As a restaurant owner or manager you know the importance of a cleanly kitchen. One of the most notorious places for grease and grime to accumulate is on the kitchen hood. The hood can get greasy and grimy rather quickly. Unfortunately, the hood is one of the most difficult places for your employees to clean. That is why it is necessary to get professional restaurant kitchen hood cleaning in Pittsburgh.

Hood and Exhaust Cleaning

One of the most difficult parts of a commercial to clean is the hood. The hood and exhaust system accumulates a lot of dirt. The dirt is a mixture of grease, smoke and other substances that are part of the cooking process. The hood needs to be cleaned on a regular basis. It not only holds dirt but it can cause a fire.

A dirty hood and exhaust could also result in a failed inspection or fines. It also contributes to a poor appearance in the kitchen. One of the last things you want to have to worry about is restaurant kitchen hood cleaning in Pittsburgh. Your employees don’t have the time, energy or expertise to properly clean the hood and exhaust system.

It is best to use environmentally safe chemicals for cleaning the restaurant hood. The chemicals need to be strong enough to cut through the grease yet safe for use. The National Fire Protection Association, NFPA, has codes and standards that must be met. When you have your kitchen hood cleaned you need to make sure that it meets or exceeds these codes.
