You cook food for your customers all day long, most of the time with various cooking oils. Burning those oils on high heat causes them to partially evaporate and rise into the air. As that occurs, the dirty vapors are drawn into the range hood through the grease filters using exhaust fans. This greasy air deposits residue on everything it touches, from the hoods to the filters to the vents, and throughout the system. That greasy build-up is a big problem because it can catch fire very easily from the heating elements that are still running. If that were to occur, the potential damage to your kitchen and business are immense. With that said, we highly recommend proactively requesting a kitchen exhaust cleaning every so often or scheduling a regular time for cleaners to take care of it. Call us for this anytime at (347) 492-1153 to sanitize the exhaust system and prevent a fire.
What does kitchen exhaust cleaning include?
After scheduling a time for our cleaners to stop in, we begin the kitchen exhaust cleaning with a walk-through and comprehensive estimate. We’ll perform a complete inspection of your exhaust hood and all elements of the system from the filters to the extractor fan. We look for things like how clean it is, the condition the units are in, the overall set-up, and whether your kitchen meets all local, state, and federal health and safety code standards. A huge perk to having our team on your side is that we have some ex-inspectors on our staff, so we know exactly what to look for during inspections.
After completing our inspection, we’ll hand you a copy of our recommendations for your kitchen. This list will include all our suggestions for cleaning, maintenance, and any applicable repairs or new equipment installations, as well as pricing for each item. Rest assured that we will never recommend something you don’t need. Also, we’ll give you a time frame for each item as well; if a particular repair or modification can wait, we’ll let you know. Then, it’s up to you – let us know how you’d like to proceed and we’ll clean and fix everything for you.
Our kitchen cleansing process involves high-tech equipment and FDA-approved cleaning solutions that will safely kill all the germs and bacteria in the area and leave the entire place spotless. We use a combination of steam cleaning and power-washing to do this.
Our kitchen exhaust cleaning service is popular because restaurants typically get it done prior to a scheduled inspection.

How do I know it’s time to clean the kitchen exhaust?
Good question. It depends on two things – (1) the regulations your specific insurance company has set and (2) the primary types of cooking you do. The cleaning schedule that you must agree to can range from every few months to once a year. However, if you do a lot of deep frying, expect to be washing your exhaust system frequently to make sure that grease isn’t accumulating on the vents and ducts. More specific details are available on the NYC health department’s website and from your insurance company. Keep in mind that although the regulations may seem excessive at times, they are meant to enhance the safety of you, your employees, and your patrons.
If you don’t clean the kitchen exhaust hood as often as required, you open your business to significant violations and large fines for failure to adhere to health and safety laws. If an inspector deemed it so, your restaurant could be shut down within the hour, so it’s important to keep a close eye on the appearance and hygiene of your range, vents, and so on.
Believe it or not, a rattling exhaust fan is one of the most common indicators that it’s time for maintenance. The kitchen extractor fan is a key component of the system because it’s responsible for sucking out all the hot, dirty air and replacing it with cool, fresh air from outside the building. As your employees cook, greasy vapors pass through the filters into the kitchen exhaust system toward the fan. The baffled filters can only remove so much grease from the air; some will make it through and land on the extractor fan. Although it’s usually made of stainless steel, the fan maintains a very delicate balance among its blades. If grease accumulates in one area, the weight on that blade increases and disrupts the normal spin cycle. The sound of the fan can help to identify this.
All fans should have a consistent noise. If that noise increases in volume or begins to sound irregular, there may be an issue. The extractor fan is a very common location for grease build-up, so a cleaning may be in order. On the off chance that it’s damaged or broken, our expert technicians will dismantle the unit and repair or replace the needed parts. If the motor is the issue, we can fix that too. Having been in the industry for a long time, we have contacts all the major manufactures who can supply us with system components at a lower than normal price.
