The importante of Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Kitchen Hoods are designed to remove grease and smoke from cooking surfaces, improving air quality and reducing the risk of fires. However, when kitchen hoods are not properly cleaned, they can become clogged with grease, creating a fire hazard.

In New York, Kitchen hood cleaning is mandated by law. The New York City department (FDNY) requires commercial kitchens to clean their hoods regularly to prevent a grease buildup which can lead to serious damage in your restaurant or hotel.
