Restaurant Hood Cleaning
If you are a contractor that does restaurant hood cleaning, (sometimes referred to as kitchen exhaust hood cleaning), or just pressure washing commercially, you have come to the right place. Here at Hood Cleaning Helper, my goal is to equip other professionals with the right tools to help them achieve success. We make a living in an industry that looks upon us as the bottom of the barrel and I plan on changing that, one contractor at a time.
Hood cleaning prices are all over the board across the country and this isn’t good for the customers we serve, nor our company’s long term success. While bidding on contracts, a restaurant owner may have one price as low as $70 then another in the thousands. How can two different companies be so far from each other on price when they are suppose to be doing the same scope of work? The truth is, it usually comes down to what is actually being cleaned. Company A may only clean the hood and Company B is cleaning the entire kitchen exhaust system from hood to fan.
Over the years of restaurant hood cleaning, I have seen very good work and I have seen work that made me embarrassed to call myself a hood cleaner. Sometimes bad hood cleanings happen because the contractor wasn’t properly trained or didn’t have the proper tools to clean the kitchen exhaust system from top to bottom to bare metal as suggested by the NFPA #96. Sometimes, they are just lazy. I can’t help with the former, but I intend to help those of you who are looking for help because you want to do the job correctly.
I plan on passing down the years of personal experience, learned knowledge, specialty tools, business forms and many other things that will build up this industry and help those of you who are in the restaurant hood cleaning business to stay.

I agree with the pricing issues, they are all over the place. Thanks for setting this up, it will be a great asset for hood cleaner for many years.
The hacks are pulling down the Phoenix market. We serviced a new location tonight where the owner said we’re the first to go on the roof. He was very happy with the before and afters he’ll be a customer for quite a while!
keep up the good work work!
I just re-start my business in the hood cleaning industry and I am please with this website, because it is important to provide the right knowledge to those who will do this kind of job. There are too many companies that know how to spray water to hood and fan, but they should know the risk those systems are in. Very irresponsible!!!!
Dear colleagues,
It´s very interesting for me to read and to learn from you, but I´d like to have the chance to give you feedback from my experience as especialized in manufacturing duct cleaning machinery. Our grease cleaning method is different than I´ve seen across USA and Europe. We combine at once 4 factors: chemical action, mechanical action, hot temperarute and time. We do not use water pressure neither vacuum system: we dilute the grease and our technology would allow you also check the results of complete duct cleaning thanks to the videoinspection device that you can add to brushing system.
Many question in the head? Visit http://www.teinnova.net by entering in Tegras line equipment and learn about Tegras Concept: the best way to remove the grease in kitchens (duct, hoods, extractor, filters, pans and other tools). We are located in Spain. The web will be available in English version in October.
Thanks to everyone.

Nice article. Very informative and I totally agree with it word for word. I am starting a cleaning business melbourne
which is near me in Austrailia and I would like to find some good starting equipment.
What a blessing somebody that cares about somebody who does a good hood cleaning job. That takes the time and has the patience to do it the right way the first time so it doesn’t have to be done the second time. I dedicated my life to hood cleaning. So this is a great opportunity.
