  1. Step-By-Step Guide For Professional Exhaust Hood Cleaning

    Regular maintenance and cleaning of your exhaust hood system is something that most kitchen staff can handle on a semi-regular basis. If you keep up with daily clean ups, and a decent deeper clean every week or so, your kitchen and your exhaust hood system should be relatively clean the majority of the time. But at least once or twice a year (sometimes even by law) you will be required to have your exhaust hood system thoroughly deep cleaned by a professional cleaning service. These cleaning services can properly clean your exhaust system very quickly and most importantly - efficiently - to ensure that everything is being cleaned and maintained. Here is a step-by-step process of what you an expect when you hiring a professional exhaust hood cleaning service.

Everything is covered in protective plastic wrap and tarps, and a funnel is constructed to guide any grease and water to the disposal to help prevent mess and residue being left behind.
