KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING
A perfect delicacy is a blend of the tasty recipe, quality food products, and clean kitchen. Today’s modern kitchens are equipped with smart technologies that not only help in cooking but also ensure that kitchen cooking is an art.
With various modern devices in use, it is highly essential that all these devices are in a perfect state and do not pose any safety risk to the kitchen workers.
These modern kitchens make use of ductworks and hoods are placed just above the stoves to enable the exhaust smokes, the fumes and the steam to pass out easily out of the kitchen.
KITCHEN EXHAUST ROLE
An exhaustive system consists of the ducts, hoods, fans, and vents with the following role:
- Enables the exhaust smokes, the fumes and the steam to pass out easily out of the kitchen
- Exhaust systems in the kitchen improve the air quality within the kitchen.
- They are known to improve the airflow through the duct line
- Improvises ventilation for the workers
- Properly maintained kitchen exhaust prevents fire breakouts.
NEED FOR KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING
While passing through these ducts and hoods, the gases leave residual particles that line up on the interiors of the ducts and hoods. Over time, a heavy grease line buildup and this is a sign of safety risk as it can lead to kitchen fires.
A small kitchen fire can propagate easily due to grease lining up the duct way into the exhaust fan and can even burn buildings.
These exhaust lines must be regularly inspected and cleaned to prevent fire breakouts. Kitchen exhaust cleaning, also known as hood cleaning is a process to make the exhaust system clean of the accumulated grease that is quite dangerous.
KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING PROCESS
Step 1: Scrapping: At first the exhaust system has to be cleaned through proper scraping that is not necessary every time if the system has been going through the proper and regular inspection.
To wash the system hot water with food-safe eco-friendly cleaning solutions like citrus solutions is used to dissolve the accumulated grease inside. The national fire protection association has outlined the guidelines for the cleaning of commercial kitchens.
The duration after that a cleaning has to be done depends on the type of food that has been cooked in a kitchen. The cleaning intervals may be monthly, every two months, quarterly, semiannually, and annually.
Step 2: In this step eco-friendly grease emulsifier and neutralizer are used which have the capacity to dissolve grease and oil. These are applied after the washing of the system with hot water to rinse the residue away. These emulsifier and neutralizers can be applied through a variety of the applying tools as a garden type sprayer, downstream injection, pressure washer or a foamer.
The agents, having been applied, are left undisturbed for a certain period after that they have washed off the surface with hot water. The scrapers too are used in extreme conditions when the amount of accumulates grease is too heavy to be washed off with the help of agents and hot water only.
Step 3: Pressure washing with hot water: The water can be boiled and applied with the help of machines under pressures up to 2000 pounds per square inch. In this method, the heavy-duty taps are first connected with the hoods and then angled into plastic garbage cans to catch the runoff that is disposed of carefully when the cans are full to the brim.
Step 4: Certification: A certification sticker is applied to the hood of every cleaned system after the cleaning by the cleaner.
