A thorough Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning checklist ensures that every part of the kitchen exhaust system is properly maintained. Regular cleaning keeps your kitchen compliant, efficient, and safe from fire hazards. A detailed checklist also ensures no component is overlooked during the process.
The hood, filters, ducts, fans, and roof exhaust areas all collect grease. If neglected, these areas can accumulate flammable deposits. A complete cleaning schedule helps prevent this buildup and keeps airflow consistent throughout the system.
