Complete Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

We go beyond the visible hood. Our 8-point cleaning protocol ensures every inch of your system—from the cooktop to the rooftop fan—is bare metal clean and NFPA 96 compliant for restaurants and commercial facilities.

01

System Protection

Before we start, we cover all cooking equipment, appliances, and floors with heavy-duty plastic to prevent grease splatter and water damage during the cleaning process.

02

Filter Removal & Dip

We remove all baffle filters and soak them in a specialized degreasing solution to break down heavy carbon buildup that standard washing can't remove.

03

Fan & Duct Cleaning

We access the rooftop exhaust fan and ductwork. Using high-pressure hot water and scraping tools, we remove grease from the fan blades, housing, and vertical ducts.

04

Plenum & Hood Cleaning

We clean the plenum (the area behind the filters) and the entire interior of the hood canopy, stripping away grease layers down to the bare stainless steel.

05

Grease Trap Service

We inspect rooftop grease containment. Often paired with our dumpster area cleaning, this prevents roof damage and environmental runoff.

06

Hood Polishing

Once cleaned, the stainless steel hood exterior is hand-polished to a brilliant shine, leaving your kitchen looking professional and well-maintained.

07

Site Cleanup

We remove all plastic coverings, mop the floor area around the workspace, and re-install the clean filters, leaving your kitchen ready for service.

08

Certification

We apply a "Certificate of Performance" sticker to the hood, verifying the cleaning date and ensuring you have proof of compliance for fire marshals.

NFPA 96 Compliance & Fire Safety

Grease-laden vapors are the fuel for one of the most dangerous threats to a restaurant: kitchen fires. A simple spark can ignite grease in a duct, spreading fire to the roof in seconds.

At PowerWash Pro, we strictly adhere to NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection. Our cleaning removes this fuel source, protecting your property, your staff, and your insurance validity.

🔥

Fire Hazard Mitigation

Grease is highly combustible. We remove fuel sources from inaccessible areas like vertical ducts and fan housings.

📋

Insurance & Code Compliance

Failure to clean to NFPA 96 standards can void your insurance policy. Our certified cleaning keeps you covered.

💨

Improved Airflow

Clogged fans run slower and strain motors. Cleaning restores proper airflow, removing smoke and heat from your kitchen efficiently.

Common Questions
How often does my hood system need cleaning?
Frequency is determined by NFPA 96 standards. High-volume restaurants (24-hour, charbroiling, or wok cooking) typically require Quarterly cleaning. Moderate volume facilities need Semi-Annual service to stay compliant.
What exactly is included in the cleaning?
We perform a "bare metal" cleaning of the entire exhaust system. This includes the hood canopy, plenum, ductwork, and the rooftop fan. For clients managing multi-location commercial facilities, we provide comprehensive documentation for every unit.
Do you provide certification for the Fire Marshal?
Yes. We apply a certification sticker to the hood verifying the date of service. This is vital for local inspections in cities like Phoenix or Albuquerque to prove NFPA 96 compliance.
