Clean filters weekly (in-house). Schedule full hood and duct cleaning per fire code. Photograph before and after each professional clean. Retain certificates for insurance.
A scheduled cleaning checklist for kitchen managers and professional hood cleaning crews maintaining the kitchen exhaust system. Covers filter removal and degreasing, hood interior scraping and washing, ductwork access panel inspection, exhaust fan cleaning, grease containment and collection, and fire suppression system visual inspection during the cleaning process.
Grease build-up in kitchen exhaust systems is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires. Insurance policies and fire codes require regular hood cleaning — typically quarterly for high-volume cooking or semi-annually for moderate use. This checklist documents the cleaning scope and identifies fire safety concerns that require professional attention.
