Certified Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

Commercial hood cleaning, certified to NFPA 96

IKECA-certified technicians clean your entire exhaust system down to bare metal: hood, filters, ductwork, and fan. Certified to NFPA 96 and IMC, in compliance with Oregon and Washington fire departments, and accepted by insurers and health departments.

What's Included

Rooftop to stovetop, the whole system

Why It Matters

This is fire prevention, not housekeeping

Grease-laden vapor condenses inside the exhaust system every hour you cook. NFPA 96 exists because that buildup is fuel sitting above open flame.

Your fire marshal asks for it

Oregon and Washington fire departments require certified exhaust cleaning on a set schedule based on your cooking volume.

Your insurer expects it

Certified cleaning satisfies insurance company requirements for periodic cleaning of the kitchen exhaust system.

Your health inspector checks it

Periodic exhaust cleaning is part of health department requirements too. One certified vendor covers all three.

Your equipment lasts longer

A clean system moves air the way it was designed to, which keeps heat and smoke off your line and strain off your fan.

Common Questions

Hood cleaning questions, answered straight

How often does my hood need professional cleaning?

NFPA 96 sets the schedule by cooking type: monthly for solid fuel, quarterly for high-volume cooking, semi-annually for moderate volume, and annually for low-volume kitchens. Tell us what you cook and we will tell you where you fall.

Will cleaning interrupt my kitchen?

No. We schedule around your operation, including overnight, and we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What proof do I get for the fire marshal and my insurance company?

Our cleaning is certified to NFPA 96 and IMC and satisfies fire department, insurance, and health department requirements for periodic exhaust cleaning.

Do you clean the whole duct or just what's reachable?

The whole system, rooftop to stovetop. Where a duct run cannot be reached, we install access panels so every foot gets cleaned.
