Hoods are your kitchen’s first line of defense against smoke, greasy grime and odors. They keep your food safe and help you comply with health and safety regulations. However, they can also be a fire hazard. Grease buildup in the hood, vents, fans, and ductwork can create hazardous conditions, sparking kitchen fires. These fires can quickly spread and cause serious damage. To ensure that your restaurant’s exhaust system is functioning properly, it needs regular maintenance and cleaning.

How Often Should You Schedule Vent Hood Cleaning? Expert Tips from Hood Safe LLC

Regularly cleaning your range hood and filters in Detroit, MI is the best way to avoid clogs and fire hazards. Begin by dusting off all surfaces with a duster or dry cloth, then remove the filter and soak it in a mixture of hot water, dish soap, and baking soda. Scrub it until all grease is gone, and rinse the filter and put it back in place. If you find that troublesome grease spots aren’t responding to scrubbing, try a baking soda paste. Mix one part baking soda with three parts warm water to make a thick paste. Apply it to grease spots, let it sit for a half hour, then wash off with a damp cloth or sponge.

An experienced professional will thoroughly clean the outside of your hood, inside and out. They’ll also inspect your kitchen exhaust system to identify anything that needs repair or replacement. After completing the cleaning, they’ll apply the mandatory NFPA 96 inspection sticker to your hood. This will let fire inspectors, the health department, and even your insurance agent know that your kitchen is compliant.
