Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

A Dirty Exhaust Hood Is The Enemy of Profits

Exhaust hood cleaning … from cook top to rooftop, is critical to maintaining a safe, fully operational kitchen. Grease can be easily ignited in a solid, liquid or vapor form.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, over 11,000 fires occur annually in restaurants and kitchens, resulting in over $160 million in damage. Is your operation perilously close to becoming a statistic? Routine kitchen hood cleaning reduces those chances.

1. Half of all fires start in the kitchen. Some type of cooking equipment caused two of every five fires. Deep fat fryers ranked second in fires and first among cooking equipment in dollar loss.
2. The other major causes of cook line kitchen fires included stoves, ovens, open fired grills, and grease hood or ductwork.
3. All of these major kitchen fires began on a cook line beneath an exhaust canopy hood equipped with some type of automatic fire suppression system.

Don’t risk loss of life or dollars.
