Correct Clean provides certified and professional hood cleaning services in the Los Angeles area. Our team of expert technicians specializes in deep-cleaning entire exhaust systems, from the restaurant duct work to the exhaust fan, ensuring all built-up grease is removed down to the bare metal. This meticulous grease removal process is vital for preventing dangerous fires, as we strictly follow the NFPA 96 national standard for ventilation and fire safety. Correct Clean is certified to NFPA 96 and IKECA C-10 standards. By choosing our services, you can be confident you're getting a certified hood cleaning that keeps your kitchen safe and compliant with all regulations.

Our new clients frequently ask us how often their systems need preventative maintenance during inspection. Compliance with NFPA 96 is crucial for commercial kitchen safety and operations. This standard establishes the minimum frequency for kitchen exhaust cleanings; however, some local jurisdictions may require more frequent service. Failing to meet these standards can lead to severe consequences, including forced closure by a Fire Marshal, significant property damage or loss from a fire, and the denial of any related property damage claims by your insurance company.

Bottom line: Frequency depends on your cooking volume. The type of oil you use and your cooking style will affect how long you can go before your next clean. For instance, a charcoal smoker in a moderately busy BBQ restaurant may need the hood and plenum riser cleaned once a month due to the solid fuel operations. Another example is a high-volume Chinese restaurant's (due to the oil and volume of oil laden vapors) system may need monthly cleaning and filters cleaned bi-weekly. Putting off hood cleaning is not only dangerous but, it will cost you more money and wear out your fans.

Correct Clean works with every customer's needs. Some clients wipe their hoods down daily and soak their filters overnight. In these high-volume situations where the clients perform daily maintenance, we are able to significantly adjust pricing, so it makes sense to proactively keep your exhaust system clean. We also are willing to work with each client of frequency. While we recommend professional service intervals on all of our inspections, it is ultimately the building owner's responsibility to determine and perform cleanings in accordance with the NFPA 96 standard. It is crucial that the frequency a client chooses is maintained and the certificate on the hood is current as this is the first thing a Fire Marshal or Health Inspector looks at when evaluating if equipment in a commercial kitchen is being properly maintained. A dead giveaway is an out of service sticker on the hood, fire suppression system and on the kitchen fire extinguisher. Correct Clean offers its client flexibility on finding the sweat spot and maintaining their kitchen exhaust system year round.
