Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning That Meets NFPA Standards

Running a commercial kitchen is already hard work—you shouldn’t have to worry about what’s lurking in your exhaust system, too. But the truth is, grease buildup doesn’t just slow things down—it’s one of the top causes of commercial kitchen fires. That’s why regular exhaust cleaning isn’t just a box to check. It’s a smart, safety-first move for your business.

At Kitchen Guard, we make it easy to stay up to code and out of trouble. Our certified techs know the ins and outs of kitchen exhaust systems and clean the whole thing—not just the parts you can see. So you stay safe, stay compliant, and get back to doing what you do best: keeping the orders coming.

Why Exhaust System Cleaning Matters

Your commercial kitchen’s exhaust system pulls grease-laden vapors up and out of your cooking space. Over time, those vapors turn into highly flammable grease deposits inside your hoods, ducts, and rooftop fans. If not properly cleaned, these areas can pose a serious fire risk.

Routine cleaning:

• Reduces the risk of dangerous grease fires
• Improves kitchen ventilation and air quality
• Extends the life of your exhaust equipment
• Keeps your business compliant with local fire and safety codes
• Helps you avoid costly citations and insurance issues
  

It’s not just about cleanliness—it’s about protecting your staff, guests, and livelihood.

Certified, Full-System Cleaning—Every Time

Not all cleaning companies provide complete hood system cleaning, but Kitchen Guard does. Our technicians are trained and certified to clean every inch of your system, not just the visible parts.

Here’s what we clean:

• The Hood Canopy: We remove grease buildup from inside and outside the hood itself.
• Ductwork: Our teams access and clean the entire duct system, using specialized tools to reach hidden areas.
• Rooftop Exhaust Fans: We degrease and maintain your fans to keep air flowing properly and prevent motor damage.
• Grease Containment Systems: If you have rooftop grease containment systems, we clean and inspect them, too.
  

We clean to NFPA 96 standards, the industry benchmark for commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning. You can trust that your system is being serviced by experts who understand what compliance really means.
