A staggering 22% of restaurant fires are grease-related. This is why it is vital to ensure that your kitchen is regularly cleaned and inspected for flammable buildup. This includes not only the visible restaurant exhaust hood, but also vents, fans and ductwork that lead to the roof.
Restaurant owners should carefully research and choose a certified hood cleaner who adheres to all NFPA regulations throughout the cleaning process. In addition, they should look for references or testimonials from previous clients to gauge a company’s professionalism and quality of work.
The first step in a proper Jasvid Hood Cleaning involves clearing the area around the kitchen hood and removing any movable equipment or utensils that may interfere with the crew’s ability to clean effectively. This creates a clear workspace, facilitating easy access for the cleaning crew and eliminating any potential damage or accidents that could occur.
Hood Cleaning: What’s Involved? Step-by-Step Process
Once the workspace is clear, the hood cleaners will begin to remove all filters, traps, and grease troughs as well as the roof or wall-mounted fan from the duct work and degrease the ductwork base, shroud and fan blades. If the fans or ducts are contaminated with grease and food debris, it will restrict airflow, increase static pressure and potentially cause short-term mechanical failure.
The hood cleaning crew will then wipe down the entire kitchen and rinse the fans. Once all the work is completed, a service report will be provided to the restaurant owner/manager and the fans can be turned back on. The certified hood cleaning company should then place a required sticker on the kitchen hood to show that it has been properly inspected and cleaned and complies with all NFPA standards.
