Hand scraping is best for kitchen exhaust hood cleaning Burbank CA because the exhaust hood is usually heaviest hit by grease deposits. You can get it hand scraped frequently at a reasonable price. Steam cleaning is best reserved for deep cleanings several times per year, to reach into the nooks and crannies of the exhaust ducts where grease build up occurs more slowly.

We Can Help You Schedule Cleanings for Maximum Efficiency

While all commercial kitchens are required to get kitchen exhaust hood cleaning Burbank CA, different kitchens will require cleaning at different intervals, depending on how fast grease builds up in their system. The primary factors affecting the speed of grease build up are the type and volume of food prepared and the method of cooking. Naturally kitchens that fry lots of food will require more cleaning than those that specialize in raw foods or vegetarian dishes. In order to make sure you don’t spend money on unnecessary cleanings, Flue Steam will measure your grease deposits before we clean. Eventually, we should be able to predict how long it will take for your grease deposits to build up to dangerous levels and schedule cleanings accordingly for maximum cost-efficiency.
