Full-system commercial hood cleaning that meets strict NFPA 96 fire code requirements.
Proper hood cleaning is one of the most critical steps in preventing commercial kitchen fires.Kitchen Guard of Houston provides full-system commercial hood cleaning that meets strictNFPA 96 fire code requirements and supports safe, efficient operation for restaurants andcommercial kitchens throughout Houston, The Woodlands, Spring, Klein, Katy, West University,Memorial, Uptown, Galleria, Montrose, River Oaks, Heights, Copperfield, Bear Creek,Westchase, Westheimer, and all surrounding areas.
Unlike companies that only clean visible surfaces, we perform a complete exhaust system cleaning—removing grease from every hard-to-reach area where fire hazards build up.

That’s why we clean from the kitchen hood all the way to the rooftop fan, ensuring your entire system is restored to safe, code-compliant condition.
