Cafeteria Hood Cleaning
Every type of commercial cooking establishment across the country abides by the same health codes and standards. One of these requirements is that the hoods above all cooking equipment are cleaned regularly. You may only think of fast-food and sit-down restaurants needing hood cleaning services, but, in fact, every commercial kitchen should have its hoods cleaned from time to time. Cafeterias are no exception. Cafeteria hood cleaning is one of the many services we offer to downtown Houston and the surrounding areas. Cafeterias cook many different kinds of food on a weekly basis. Frying foods results in excess grease and smoke being pulled up into the hood and through the duct system.
Cafeteria Kitchen Hood Cleaning
Chinese cooking leaves behind a sticky residue, and with charbroiling, charcoal, or wood-burning ovens, soot and ash. Even baking and sautéing can give off tiny particles that you don’t want hanging around. For this reason, cafeterias should have their kitchen hoods cleaned often, but how often is enough? The U.S. government has regulated this so that all cafeterias, restaurants, hospitals, and every other commercial kitchen is held to the same standard. For the average employee or school cafeterias, you should have professional cafeteria hood cleaning services done once every 3 months. The hoods above non-grease cooking equipment, such as soup vats, only need to be cleaned once a year.

Commercial Hood Cleaning Certification
Grease build-up in your exhaust system can ignite with very little encouragement. Clean hoods, ducts, filters, and fans can make the difference between an inconsequential kitchen accident and a fire that burns your establishment to the ground. Cafeteria hood cleaning is, therefore, the most important thing you can do to protect your cafeteria’s kitchen from the dangerous possibility of fire. Not only is it the law, but it’s an invaluable safety measure.
The newer your cafeteria is, the more likely it is to have certain safety measures in the exhaust system which will help contain a grease fire, but, in our opinion, it’s much better to know that your exhaust system, from hoods to ducts to fans, is as clean as it can be at all times and highly unlikely to promote a fire.
