These guys are fantastic!! Had a hiccup with our last clean but they adjusted to make things work for us. I can think of multiple companies that would have just left and told us to figure it out. Awesome service!!!

What Happens When Hood Cleaning Is Delayed in Chicago
Commercial kitchens in Chicago must meet strict fire and safety regulations. When grease accumulates inside your hood and exhaust system, the risks increase quickly.
Common problems caused by neglected hood systems include:
Fire Hazards
Grease buildup inside ductwork and exhaust fans is highly flammable and a leading cause of commercial kitchen fires.
Failed Inspections
Chicago fire and health departments require proper exhaust system maintenance for commercial kitchens.
Poor Ventilation
Smoke and heat remain trapped in the kitchen when airflow becomes restricted.
Lingering Odors
Old grease buildup creates strong odors that affect staff and guests.
Equipment Damage
Dirty exhaust systems strain fan motors and reduce equipment lifespan. Routine cleaning prevents costly repairs.
More Than Surface Cleaning
Professional hood cleaning removes grease and carbon buildup from the entire exhaust system, not just visible surfaces. Proper service includes cleaning the hood canopy, accessible ductwork, exhaust fans, filters, and surrounding components.
Surface wiping alone does not reduce fire risk. Thorough cleaning protects your kitchen long term and helps maintain safe ventilation.
