Aside from dangerous fumes being left in the air, when your kitchen exhaust system is not cleaned on a regular basis, it becomes a serious fire hazard. Approximately one and three Philadelphia restaurant fires is caused by grease, so you can see how incredibly important it is to have your hoods cleaned on a regular basis.
If you are Philadelphia restaurant owner, you may have gone the cheaper route a few times in the past and hired a fly-by-night hood cleaner, or even worse, a hood polisher. What this does, is it causes your hood to be cleaned only where it is seen, and the most important duct work between the hood and roof are completely left untouched, causing a build up of grease and charcoal to accumulate over the years. The extremely dangerous scenario occurs then, when a flame jumps from the stove while cooking. The flame can ignite the thick build up of grease in the duct work and immediately cause a fire that is unstoppable due to the amount of flammable elements that are inside the kitchen exhaust system. You may think you are saving money by using a cheap cleaner or hood polisher, but in essence you could be in an expensive lawsuit due to your negligence.

Kitchen exhaust cleaning is a service that needs to be regularly performed on every restaurant from every 30 days to every six months. Depending on the number of greasy foods you fry or how much oil is being released into the air.
This oil is meant to be vented through the hood of the ductwork and out the roof through a fan. What happens is, if you do not properly maintain and clean your duct work of buildup of grease and charcoal will gradually build up and present a very dangerous safety hazard and potential fire hazard.
To properly clean a restaurant exhaust hood, you must first go in and completely scrape the hood duct and fan on top completely eradicating large chunks and only leaving the residue.
Next, you come in and squirt down all the grease with a food safe degreaser. After that hot water is been pressure washed on the exhaust system to completely take off all the grease and oil’s and bring it down to bare metal. Hot water pressure washing is the only way to completely eradicate all the charcoal and grease buildup. Our machines we use first boil water and then applies the water at 2000 PSI.
As always before we do any work we cover all of your kitchen equipment with heavy duty plastic, protecting from the washing process.

This helps the grease come off and break down easily without over excessive scraping. We completely spray the inside of the fan on the roof. Then we willpressure wash with steam water the fan and all orifices and shell. We completely spray off all excess oil and grease inside the ductwork from the roof to the hood below.
