Why Businesses Choose Kitchen Guard for Hood Cleaning
NFPA 96 Compliance Is Non-Negotiable
Compliance is one of the most important reasons to keep your kitchen exhaust system properly cleaned.
NFPA 96 standards define how grease must be removed from commercial kitchen exhaust systems. Falling behind on cleaning can increase fire risk, create inspection issues, and disrupt operations.
