Hood Cleaning
From the canopy to the entire ducting network, we clean your commercial kitchen to NFPA 96 standards.
Certified commercial kitchen cleaning for DMV restaurants starts with Kitchen Guard — the only company in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia that uses in-house employees exclusively. No subcontractors, no staffing agencies: your team is Kitchen Guard staff, certified to NFPA 96 on every visit. Because DC DOH, the Maryland State Fire Marshal, and Virginia DCJS each enforce NFPA 96 on your commercial kitchen, compliance documentation is not optional — it is required. Additionally, Kitchen Guard generates a complete photo-documented service report after every cleaning, ready for your inspector on demand.

YOUR KITCHEN GUARD EXPERIENCE FROM FIRST CALL TO FINAL REPORT
How Kitchen Guard Cleans Your DMV Restaurant
Call (866) 367-5482 or submit our online form. A Kitchen Guard representative — not a call center — calls you back the same business day to discuss your kitchen, service history, and compliance schedule.
We serve restaurants from downtown DC to Fairfax, from Bethesda to Alexandria. We schedule nights, early mornings, and weekends so your kitchen never misses a service window. Same crew, every visit.
An in-house certified technician walks your kitchen and gives you a written estimate at no charge — covering hood system, filters, pressure washing, or repairs as needed. No pressure, no surprises on the invoice.
Every service is documented with before-and-after photos, a timestamped service report, and a completed NFPA 96 compliance certificate. You get a copy instantly — the same record your DC, Maryland, or Virginia inspector expects to see.
