Exhaust Cleaning Services

How often should you clean the kitchen hood?

Regular maintenance will keep the kitchen complied with the IKECA and NFPA no.96 regulations and sustain the proper performance and durability of the exhaust system. The volume of cooking is the primary factor affecting the frequency of cleaning, and you should hire the Roseville Air Duct Cleaning for commercial kitchens as recommended down below:

• Monthly when there’s constant solid fuel cooking.
• Quarterly (every three months) when there’s 24-hour cooking with a significant volume of cooking
• Semi-annually (every six months) when the cooking volume is medium.
• Annually when you run a seasonal business (day camps, senior center, churches) or if you have a residential kitchen.

Our Exhaust Cleaning Process

The Air Duct Cleaning Roseville team will begin with a detailed examination of your bathroom/kitchen exhaust, conceiving a cleaning procedure according to your kitchen’s particularities. Some steps are always the same,  but our team will always make the necessary changes to your application.

1. Initial Inspection of the Exhaust System

The technicians run a detailed examination of the exhaust system, seeing if any of the problems are severe. They’re also able to make repairs and replacements if need be.

2. Turn off the Exhaust Fan

As they’re experienced and knowledgeable, our technicians know how to turn off any exhaust systems. They have to do it for safety reasons.

3. Get the Kitchen Ready

The team will switch off the gas valves, pilot lights, and appliances in the kitchen or close to it. The chemicals they use for cleaning may ignite, so our technicians don’t take any chances.

Our team will also take care of the appliances and floors, covering them with protective tarps. Cleaning the exhaust system can become messy, so our experts will try their best to protect the areas where they work. They also install the funnels for collecting grease and debris and place the baffle filters aside.

4. Hood Vent Cleaning

The technician on the roof will spray a powerful degreaser on the exhaust fan elements and above ducts. He uses hot water for rinsing.

The other team member is down in the kitchen, assuring that all grease and debris get down the funnel and directly into the collection recipient. He will also use the degreaser and hot water for cleaning the baffle filters.

These steps are repeated several times until everything is spotless.

5. Clean inside the kitchen

After cleaning the roof, the technicians clean the exhaust hood from the bottom up, with a strong degrease and hot water for rinsing.

6. Polishing

The Air Duct Cleaning Roseville will protect the canopy’s exterior with a polish, applying it after the hood has dried.

7. Check the System

Once the elements are dry and clean, the technicians will mount the baffle filters in place. They also check the system for proper functioning.

8. Finish Up

The team applies the mandatory sticker on the hood; should you run a commercial kitchen, it's wise to leave it there to be useful for fire and health inspection.

Our experts will leave your kitchen clean and fresh smelling, and go only after turning the pilot lights, exhaust fan, gas valves back on.

9. Post-Cleaning Examination

Our team will note every detail about their work in a report that they will hand you after they’re done. The experts can leave a copy of the report if you’re elsewhere.

Some people think that exhaust system cleaning isn’t difficult. However, you should know that it’s dangerous and counterproductive to do it on your own. Only professionals have the knowledge, skills, and tools to do it safely and efficiently. Call Air Duct Cleaning Roseville for the best results.
