Hood Builder's experts for design, build, and maintenance services.

NFPA 96 sets the minimum cleaning standard for commercial kitchens. We assess your cooking volume and recommend the right cadence to keep you compliant.

Commercial hood cleaning is the professional degreasing and inspection of your kitchen exhaust system — including the hood canopy, filters, plenum, ductwork, and exhaust fan. Regular cleaning removes built-up grease that is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires, keeping your business NFPA 96 compliant and your staff safe. · https://y5judepxfpr0logb.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/page-assets/project-7k5jnues/1784310836784-Kitchen-Hood-Cleaning.webp · Technician performing professional kit

What Is Commercial Hood Cleaning?

Regular degreasing of hoods, filters, ducts, and fans is required by NFPA 96 and most local health codes. We clean to the bare metal — no shortcuts. Frequency is determined by your cooking volume and equipment type.

  • Hood Canopy Degreasing Full interior and exterior degreasing of the hood canopy using commercial-grade cleaning agents.
  • Filter Cleaning or Replacement Baffle filters are cleaned on-site or replaced with fresh media to restore full grease capture efficiency.
  • Plenum and Ductwork Cleaning Grease is removed from the plenum chamber and accessible ductwork runs to reduce fire risk throughout the system.
  • Exhaust Fan Service Fan blades, housing, and belts are inspected and degreased to maintain proper airflow and system performance.
  • NFPA 96 Inspection Report Every cleaning includes a written inspection report with before-and-after photos for your records and insurance file.
  • Grease Trap Servicing Grease collection containers are emptied and repositioned to prevent overflow between scheduled cleanings.

What Is Commercial Hood Cleaning? FAQs

In summary, NFPA 96 requires cleaning frequency based on cooking volume and equipment type: high-volume char-broil and solid-fuel operations require monthly cleaning, moderate-volume operations require quarterly cleaning, and low-volume or seasonal kitchens require semi-annual or annual cleaning. Colorado health departments and fire marshals enforce these intervals during inspections.

The short answer: hood cleaning costs in Colorado typically range based on system size, grease load, and cleaning frequency. Factors include the number of hood sections, duct run length, fan accessibility, and how long since the last cleaning. Hood Builder provides free on-site assessments so you receive an exact price before any work begins.

In practice, most hood cleaning services are scheduled after close or during off-peak hours so your kitchen operations are not disrupted. Hood Builder coordinates scheduling around your service hours and can work overnight or early morning to minimize any impact on your business.

In summary, every Hood Builder cleaning produces a written NFPA 96 inspection report with before-and-after photographs, a service sticker affixed to the hood, and a digital copy sent to your records. This documentation satisfies fire marshal and health department requirements and supports your insurance file.

In practice, Hood Builder cleans the complete exhaust system from the hood canopy through the plenum, ductwork, and exhaust fan. Cleaning only the visible hood canopy and leaving grease in the duct or fan does not meet NFPA 96 requirements and leaves significant fire hazard in the system.
