Florida Hood Cleaning Text

At American Professional Services, we firmly believe one of the most important elements of keeping Florida restaurants safe from potential fires is implementing a routine kitchen cleaning schedule.

Each restaurant is different, based on the type of equipment used and the volume of food cooked by various methods. Some "rules of thumb" restaurants can use to determine how often to undergo thorough cleanings are:

Any restaurant kitchen should go no longer than six months between cleanings
Restaurants that use deep fryers in their kitchens should clean hoods, ducts and fans every three months
Restaurants cooking 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 is difficult to remove.

When grease builds up in commercial kitchens, it creates a serious fire hazard. That grease must be removed by trained professionals with special chemicals and high-powered machinery. Routine cleaning and maintenance to eradicate this build-up is an easy way to keep commercial kitchens safe
