Keeping commercial kitchens safe and compliant starts with understanding how often your kitchen hoods and extraction systems need cleaning. The right schedule depends on how much your kitchen is used and how much grease and airborne residue it produces during cooking.
Kitchens can generally be grouped into three levels of use: light, medium, and high.
LIGHT USE
Up to 6 Hours Daily
No significant production of grease laden aerosols during normal daily food production operations.
Cleaning Frequency: Annually
MEDIUM USE
6 - 12 Hours Daily
Moderate production of grease laden aerosols during normal daily food production operations.
Cleaning Frequency: 6 Monthly
HIGH USE
12+ Hours Daily
Heavy or continual production of grease laden aerosols during normal daily food production operations.
Cleaning Frequency: 3 Monthly
