Kitchen Hood And Exaust Cleaning

If you own a restaurant, saving lots of money and the life of that restaurant can come down to taking cleaning and maintenance seriously. One of the most critical aspects of restaurant maintenance is compliance with the NFPA #96 standards for kitchen hood and exhaust cleaning.

Because this is such an important service, it’s best to go with the most reputable cleaning company rather than one offering the lowest bid. Experience and attention to detail are necessary for effective and safe kitchen hood and exhaust maintenance for several reasons:

1) Staying compliant with fire codes and keeping inspectors off your back
2) Preventing fire from spreading through a duct and onto the roof
3) Keeping your restaurant environment safe for patrons and employees
4) Providing clean, odor-free air for patrons and employees through proper airflow in your kitchen
5) Maintaining your reputation for quality
6) Improved health standards
7) Minimized product contamination
8) Energy cost savings
9) Improved government ratings
10) Boost to public image

This type of cleaning should go far above and beyond just cleaning visible grease and residue. When choosing your kitchen hood cleaning company, make sure they will provide the following level of service:

1) Removal of filters for proper cleaning of plenum walls, filter frames and fire suppression equipment
2) Scraping and brushing interior surfaces of all ductwork
3) Hot, high-pressure washing of all fan blades and other fan components
4) Thorough louver and damper cleaning
5) Proper replacement of filters and dampers to their original positions
6) Checking for any possible system blockage
7) Placement of a decal on your kitchen hood(s) showing proof of service to inspectors

In addition, make sure you take time to inspect the completed work and educate yourself on what a clean and safe kitchen hood and exhaust system looks like. You may even want to take pictures of your serviced kitchen for proof of compliance.

Restaurant Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Commercial Buildings Maintenance Inc cleans restaurants small and large. CBM is the restaurant cleaning outsourcing provider for Fortune 500 restaurant chains in 11 NE States and operates in Los Angeles California

Restaurant Kitchen Hood Cleaning

64% of all restaurant fires can be linked to grease and oil. One of the key places that collect grease and oil is your hood vent. The proper cleaning and maintenance of this apparatus is imperative and can go a long way to assuring safety in your restaurant. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) considers proper ventilation procedures important enough to devote Standard 96 to spelling them out.

Fires that start in a vent hood are especially challenging, because the vent system feeds the fire the very thing that fans the flame: oxygen. Once the fire has started, it is just a sprint away from the ducts above and the roof.  Entire restaurants have burned to the ground when a fire started in the ventilation system.

Proper, professional cleaning of your exhaust system should be scheduled no less than twice per year. This assures:
“    The proper ventilation of your kitchen
“    Compliance with local fire codes
“    The health and safety of your customers and staff
“    And protection from a costly and potentially deadly fire
“    Not to mention a happy Fire Marshall
Professional cleaners, in this situation just make good sense. Unschooled cleaning crews will probably just clean what they can see from the ground and what they can easily reach. Without thorough cleaning as specified by the National Fire Protection Association, money is wasted on an inadequate job which only gives the appearance of taking care of the problem. The real danger still lurks inside the vents, ready to cause an accidental fire, possible injury or death, and lost revenue.
Don’t leave your restaurant’s safety to chance. Commercial Buildings Maintenance complies with NFSA 96 Standards and will clean your hood vent as well as other areas of your kitchen at a reasonable cost. No job is too big, no standard too high. Choose Commercial Buildings Maintenance and your cleaning cares are over.

Restaurant Commercial Cleaning

Restaurants are one of the most active businesses you can run. There is no lack of projects to fill up work hours and beyond. By their very nature, restaurants have a great need for effective, comprehensive cleaning routines.

Sanitation tasks can be broken into routines performed yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly and as needed. Failing to perform these tasks can result in lost customers, lost licenses and in sickness and even death. Your kitchen, bussing and wait staff perform some of the cleaning tasks, as part of their daily routine, but when it comes to the kind of cleaning that addresses the intense requirements of airborne grease from fryers, soot from grills along with accumulated dirt and dust from customer traffic, many managers turn to the services of a professional cleaning crew.

Assuming you worked your way up through the ranks to management, you undoubtedly can remember late nights with a mop bucket. Be honest. What would you have done to avoid that dance with gray water and cotton string mops? How much more productive would your cook staff be if they were allowed to do what they were hired for???Cook!
Corporate Managers of major restaurant chains who have turned to commercial cleaning have been rewarded in reduced staff turnover, increased productivity and superior customer satisfaction. Cooks are paid pretty much the same, wherever they go. Your cook staff could quit and go across the street without damaging their income. Cutting the most odious jobs from their daily routine is a great way to make sure that your staff never wants to leave. In fact it would be a strong enticement to steal the competition’s best performers.

The fact that commercial cleaning crews are trained and specialize in cleaning and perform these chores everyday means that they are more efficient, and perform cleaning tasks in a fraction of the time it would take a nonprofessional. They have the ability to organize cleaning and maintenance into a well-oiled machine that makes your restaurant, and your crew shine. Choosing a commercial cleaning crew allows professionals to do what they do best. Cleaners clean, cooks cook, hosts and hostesses make sure the customers are happy. Hiring professional cleaning crews translate in your employees spending more time performing the tasks that make you money, make your customers smile, and attract more cash to your bottom line.

Atlantic Restaurant Cleaning Division

Commercial Buildings Maintenance Inc just added 5 new North East States to the total number of states we handle the restaurant cleaning outsourcing to.
Major restaurant chains, Fortune 500 restaurants outsource the janitorial services to us, they even outsource non kitchen labor areas to us, keeping their staff focused on creating a quality food service product and keeping employee moral/ job satisfaction high without having to increase the wages of their kitchen staff.

Think about it, if your employees knew if they changed jobs and went to an other restaurant, they’d make similar salaries but if they worked for your restaurant they wouldn’t have to clean… what do you think that would do for your employee turnaround?

Why Outsource Commercial Cleaning in Your Restaurant?

Customers will know the difference.

Before ever sitting down to eat, let alone being served, diners take in their surroundings when they walk into a restaurant. It could be their first visit or their hundredth, they could be aiming for a nice family dinner or quick, satisfying bite while traveling; regardless, beyond the décor, these guests will notice something far more important: the cleanliness.

Cleanliness can make or break the reputation of the restaurant, and yet typically little time goes into training restaurant employees on proper cleaning methods, and few establishments hire commercial cleaning companies because they don’t realize the benefit they can bring.

Hired as servers, cooks, hosts and hostesses, the employees are expected to know how to clean. Cleaning becomes something employers pass off as general knowledge, something everyone should know how to do because everyone has had experience cleaning, to some degree.

But what if it were someone’s job to clean, and they were trained specifically to clean thoroughly, to know how to inspect their areas, and to do the best job that could be done? Imagine that person was trained to know the difference between various cleaning products, which ones to use, which ones work best, and how to properly use them to get their full benefits?

Not things the chef need worry about. Let’s face it, what chef wants to go from sautéing a dish of vegetables to dabbling through bottles of cleaner? What hostess, excelling at being friendly to customers and making them feel at home, wants to finish off work each night scrubbing the floors, a solitary, repetitive job that doesn’t fit their personality?

The guests, if it were up to them, probably wouldn’t want it that way, and yet most restaurant owners and managers assume that’s the way it should be. Some have wised up to realize they can hire outside commercial cleaning services to take the burden off their own employees. Not to mention, hired commercial cleaners are guaranteed to do a better job.

Commercial cleaning employees make it their job to clean thoroughly (after all, that’s what they’re there to do — not serve food or drinks), but, and sometimes more importantly, they also know how to clean items that your everyday person has no idea how to attempt, like scary food stains and oils.

And let’s not forget the food critics.

Points get knocked immediately if your restaurant isn’t up to par, and that always includes cleanliness.

We’re taught from a young age that it’s OK to ask for help, and then we have to re-learn it later in life. It’s typical to expect a lot from an employee, even at minimum wage — and high turnover rates are typical, too, in the restaurant business especially — which, of course, leads to more money spent on hiring and training new employees. Restaurant managers can hand them the mop, but every time that will mean biting off more than they can chew.
