Restaurant Kitchen Hood Cleaning
64% of all restaurant fires can be linked to grease and oil. One of the key places that collect grease and oil is your hood vent. The proper cleaning and maintenance of this apparatus is imperative and can go a long way to assuring safety in your restaurant. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) considers proper ventilation procedures important enough to devote Standard 96 to spelling them out.
Fires that start in a vent hood are especially challenging, because the vent system feeds the fire the very thing that fans the flame: oxygen. Once the fire has started, it is just a sprint away from the ducts above and the roof. Entire restaurants have burned to the ground when a fire started in the ventilation system.
Proper, professional cleaning of your exhaust system should be scheduled no less than twice per year. This assures:
“ The proper ventilation of your kitchen
“ Compliance with local fire codes
“ The health and safety of your customers and staff
“ And protection from a costly and potentially deadly fire
“ Not to mention a happy Fire Marshall
Professional cleaners, in this situation just make good sense. Unschooled cleaning crews will probably just clean what they can see from the ground and what they can easily reach. Without thorough cleaning as specified by the National Fire Protection Association, money is wasted on an inadequate job which only gives the appearance of taking care of the problem. The real danger still lurks inside the vents, ready to cause an accidental fire, possible injury or death, and lost revenue.
