Hood Cleaning in North Hollywood

Last week, our team at Bryan Exhaust Service had the opportunity to perform a hood cleaning at a busy restaurant in North Hollywood. The kitchen at this establishment is constantly in use, producing high levels of grease and grime on a daily basis. This not only poses a fire hazard, but can also lead to poor kitchen ventilation and a less than desirable dining experience for customers.

Professional Hood Cleaners

As professional hood cleaners, we understand the importance of maintaining a clean and safe kitchen exhaust system. We follow the guidelines laid out by the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA) and the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations. 

Hood Cleaning Process

When we arrived at the restaurant, the kitchen hood and ductwork were covered in a thick layer of grease and grime. The hood filters were clogged and the exhaust fan was not functioning at optimal capacity. Our team set to work, using our custom made foamers to break down and remove the grease buildup. We also cleaned the hood filters and the interior of the ductwork.

The before and after photos speak for themselves. The kitchen hood now sparkles, the exhaust fan is working efficiently, and the kitchen is much cooler. The restaurant staff were thrilled with the results and have scheduled regular cleanings with us every three months to maintain their hood system.

Regular hood cleaning is not only important for the safety and performance of your kitchen exhaust system, but it also helps to extend the life of the equipment.
