Kitchen exhaust problems we clean up in Naperville
We clean commercial kitchen exhaust in Naperville on the schedule NFPA 96 sets for your cooking volume. That means scraping and degreasing the hood, ducts and roof fan, photographing what we cleaned and telling you about any access or fan problems we find along the way.
Fire inspector asked for proof of cleaning
Fire inspectors look for a current cleaning certificate on the hood. If yours is missing or out of date, we clean the system and post a new dated sticker with a written report.
Insurance carrier requires a cleaning record
Underwriters and property managers want to see the cleaning history. We give you paperwork after each service you can file and forward.
Cleaning can't interrupt service
Hood cleaning is scheduled after closing. We set up, clean, rinse and leave the kitchen ready for prep.
Unsure how often to clean
How often depends on what and how much you cook. Wood or charcoal cooking calls for the shortest interval; a low-volume kitchen may only need yearly cleaning.
Hinged fan or access panels missing
We report missing hinges and access points with photos, so you can have them added and get a complete cleaning next time.
Smoke lingering in the kitchen
Smoke that hangs over the line often comes from clogged filters, a dirty fan wheel or a slipping belt. Cleaning restores airflow; we point out fan problems if we see them.
Duct sections nobody has cleaned
Grease collects in elbows and long horizontal runs. We clean every section we can reach and note any that need access panels added.
Scope of work
- Prep and protectionEquipment under the hood is covered, gas pilots handled per your staff and runoff contained in plastic.
- Hood and plenumEverything behind the filters cleaned, including the plenum and drip gutters.
- Grease ductWe scrape and wash the duct runs we can reach and note sections without access.
- Rinse and wipe-downSurfaces rinsed, the hood polished and the cook line wiped down after the cover comes off.

- Certificate and service reportThe post-cleaning sticker and a report covering areas cleaned, areas inaccessible and issues found.
- Recurring scheduleWe set the next visit based on your cooking volume and remind you before it is due.

Commercial Hood Cleaning questions from Naperville businesses
Do you clean school, church and daycare kitchens?
Yes, and we can time the visit for school breaks or days the building is quiet.
How often do restaurant hoods need to be cleaned?
It depends on what you cook and how much. Wood or charcoal cooking means monthly; high-volume operations are usually quarterly; moderate ones twice a year; low-volume ones once a year.
What is the hood cleaning sticker?
After each cleaning we put a sticker on the hood with the service date, so inspectors and insurers can see it's current.
What if part of the duct can't be reached?
We report it with photos and recommend access panels so the next cleaning can reach it.
Can my staff clean the hood themselves?
Daily and weekly filter washing is a staff job. Cleaning the duct and roof fan to bare metal is a professional service.
