Kitchen Confidential: Your Burning Questions Answered
Q: How often should I have my kitchen hood exhaust system cleaned? A: The frequency depends on your kitchen's volume and type of cooking. High-volume operations or those using solid fuels may need monthly cleaning, while lower-volume kitchens might require quarterly cleaning. We recommend a free inspection to determine your specific needs.
Q: How long does the cleaning process take? A: The duration varies depending on the size and condition of your system. On average, a thorough cleaning takes 3-5 hours. We can work during off-hours to minimize disruption to your operations.
Q: What are the risks of not cleaning my exhaust system regularly? A: Neglecting regular cleaning increases the risk of grease fires, violates fire codes, reduces system efficiency, and can lead to foul odors and unsanitary conditions. It also puts you at risk of failing health inspections and incurring fines.
Q: Will the cleaning process disrupt my kitchen operations? A: We strive to minimize disruption by offering flexible scheduling, including night and weekend services. Our efficient process and experienced team ensure we complete the job as quickly as possible without compromising on quality.
Q: How can I tell if my current cleaning service is doing a thorough job? A: Signs of inadequate cleaning include visible grease buildup, strong odors, or poor ventilation. Our free inspection service can provide a professional assessment of your system's cleanliness and identify any overlooked areas.
