Our kitchen exhaust cleaning service is designed to keep your commercial kitchen safe, compliant, and operating efficiently. At Pressure Washers of Pocatello, we clean exhaust systems from the inside out—removing grease buildup, reducing fire risks, and helping you meet local fire code regulations. Whether you run a busy restaurant, school cafeteria, or food truck, our team provides professional, dependable service tailored to your kitchen’s needs.
Why Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Is Essential
Your kitchen’s exhaust system is constantly collecting airborne grease, smoke, steam, and particulates. Without regular cleaning, this buildup can lead to:
- Increased fire hazard
- Foul odors and smoke issues
- Reduced system efficiency and airflow
- Violation of health and fire codes
- Contamination of food prep areas
By scheduling routine kitchen exhaust cleaning, you’re not just checking a compliance box—you’re protecting your staff, your customers, and your investment.
What’s Included in a Full Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
We don’t just clean the visible parts of your system. Our service covers the entire exhaust route, from the cook line to the rooftop fan. Here’s what’s included:
| Component | Cleaning Method |
|---|---|
| Exhaust Hood | Degreased, scrubbed, and polished |
| Filters | Soaked in food-safe degreaser and rinsed |
| Exhaust Ductwork | Scraped and power washed (as needed) |
| Rooftop Fan Assembly | Cleaned and balanced for proper ventilation |
| System Inspection | Post-clean review + before/after photo report |
Our team uses commercial-grade degreasers and hot water pressure systems to ensure a thorough, NFPA 96-compliant clean.
How Often Should You Schedule Cleaning?
The frequency of kitchen exhaust cleaning depends on your kitchen type and volume of use. Here’s a general guideline:
- High-volume kitchens (fast food, 24-hour diners): Every 3 months
- Moderate-volume operations (casual dining): Every 6 months
- Low-volume or seasonal kitchens: Once a year
Routine cleaning not only satisfies safety standards, but also helps prevent breakdowns in your ventilation system that can be costly to repair.
Signs Your Kitchen Exhaust Needs Cleaning
If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to schedule a service:
- Visible grease dripping from the hood or ductwork
- Strong greasy odors that linger after cooking
- Loud or rattling noises from the rooftop fan
- Reduced airflow or increased kitchen temperatures
- Noticeable smoke buildup inside the kitchen
Don’t wait until it becomes a fire hazard—regular maintenance saves you stress, money, and potential citations.
