Don’t Let a Dirty Hood Shut You Down — Here’s What You’re Risking
Running a kitchen is already hard enough. But when your exhaust hood gets dirty, problems start stacking up. These are the top issues we help restaurant owners avoid with regular hood cleaning:
Risk of Fire
Grease builds up fast in hood systems. If it gets too thick, it can catch fire easily that shuts down your business.
Health Code Violations
Health inspectors check hoods for grease and dirt. If they’re not clean, you could be forced to close until they’re cleaned.
Bad Smells
Odors build up when hoods aren’t cleaned. These smells can push customers away.
Poor Air Flow
A clogged hood won’t work like it should. This makes your kitchen hotter, and harder to work in.
Equipment Damage
When grease clogs the system, it puts stress on your equipment. Over time, this can damage your equipment.
Fewer Customers
Customers notice when a kitchen looks or smells dirty. A bad experience means lower ratings and poor word of mouth.
