You’ve probably heard before that exhaust hood systems are one of the most important parts of a restaurant kitchen. They pull smoke, heat and odor up from cooking surfaces, into the hood, and then exhaust it to the outside. Not only does this protect employees and make the kitchen more comfortable, it also protects the restaurant facility.

And this buildup can lead to potentially dangerous situations. That’s why exhaust hood cleaning is so crucial to every restaurant ventilation system.
