California Hood Cleaning

Hundreds of restaurants open each year throughout California. With each new restaurant comes the need for quality hood, duct and fan cleaning services to prevent fire-related damages.

American Professional Services (APS-Hoods) is recognized for its restaurant hood cleaning services in California and nationwide as an industry leader. Kitchen grease build-up presents a serious fire hazard that must be removed with special chemicals and high-powered machinery used by trained professionals. Routine cleaning and maintenance to eliminate this build-up is one of the simplest ways to maintain safety in commercial kitchens.

APS-Hoods will save you time and money with our state-of-the-art hood cleaning systems. Our protocols meet our personal code of ethics, as well as local, state and national standards, including National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 96, which details the minimum fire safety requirements related to kitchen operations.

Our fully integrated services include:

Scheduled steam cleaning, pressure washing and servicing of hoods, ducts, plenum, grease removal devices and rooftop exhaust fans.
Providing a complete report to the customer after each cleaning.
Random, post-cleaning inspections by our expert staff to NFPA standards.

The trained, certified experts at American Professional Services will clean your kitchen systems to a like-new state and will ensure these systems are in excellent working order.

Restaurant kitchen cleaning schedules are different, based on the type of equipment used and the volume of food cooked by various methods. Some "rules of thumb" restaurants can follow to gauge how often to undergo thorough cleanings are:

No restaurant should go longer than six months between cleanings.
Restaurants that use deep fryers in their kitchens should clean hoods, ducts and fans every three months.
Restaurants that cook with smokehouses or wood fires should undergo monthly cleanings at a minimum. Many restaurants that use wood fires clean their systems every two weeks, due to excessive build-up of combustible residue that can fuel kitchen fires.
For Chinese restaurants, which tend to use a great deal of vegetable oils in their cooking processes, kitchen systems should be cleaned every three months at a minimum. When vegetable oil grease is left to build up, it becomes “glue-like” and removing it is a difficult task.

APS-Hoods provides restaurant hood, fan and duct cleaning services throughout California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, Santa Ana, Riverside, Corona, Oceanside, Encinitas, Tijuana, Santa Monica, San Francisco and Malibu.
