BOOST YOUR KITCHEN’S PERFORMANCE

Premium Hood & Ventilation System Cleaning

Hood Cleaning

Hood Cleaning

From the canopy to the entire ducting network and all the way to the fans on the roof, we clean your commercial kitchen to NFPA 96 standards.

  • This is our core competency. We clean it correctly the first time reducing any fire risk.
  • We clean the entire system, not just a portion of it.
  • We use a commercial-grade pressure washer and other equipment to clean as thoroughly as possible.
  • We’ll show you proof (before and after pictures) and documentation to file for compliance.
