Hood Cleaning FAQ

What are the risks of not completing regular hood cleanings?

Neglecting regular hood cleaning in a commercial kitchen can lead to serious risks and consequences. When grease, smoke, and airborne particles build up in the exhaust system, they create an extremely flammable setting, greatly raising the chances of a fire. A clogged and poorly maintained hood can reduce the efficiency of your ventilation system, leading to poor indoor air quality and an unhealthy work environment for your staff. Exposure to these conditions can cause respiratory and other health issues. Non-compliance with local fire and health codes can result in fines, penalties, or the closure of your restaurant.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes, our Napa technicians at Apex Hood Cleaning are licensed and insured. We take the safety and satisfaction of our clients very seriously, which is why we only hire technicians who are fully trained and qualified to perform hood cleaning services in a professional and safe manner. Our team members are also insured to protect our clients in case of any accidents or damages during the cleaning process. You can trust us to provide high-quality and safe cleaning services for your Napa commercial kitchen hood.

How often should a restaurant hood be cleaned?

You may need more frequent cleanings depending on how often you’re cooking and the type of fuel you use. For instance, Napa area restaurants will need quarterly cleanings, while some less busy establishments, such as hospital kitchens, can opt for a more spaced-out cleaning schedule – every 6 months. Kitchens that do not build up much grease, such as senior centers, churches, and seasonal locations, can be serviced yearly. Any establishments using solid fuel (wood, charcoal) need a monthly cleaning.
