Houston Hood Cleaning – Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning that significantly contributes to the health and safety of any culinary establishment. It involves the thorough cleaning of kitchen hoods, filters, and vents which over time accumulate grease and other cooking residues that are highly flammable. If not cleaned properly, this residue can result in serious fire hazards and impact the performance of the kitchen exhaust system. Regular hood cleaning helps in complying with local and national fire and safety regulations, optimizes kitchen operations, reduces risks of fire hazards, and ensures staff and customers’ health and comfort.

The First Step is Preparation

A hood cleaning technician inspects the entire exhaust system to identify any foreign objects or blockages that might interfere with airflow. This is also the ideal time to check for any signs of damage that might require attention or repair before proceeding with the actual cleaning process. Next, the ducts are cleared of any excess grease and dirt by removing large deposits with a brush, vacuum, or rod. The ducts are then rinsed with hot water and a pressure washer to eliminate any chemicals or debris.

Grease is a very flammable substance that can quickly cling to anything that’s hot, including the walls of the hood, kitchen equipment, vents, fans, and ductwork. Heavy grease deposits in the ductwork pose a major fire risk, cause odors, and attract pests. Clogged ducts overload the hood’s exhaust fan, shortening its lifespan and increasing energy bills.
