Plenty of people who manage and work in kitchens think that they’re doing a good job cleaning the oil and vaporized grease from their kitchens. But the sad fact is, if you’re not relying on a professional commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning company, you could be at risk of having a flash fire. Just check out this video from Gordon Ramsay’s show, “24 Hours to Hell and Back”, season 1 episode 3 at Brownstone Bistro: Pay especially close attention from the 16m12s mark to 17m37s.

Yikes

You’ll see that there’s so much more to cleaning a commercial kitchen than simply wiping down the appliances. This commercial kitchen was absolutely full of grease throughout the exhaust system and as Ramsay notes, the whole thing could go up in flames. This is tremendously dangerous and not up to code in the least.

How clean is your commercial kitchen’s exhaust system? If your staff isn’t taking stringent measures to clean it on a regular basis, your entire commercial kitchen could be at risk of going up in flames, just like the one at Brownstone Bistro.

In commercial kitchens, your exhaust fan is an essential part of your exhaust system. It removes hot air and odors from your kitchen, plus it safely eliminates vaporized grease, which is a natural byproduct of cooking. If your exhaust fan isn’t cleaned regularly and in proper working condition at all times, it won’t draw properly, so it won’t be able to do its job well. As a result, grease will quickly built up in your commercial kitchen’s exhaust system and your risk of a flash fire within your exhaust ducts will increase dramatically. A flash fire could result in injuries to your staff, serious damage to your kitchen, and a huge interruption to the flow of your business. Avoid flash fires by always making sure your exhaust fan is able to draw properly.
