What is Commercial Hood Cleaning -- and Why Does it Matter
Your commercial kitchen exhaust hood captures grease-laden vapors, smoke, and heat that rise from your cooking equipment. Over time, grease accumulates on every interior surface — the canopy, the filters, the plenum, and the ductwork — creating a highly flammable coating that can ignite without warning.
NFPA 96 Compliance: NFPA 96 is the national standard that defines how and how often commercial kitchen exhaust systems must be cleaned. Most fire insurance policies reference this standard — meaning an uncleaned or poorly documented hood cleaning could result in a denied claim after a fire.
