How to prepare your kitchen for hood cleaning

A little preparation keeps the job quick and means nothing gets skipped.

The day before

  • Confirm the arrival time and how long they need
  • Tell staff to finish closing tasks early
  • Plan roof access for the exhaust fan

Before the crew arrives

  • Turn off gas and cooking equipment and let it cool
  • Clear food and small equipment from the cook line
  • Empty the grease catch cups
  • Leave lights and hot water on

In the morning

  • Check the certificate on the hood
  • Wipe down surfaces before prep if needed
  • Put the next cleaning date on the calendar
