Restaurant kitchen & Commercial Hood Cleaning in Denver
Commercial kitchens that have been in use for some time accumulate grease on most surfaces, particularly on the exhaust and ventilation systems. The grease has to be cleaned periodically to enable your system to work efficiently. If this is not done, you may have a fire hazard on your hands, which you certainly do not want. Therefore, if you operate a commercial kitchen or a restaurant, you should remain aware of the massive fire risk due to the hidden grease deposits in the exhaust hood or the range hood and get rid of them promptly.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that more than 11,000 fires happen in commercial kitchens every year.
The amount of property damage amounts to more than $150 million, and one of the leading causes of those fires is the grease-catching fire that accumulates in the kitchen exhaust hood and exhaust systems. Therefore commercial hood cleaning is an essential and legal requirement.
CFM Testing has professional hood cleaning services in Colorado. We have been the stable cleaner for many well-known commercial kitchens, and we want to be the same for your facility.
Commercial Grease Cleaning - Hood Cleaning Service & Inspections
In our cleaning process, we adhere to the cleaning guidelines outlined by the National Fire Protection Association. We use hot water pressure washing and polish to keep your hoods looking pristine after we are done.
After the job has been done, we’ll leave our certification sticker on your hood for easy identification by inspectors in the state of Colorado.
Cleaning the kitchen hood and vents is a messy task that qualified professionals should always perform. First of all, our team of grease cleaners will clear out the area around the exhaust hood. This includes disconnecting the electrical power to cooking equipment and gas lines, in addition to clearing the area and shutting down the electrical connections. Whether it is the hood canopy, the ductwork, or the exhaust fans, our professionals properly clean every area, inside and outside, and collect all the grease deposits using the latest tools and techniques.
After the exhaust hood system has been power-washed and cleaned, the kitchen surface will have water and residue all over. So, our professionals will continue the cleaning procedure to eliminate all the oil and fat residue and debris from every area to have a fully functional and clean kitchen.
Why You Should Keep the Restaurant Kitchen Hood Clean
In a commercial kitchen, the range hood consistently gathers a lot of dirt, grease, grime, and contaminated air flowing through the system. Getting rid of all of this offers several benefits.
Improved Airflow:
Grease and grime deposits contaminated the air inside the kitchen. Over time, the airflow in the kitchen deteriorates in quality. Consequently, it is rather challenging for the staff to work comfortably. Such an unhealthy environment also takes a toll on the other areas of the commercial kitchen. Professional hood cleaning helps you avoid all these issues.
Reduce the Risk of Fire:
You need to keep your kitchen well-protected from fire hazards at all times. The consistent buildup of grease increases the risk of a kitchen fire. If the cleaning of the range hoods is ignored or delayed, it can lead to serious consequences for the staff and guests. The accountability for the accident will always remain with you, the restaurant owner.
Therefore, it is crucial to hire commercial hood cleaning services as per an ideal frequency for your commercial kitchen.
Grease-related Falls:
Oil, fats, and grease also make the kitchen surface slippery. Consequently, the kitchen workers and anyone entering this area are at risk of slipping and falling. Proper hood cleaning will help you keep the kitchen area grease-free and avoid accidents.
Stay Code-Compliant:
The NFPA has outlined clear safety guidelines for commercial kitchens and restaurants. Following these codes is the best way to run your business legally, safely, and healthily.
Save Money:
One key benefit of kitchen hood cleaning is that you will be able to save a lot of money in the long term. Imagine what could happen if the grease deposits in your facility are not removed. This can lead to potential fire breakouts and damage to both lives and property. Proper cleaning also prolongs the lifespan of the exhaust hood system and other equipment.
Let Us Help You Select the Right Cleaning Frequency
Among other things, the National Fire Protection Association also recommends how many times you should clean your kitchen’s exhaust hood in a month or year. Again, make sure you pick the right frequency. At CFM Testing, our professionals will guide and advise you in this aspect.
Several factors determine the frequency of cleaning, such as whether you use solid fuels in your kitchen and how much food you prepare every day. Monthly cleaning is ideal for those restaurants that use wood, coal, or charcoal as fuel. If you do not use solid fuel but have a high cooking volume, you should get the range hood cleaned every quarter. Commercial kitchens with a moderate volume of cooking should get the cleaning done semi-annually to keep the working environment safe.
Our professionals will educate you on the cleaning aspect of your kitchen, no matter what kind of fuel you use or how frequently you cook in it.
