Frequently asked questions

How Long Does It Take a Hood Cleaning Service to Clean a Commercial Kitchen?

A lot of factors go into determining how long it will take for a hood cleaning service to clean your commercial kitchen hood. One of the biggest factors is the overall size of your commercial kitchen. If you are curious about how much time it will take to clean your commercial kitchen, the best advice we can give you is to get in touch with us today so we can review your needs and give you a time estimate.

How often should I have commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning done?

The frequency depends on your facility’s usage. For commercial kitchens, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) recommends cleaning every 3-12 months, based on cooking volume—monthly for high-volume operations like 24-hour restaurants, quarterly for moderate use, and semi-annually for low use. Industrial facilities like warehouses may need annual or bi-annual cleaning, depending on activity levels. Our professional assessment can determine the best schedule for you.

That is why we take the time to understand your business and needs before we give an estimate on our kitchen exhaust system and hood cleaning services.

What happens if I don’t clean my exhaust system regularly?

Neglecting cleaning can lead to grease buildup, increasing the risk of grease fires, which can be devastating and costly. Dirty systems also harbor mold and bacteria, degrading air quality and potentially causing health issues like respiratory problems. Additionally, you risk failing safety inspections, facing fines, or losing insurance coverage.

What does your service include?

Our service covers a thorough cleaning of kitchen hoods, exhaust vents, and ductwork, removing grease, debris, and contaminants. We also clean exhaust fans and inspect the system for structural damage, leaks, or compliance issues. Our goal is to leave your system spotless, safe, and up to code.

Are your services compliant with safety regulations?

Yes, our cleaning and inspection processes align with NFPA 96 standards and local Portland, OR regulations. We ensure your system meets fire safety and health codes, providing documentation for insurance or regulatory purposes if needed.

How long does the cleaning process take?

The duration varies based on the size and condition of your system. A typical commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning takes 2-4 hours, while larger industrial systems may require 4-8 hours. We work efficiently and can schedule services during off-hours to minimize disruption to your operations.

Will cleaning disrupt my business operations?

We strive to minimize downtime by scheduling cleanings during non-operational hours, such as overnight or on weekends. Our team works quickly and professionally to ensure your kitchen or facility is back in action as soon as possible.
