Hood Cleaning For Safety
About Hood Cleaning For Safety
A commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning is a fire-risky environment with high heat, open flames, and flammable cooking oils. Grease buildup in restaurant exhaust hoods, ducts, and fans is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires and must be regularly cleaned to reduce risk. Local health inspectors and fire officials take hood cleaning very seriously, and failing to meet NFPA 96 standards can result in fines or even forced closure.
To keep your restaurant compliant with NFPA 96, make sure to follow these simple kitchen maintenance habits. These simple steps can help keep your commercial kitchen NFPA-compliant between cleanings, and they also help to prevent grease fires and ensure that your system is working at peak performance.
Cleaning the hood canopy:
Before your cleaning crew finishes their job, they should wash and rinse down all the stainless steel surfaces of your hood canopy. This helps to remove any leftover degreaser solution and dissolved grime, and ensures that the hood canopy is ready for the next scrubbing session.
They should also wipe down the front of the hood and all other areas of the hood that can be reached, including corners and seams. Lastly, they should switch back on the exhaust fan and turn off any lights that were turned off during the hood cleaning process. When the hood cleaning crew is done, they will leave a service report for you to go over, and a copy of the before-and-after photos that show your kitchen exhaust hoods were clean and properly inspected upon completion of the cleaning process.
