what & why kitchen exhaust cleaning?
It is the process of removing grease that has accumulated inside the ducts, hood, fans, and vents of the exhaust system. Left uncleaned kitchen exhaust systems can accumulate enough grease to become a fire hazard.
how often should the kitchen exhaust be cleaned?
According to the International Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association, routine commercial exhaust cleanings vary based on the following:
A system serving solid fuel cooking operation should be cleaned monthly
A system serving a high volume cooking operation i.e. 24 hour facility should be cleaned quarterly
A system serving moderate volume cooking operation should be cleaned semi-annually

According to the National Fire and Protection Association, the majority of restaurant fires are caused on the cooking appliance and flare into the exhaust system.
