Hood Cleaning

Commercial Hood Cleaning — Tampa Bay

Commercial Hood Cleaning — Tampa Bay

Tampa’s commercial kitchens run hard. From the high-volume restaurants of Ybor City and SoHo to hotel kitchens in Brandon and school cafeterias across Hillsborough County, grease builds up fast — and in Florida’s heat and humidity, it builds up faster than you think.

Kitchen Guard of Tampa provides full-system commercial hood cleaning that goes far beyond wiping down the visible hood. We clean the entire exhaust pathway: hood canopy, plenum chamber, filters, ductwork, and the exhaust fans on your roof — every component that grease can reach.

  • Full canopy, plenum & baffle filter degreasing
  • Ductwork cleaned from hood to rooftop exhaust fan
  • Rooftop fan housing cleaned inside and out
  • Commercial-grade pressure washing — not just wiping
  • Before & after photo report delivered same day
  • NFPA 96 service sticker applied after every cleaning

Most hoods look clean on the surface. The danger hides in your ductwork and fan housing — thick grease deposits that become a fire risk the moment your equipment runs hot. At Kitchen Guard of Tampa, we clean what you can’t see, not just what you can.

Serving Tampa, Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Lakeland, Oldsmar, and all of Hillsborough County.
