Our aim is to provide clear and concise information to help our clients make informed decisions about their cleaning needs.
A typical hood cleaning takes three to four hours. Nevertheless, a number of variables affect how long it takes. The number of hoods/fans, the size of the kitchen, and the intervals between cleanings all affect how long it takes to finish the task.
By not keeping up with your expert hood cleanings, you not only run the possibility of fines and interim kitchen closures, but you also endanger the customers' and kitchen staff's health and safety. Unmaintained hood systems can cause fires, poor air quality, and property damage, all of which can force a temporary shutdown of business, result in your insurance being dropped, and more.
According to NFPA 96, every exhaust fan must have rooftop access panels installed, and every upbeat fan must have hinge kits. This maintains you in compliance with NFPA 96, provides direct access for upkeep and cleaning of the exhaust fans, and reduces wear and tear on fan belts and bearings.
According to NFPA 96, the majority of business hoods must be cleaned once every three months. However, there are exception for unique circumstances. Wood burning stoves, for instance, need to be cleaned once a month, whereas churches, schools, and other establishments with kitchens that don't accumulate as much grease can wait until once a year between cleanings.
We prioritize the safety of our technicians and do not take on high-risk cleaning tasks. Our services are in compliance with the Ministry of Labour standards and guidelines. As responsible service providers, we are members of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to ensure that our operations are safe and secure.
While rescheduling is never an issue for us, it's important to understand that hood cleaning is a maintenance service that requires attention to detail. Delays in cleaning can result in build-up and create additional work to bring the system back to a compliant state. We strive to provide prompt and efficient service, but appreciate our clients' understanding of the nature of this type of work.
