Hoods

As the holidays begin to kick off and the new year approaches, it's a great time to get prepped for what the new year will bring. Properly running a kitchen requires routine maintenance and cleaning, and just like the majority of the world that uses January 1st as a date to start fresh, it's a great jump off point for a properly cleaned kitchen space. This includes replacing hood filters, checking electrical components to ensure they are working properly, cleaning out the ductwork, and more. Not only does regular cleaning keep your kitchen space tidy and organized, but it also comes with safety benefits and removes the risk of fires that comes with grease buildups that occur over time. This is where a full, proper exhaust hood cleaning comes into play - and there's no better way to do it then right at the new year to ensure your kitchen space is clean and running for a great new year!

Before you get started, you should know what's involved in a proper hood cleaning. This will give you a good idea of what the hood cleaning company will be doing, and will allow you to ask questions to any cleaning service you are considering to work with to ensure they know what they are doing.

• Prep the kitchen for cleaning, including shutting off and covering all pilot lights and gas valves.
• Wrap the exhaust hood in poly plastic and filter the runoff into a container to catch all grease and water run off.
• Clean the grease filters by soaking them for a few hours and then pressure washing. If the filters are too far damaged or used they will be replaced.
