5 Reasons Why Camden County Commercial Kitchens Should Clean Their Hoods More Often
Let Kitchen Guard of Cherry Hill Protect Your Commercial Kitchen with Our Professional Hood Cleaning Service
As the owner of a restaurant or commercial kitchen, your time is pulled in a hundred different directions. Serving your patrons, meal prep and planning, hiring front of house and cooks, and marketing your business demands so much of your time. And one thing that rarely crosses your mind is cleaning your commercial kitchen hood.
However, the minute you have a destructive kitchen fire or don’t pass fire codes or health and safety standards, that’s the minute you regret not being more proactive about cleaning your commercial kitchen hood. In running your Camden County commercial kitchen, keeping your kitchen exhaust and hood system clean should be a top priority for you. Consider these five reasons why your business, your employees, and your patrons deserve the cleanest possible exhaust and hood in your commercial kitchen.
Why Professional Exhaust and Hood Cleaning is Important for Your Commercial Kitchen
Safety and Fire Prevention
Among the most common reasons why fires break out in commercial kitchens is a buildup of grease and other flammable residue in exhaust hoods, filters, and ductwork. A common flare up from cooking appliances can easily spark a fire that spreads rapidly. Big or small, a kitchen fire can lead to devastating property damage and potential for injuries or even fatalities.
Using a commercial-grade pressure washer, Kitchen Guard of Cherry Hill thoroughly cleans your canopy through to the entire ducting network to NFPA 96 high standards. Our proven kitchen hood cleaning process gets rid of this grease and debris that is like kindling at a campsite.
Compliance of Fire and Safety Codes
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) ensures that your commercial kitchen in Camden County, New Jersey, adheres to their strict fire and safety codes. This association never plays favorites. If your commercial hood, exhaust, and duct system are caked with grease and flammable debris, your kitchen won’t pass.
What could a single failed report mean for your kitchen and your business? Non-compliance of fire safety codes or other health safety standards could result in fines, an unfavorable score, and even forced closure.
Why risk a possible fine or shutdown when Kitchen Guard of Cherry Hill is just a phone call away? With the right equipment and experienced technicians, we ensure your newly cleaned kitchen hood will easily pass any health, safety, or fire code inspection.
Possible Lower Insurance Costs
Most restaurant owners nowadays are feeling the pinch of higher costs. Food costs have skyrocketed, employee wages creep higher, and it takes considerable more money to market your business these days. Well, the cost of insurance has exploded as well.
The cost to insure a restaurant is very expensive today, especially in Camden County. One major reason insurance companies are forced to hike up their rates is because of fire risks. Fortunately, there are a growing number of insurance companies who will offer lower rates or a credit if you can show evidence that your kitchen hoods are regularly being cleaned.
That’s where Kitchen Guard of Cherry Hill shines. Not only will we do an exceptional job by thoroughly cleaning your commercial kitchen hood, ductwork, and exhaust quarterly or more frequently, we will gladly provide the proof your insurance company needs to get you a discounted rate.
Improves Air Quality
You’ve certainly had the experience of eating at a restaurant that has a lingering smell of stale smoke or grease. It affects the smell and taste of your food. It affects the air quality. And, naturally, it affects the number of patrons that come through their doors. Any commercial kitchen that can’t get their air quality under control isn’t long for the business. Either health inspectors will shut them down or people will stop eating there.
Kitchen Guard of Cherry Hill does such a great job at cleaning commercial kitchen hoods and ducts that it will remove any smoke and airborne particles. Yes, our thorough cleaning process will eliminate heavy odors. Even better, when you schedule our team for your Camden County restaurant, you’ll notice an improvement in air quality.

Increases Equipment Lifespan
Naturally, the immediate reasons why you want a clean hood, exhaust, and duct system is to prevent fires, pass fire and safety inspections, and to improve the air quality. However, an added bonus is that your costly kitchen equipment will perform better and last longer.
When you have caked on grease covering your hood and exhaust, your kitchen equipment simply can’t run efficiently. Over time, that inefficiency forces your grill, fryers, and other kitchen equipment to work harder. Not only does this shorten its lifespan, it can cost you considerably more in energy costs.
Let Kitchen Guard save the day. With a newly cleaned commercial kitchen hood and ductwork, your fans will run more efficiently, your cooking surfaces and fryers will run optimally, and all of your equipment should last longer. You may get more years from your kitchen equipment. You may also enjoy lower utility bills.
