At Your Service
The exhaust system is much more than what you see inside the hood in the kitchen. Proper cleaning entails cleaning the motor and ducts on the roof, for example, using a combination of chemicals, scraping and steam washing. Great care must also be given to clean yet not offset the fire suppression system (e.g., fuselinks). Because of these conditions, NFPA guidelines stipulate that an “outside, certified provider shall clean the system”.
