Why kitchen hood cleaning matters: the grease you can't see
Filters catch most of the grease, but not all of it. The rest coats the plenum behind the filters. It runs down the inside of the duct and collects in the fan on the roof. A flare-up on the cook line can pull fire straight into it.
That's why fire code (NFPA 96) requires the whole exhaust system to be cleaned on a schedule. It's also why fire inspectors and insurers look for a current service label on your hood. These photos show what our crews find inside systems that are overdue.

Restaurants make up about half of our customers. We also clean employee cafeterias on some of the Bay Area's largest tech and biotech campuses.
How often should a kitchen hood be cleaned?
NFPA 96 is the fire code standard for commercial kitchen exhaust. It sets how often your system must be cleaned, based on what you cook and how much. Your local fire marshal can require more. The next due date goes on your hood label and your report.
| Kitchen type | Clean every |
|---|---|
| Solid fuel (wood or charcoal) | Month |
| High volume (24-hour, charbroiling, woks) | 3 months |
| Moderate volume (most restaurants) | 6 months |
| Low volume (churches, seasonal, day camps) | 12 months |

Common questions
How often does a commercial kitchen hood need to be cleaned?
Fire code (NFPA 96) sets the schedule by cooking type and volume. Wood or charcoal cooking needs monthly cleaning. High-volume kitchens need it every three months, most restaurants every six months, and low-volume kitchens once a year. Your fire marshal can require more often.
Do you clean at night?
Yes. Most restaurants are cleaned after closing, often overnight. Corporate cafeterias are usually cleaned early in the morning. We work around your hours so you don't lose a service.
What's included in a kitchen hood cleaning?
The whole exhaust system: hood canopy, plenum (the chamber behind the filters), baffle filters, ductwork and the exhaust fan on the roof. We protect the cook line and roof and contain the wash water. Then we put everything back and leave a dated service label on the hood.
Will I get proof of cleaning for the fire marshal or my insurance?
Yes. Every job gets a dated service label on the hood showing the next service due. You also get a service report with photos of the work. Anything we couldn't reach, or that needs repair, is on the report.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Miguel's Steam Cleaning, Inc. holds California contractor license #922991 (C-61/D-38). We're bonded and carry workers' compensation insurance. You can check the license on the Contractors State License Board website.
