving on to cleaning the kitchen hood.

Heated Pressure Wash– The next step in our commercial Restaurant Hood Filter Cleaning service is to eliminate residual grease buildup. Our team does this by applying a heavy corrosive to the kitchen hood and then washing it with a heated pressure washer.

Our heated pressure wash is effective at removing residual grease and giving a renewed sheen to your kitchen hood.

Stainless Shining– After the heated pressure wash, our hood cleaning professionals will use a spray bottle, sponges, and rags to shine your restaurant kitchen hood. While this is an aesthetic step in our process, it is still worthwhile as it gives your commercial kitchen a professional look and clean feel.
Site Cleanup & Mop Up– We are committed to never leaving a job with loose ends untied.

After your kitchen hood has been cleaned and shined, we will then mop the kitchen floors and remove any garbage or cleaning debris from your commercial kitchen. We take pride in going above and beyond what is expected of a restaurant hood filter cleaning service.

Post-Service Report & Dashboard– When all the work is done, our cleaners will leave your commercial kitchen with an NFPA 96 sticker to let restaurant inspectors know that your restaurant hood has been professionally cleaned.

We can also deliver date and time-stamped photos of our work on your restaurant to let insurance companies know that you’re complying with restaurant regulations by having your kitchen hood professionally cleaned.

Survey & Recommendations– If you would like to have a restaurant hood cleaning professional inspect your kitchen’s exhaust systems, we’d be happy to visit your commercial kitchen.

Our team of technicians would be happy to survey your kitchen’s exhaust system, make repairs or replacements (if necessary), and give you recommendations on how to improve your restaurant’s exhaust system.

Exhaust Hood System Maintenance & Repair– After we have made improvement recommendations and surveyed your kitchen exhaust system, we can also provide you with maintenance and repair services.

Our trained technicians can replace or repair fan belts, panels, hinges, and filters for your kitchen hood and exhaust system.

Benefits of Having Your Restaurant Kitchen Hood Professionally Cleaned

Having a professional come and clean your restaurant kitchen hood and exhaust system routinely has six main benefits.

A clean restaurant hood reduces the risk of kitchen fires
Having your kitchen hood routinely cleaned improves kitchen hygiene
A clean exhaust system and kitchen hood ensure that your restaurant kitchen has improved air circulation
Having a professional service clean your kitchen hood ensures that you meet all of the restaurant regulations and safety protocols of a food-serving establishment
Professional kitchen exhaust cleaning reduces the likelihood of slips and falls caused by excess grease
Having your kitchen hood routinely cleaned and maintained saves you money and headache. It eliminates the risk of being slapped with a hefty fine by restaurant inspectors and keeps your kitchen hood in optimal condition — meaning it won’t need to be replaced for years to come.

Never Out of Sight | Consistently Delivering Safety According to Code

Whether you are a restaurant owner, casino manager, or food preparation facility manager, meeting industry standards and safety requirements is paramount.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has created certain regulations to ensure that establishments with in-use commercial kitchen facilities are minimizing the risk of fire and other hazards through routine, professional fan exhaust, and kitchen hood cleaning.

These standards require commercial kitchen facilities to regularly have a certified kitchen exhaust cleaner inspect and clean their kitchen’s ductwork, exhaust fan, and ensure that all systems are functioning properly and free from blockage.

Our team can help you maintain your commercial kitchen and meet industry safety standards through our in-depth commercial hood and exhaust fan cleaning services. We will provide you with a report as well as digital photos of before and after the cleaning so that you have these to keep on file for when restaurant inspectors come calling.
