Our kitchen hood cleaning service helps keep your commercial kitchen safe, compliant, and operating at peak efficiency. At Pressure Washers of Pocatello, we specialize in thoroughly cleaning hoods, filters, and surrounding surfaces to remove grease, smoke residue, and grime. Whether you manage a restaurant, cafeteria, or food truck, our certified technicians ensure your equipment stays clean and fire-code ready.
Why Kitchen Hood Cleaning Matters
Your kitchen hood is the first line of defense in your exhaust system—it captures grease and vapors before they travel into the ducts. Over time, this buildup becomes a serious hazard:
- Fire risks increase significantly
- Ventilation efficiency decreases
- Health inspection scores can be affected
- Greasy odors may spread into dining areas
- Code violations can lead to penalties or shutdowns
Routine kitchen hood cleaning keeps your kitchen safe, compliant, and running smoothly day after day.
What We Clean During Hood Service
Our service goes beyond just wiping down visible surfaces. We provide a deep, top-to-bottom cleaning that includes:
| Area | Cleaning Details |
|---|---|
| Interior and Exterior Hood | Degreased, scrubbed, and polished with food-safe chemicals |
| Grease Filters | Removed, soaked in degreaser, and pressure rinsed |
| Grease Traps and Cups | Emptied and sanitized |
| Underside Components | Cleaned to remove hard-to-reach buildup |
| Surrounding Surfaces | Wiped down to eliminate splatter and residue |
We follow industry standards, including NFPA 96 guidelines, to ensure your kitchen meets local safety regulations.
How Often Should Hoods Be Cleaned?
Frequency of cleaning depends on your kitchen type and usage volume. Below is a guideline:
- High-volume kitchens (grills, fryers, 24/7 service): Every 3 months
- Moderate-volume kitchens (cafés, diners): Every 6 months
- Low-volume operations (churches, seasonal food trucks): Once per year
We can set up a recurring schedule so you never have to worry about falling out of compliance.
Signs Your Kitchen Hood Needs Cleaning
If you notice any of these issues in your cooking area, it may be time to call us:
- Grease dripping from the hood edges
- Sticky residue on or around the hood
- Poor ventilation or increased heat near the cooking line
- Frequent smoke buildup in the kitchen
- Visible dirt on filters or metal surfaces
Regular cleanings prevent breakdowns and extend the life of your equipment.

Pair With Full Exhaust System Cleaning
For complete protection, we recommend pairing your hood cleaning with kitchen exhaust cleaning. This ensures the entire exhaust route, from the hood to the rooftop fan, is free of grease buildup and running safely.
You can also combine hood service with exterior maintenance to create a cleaner, more professional impression for guests and inspectors:
- Commercial exterior pressure washing for building walls and signage
- Commercial sidewalks and walkways pressure washing to eliminate stains from customer entryways
- Driveways and sidewalks pressure washing around loading areas and back entrances
- Decks, patios & porches pressure washing for outdoor seating or waiting areas
