Complete commercial kitchen hood cleaning — from the canopy and hood to the entire duct network and roof-mounted fans. This is our core service: we clean every part of your kitchen exhaust system to NFPA 96 standards the first time.
Using commercial-grade pressure washers and specialized equipment, we provide detailed before-and-after photo documentation for your compliance records.
It’s the most requested service among restaurants and commercial kitchens across Greenville, Spartanburg, and the Upstate, and a big reason so many local operators pass their annual fire marshal inspection without a hitch.
NFPA 96 ties cleaning frequency directly to your cooking volume and fuel type: monthly for solid-fuel operations, quarterly for high-volume 24-hour or charbroil/wok kitchens, semi-annually for moderate-volume kitchens, and annually for low-volume operations. We help Greenville, Spartanburg, and Upstate operators identify the right tier and stay ahead of it.
