Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning

From the canopy to the entire ducting network and all the way to the exhaust fans on the roof, we are a professional commercial kitchen hood cleaning company that cleans your kitchen to NFPA 96 fire code standards.

  • This is our core competency. Our NFPA-certified technicians clean it correctly the first time, reducing fire risk and keeping you inspection-ready.
  • We clean the entire exhaust system — hood canopy, ductwork, and rooftop fans — not just a portion of it.
  • We use a commercial-grade pressure washer and other equipment to clean as thoroughly as possible.
