Why Commercial Hood Cleaning Matters
Your exhaust hood system captures grease-laden vapors produced during cooking. Over time, grease accumulates inside the hood, ductwork, filters, and fans — creating an ideal fuel source for dangerous flash fires.
- Regular hood cleaning ensures:
- Fire hazard reduction
- Improved airflow and ventilation
- Longer lifespan of equipment
- Health department compliance
- Lower insurance risk

What makes us different
Our Commercial Hood Cleaning Process
At Salt City Fire, we follow a strict step-by-step process that meets NFPA 96 standards — the national standard for ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations
Here’s what you can expect:
1. Pre-cleaning Inspection
We assess your system’s condition, checking the hood, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan. We also identify areas of heavy buildup or accessibility issues.
2. Grease Containment and Protection
All nearby equipment, appliances, and surfaces are protected using food-safe plastic sheeting and grease-containment barriers.
3. Deep Cleaning with Industrial Equipment
Our team uses high-powered pressure washers, degreasers, and scraping tools to remove all grease and residue from:
The hood interior and exterior
Exhaust filters
Ductwork (as accessible)
Roof-mounted exhaust fans
4. System Rinse & Polish
After degreasing, we rinse, dry, and polish your hood to restore a clean and professional appearance.
5. Post-cleaning Report & Certification
We provide a service sticker and detailed report for your records and inspections. If required, we can also provide photo documentation for insurance or compliance purposes.
