Commercial Hood Cleaning in Salt Lake City & Park City, Utah

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

We assess your system’s condition, checking the hood, filters, ductwork, and exhaust fan. We also identify areas of heavy buildup or accessibility issues.

All nearby equipment, appliances, and surfaces are protected using food-safe plastic sheeting and grease-containment barriers.

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.
