Breckenridge, CO - Colorado ski season is over and busy restaurant owners are finding time for a little shop maintenance and house cleaning chores. According to APS-hoods, April and May tend to be the most convenient time of the year for scheduling a hood cleaning service in Colorado’s ski resorts and the surrounding towns. Hood cleaning can also be quite crucial at this time of the year due to fire safety precautions.

Ski season is officially over no later than mid May, and a lot of restaurants are quite past due in the hood cleaning department. “Colorado ski towns like Breckenridge, see some of the heaviest cooking volume amongst our customers and many can be classified as fire hazards by the end of April.” Said Massoud Farazandeh, APS-hoods chief executive. APS advises customers not to delay their hood cleaning till April and observe their recommended cleaning cycle. For the many restaurants that have waited for over six months however, APS recommends an immediate service scheduling.

“Spring cleaning is desired by our Breckenridge hood cleaning customers because they are less busy during this season and their kitchen exhaust system are noticeably in need of the service.” Remarked Mr. Farazandeh. It is for this reason that APS staff expects a large influx of calls from Breckenridge customers, approximately 12% of whom are new customers.

APS has been providing exhaust hood cleaning service to Breckenridge and other Colorado mountain towns for over twenty years, and its records indicate a regular cleaning pattern in these areas. “Scheduling is delayed during the cold season by restaurant owners as much as possible. They are often concerned with the weather conditions. The main reason however, is the fear of losing business during the hours of kitchen closure due to the hood cleaning.” Said Hossein Hashemi, APS director of marketing. All of this is solved in the spring as business prepare for summer tourism.
