Delavan Restaurant Hood Cleaning is essential and mandatory in the state of Illinois
Grime fires start at on or in the actual ovens and progress up straight into a greasy exhaust hood, or even start in your hood or ducting itself. When serious, a fire may result in loss of your small business as well as loss of life! A small-scale hood fire can cause a lot of damage to your equipment in addition to smoke destruction to the rest of your facility. The good news is the particular stove and hood fire in the fastfood restaurant shown left ended up being put out quickly. However , be aware of the heavy fire and smoke harm to the kitchen area and equipment.

The United Association of Mobile Contract Cleaners is a nationwide network of pressure washing contractors that embraces the power washing and mobile cleaning industry.
The following is a brief tour of our Delavan restaurant hood cleaning procedure:
1.) RPW ProWash covers the cooking equipment with plastic, removes and soaks the filters in a heavy de-greaser, and then scrapes the heavy grease deposits from the hood duct and fan.
2.) The remaining grease and grime gets blasted off of the fan and hood with hot high pressure and strong de-greaser.
3.) The soaked filters are now pressure cleaned, and replaced into a sparkling fireproof hood.
4.) Everything is cleaned up and the kitchen is left in good Fire Safe order for the next day’s work.
