Dirty Hoods Can Shut Your Kitchen Down — Here’s What You’re Risking
Running a commercial kitchen takes work. But when your exhaust hood gets dirty, you could run into big trouble. These are the top issues we help restaurant owners avoid with regular kitchen hood maintenance:
Fire Hazards
Grease builds up fast in hood systems. If it gets too thick, one spark could start a fire that puts your staff at risk.
Health Code Violations
Health inspectors check hoods for grease and dirt. If they’re not clean, you could face penalties until they’re cleaned.
Greasy Smells
Greasy hoods can make your kitchen smell bad. These smells can make the kitchen unpleasant.
Ventilation Issues
A clogged hood stops the air from moving right. This makes your kitchen stuffier, and tough on your staff.
Broken Fans and Filters
Dirty hoods wear down your fans and filters. Over time, this can damage your equipment.
Fewer Customers
Customers notice when a kitchen looks or smells dirty. A bad experience means lost sales and less business over time.
