Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Restore your hood to bare metal. Pass any inspection. No grease left behind.

What a Real Hood Cleaning Looks Like

"Hood cleaning" gets thrown around a lot. Most outfits wipe the front of the hood with a degreaser and call it done. That's not cleaning โ€” that's lipstick on a fire hazard.

A proper hood cleaning means:

  • Removing the filters and pressure-washing them to factory clean
  • Scraping baked-on grease off the interior hood surfaces
  • Degreasing the plenum and capture area to bare metal
  • Wiping the exterior to a stainless-steel shine
  • Documenting before/after with photos
  • Replacing filters in the correct orientation

If a "hood cleaning" doesn't include those steps, you didn't get a hood cleaning. You got a wipedown.

Hood Cleaning vs. Full Exhaust Cleaning โ€” What's the Difference?

Hood cleaning covers the visible hood, filters, and plenum. It's good maintenance between full system cleanings and meets some local code requirements.

Full exhaust cleaning goes further โ€” into the ducts, up to the fan, and across the roof. NFPA 96 generally requires a full exhaust cleaning at code-specified intervals.

Not sure which one you need? Call (909) 794-0041 โ€” we'll inspect and recommend what's actually required for your kitchen, not what we can upsell.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Sometimes โ€” it depends on your local fire marshal and the NFPA 96 frequency that applies to your kitchen volume. Many kitchens need full exhaust cleaning (ducts + fan) at code-specified intervals, not just hood cleaning.

A single hood typically takes 1โ€“2 hours after the kitchen closes. A multi-hood line runs 3โ€“5 hours. We work after hours so your kitchen never closes during service.

Outside surfaces โ€” yes, we polish them to a clean stainless shine. Interior surfaces are cleaned to bare metal but won't look new; that's normal and expected for cooked-in surfaces.

We clean the filters you have. If yours are damaged or worn out, we'll tell you and recommend replacements โ€” but we don't push add-ons.
