Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

Cleaning kitchen exhausts is required for every commerical cooking establishment

About Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

By law, kitchen exhaust cleaning is required for virtually every commercial cooking establishment in the United States. Restaurants, hospitals, hotels, employee cafeterias and other food service locations have a hood and ductwork over the stove to exhaust smoke, steam, and fumes out of the building.

These exhaust gases leave a residue on the inside of the ductwork. Heavy grease buildup, whether in a restaurant or home, creates a fire hazard.

Kitchen exhaust cleaning is often referred to as restaurant hood cleaning or commercial hood cleaning. They all refer to the same process, but hood cleaning is a bit of a misnomer. The actual hood is the canopy outside the exhaust system and kitchen exhaust cleaning involves removing grease that has accumulated behind the filters and in the ducts and fans of kitchen exhaust systems.

Proper kitchen exhaust cleaning is critical to fire prevention. Improper grease exhaust cleaning can lead to potential fire safety risk.

Hughes Environmental is certified by the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association (IKECA). IKECA members are committed to a thorough cleaning of the entire exhaust system, from the hood in the kitchen to the fan on the roof. Members follow the highest cleaning and inspection standards in the industry.

All of our work is guaranteed to pass fire, health, and insurance inspection.
