Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning in Mesa, AZ | Professional Hood Cleaning
Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. provides commercial kitchen hood cleaning in Mesa, AZ for restaurants, hotels, schools, and hospital kitchens. After 20 years, our crews still find the same thing above most fryers, a thick brown film that crept up over a few months. Our technicians scrape it, degrease it, and rinse the hood, filters, ducts, and roof fan with hot water, usually overnight so your kitchen opens on time.
Afterward, you get dated labels and photos, which Mesa Fire and Medical Department inspectors and your insurance agent both like to see. NFPA 96 sets the cleaning schedule, and our team matches it to how hard you cook, whether that means a Main Street taqueria with three fryers or a school cafeteria that shuts down every summer.
Grease doesn't get noticed until it's already built up or hardened, so our crews would rather clear it on a Tuesday night than during a Friday rush. We also cover Gilbert, Tempe, Chandler, and Apache Junction.

Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning in Mesa, AZ
Restaurant Hood Cleaning
Restaurant hood cleaning is what keeps smoke from hanging around your line after a Friday night rush.
Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. wraps the fryers and griddles in plastic, brushes alkaline degreaser onto the canopy, and rinses everything down with hot water before dining room prep begins.
Cooks feel the difference in airflow on the next shift, and your hood stops doubling as fuel storage.
Commercial Exhaust, Vent, & Range Hood Cleaning
Commercial exhaust, vent, and range hood cleaning keeps up as grease travels, that's why professional services should cover the whole route, from the range hood canopy through the plenum and ductwork to the exhaust fan on the roof.
Our crews scrape each stretch by hand, rinse it with hot water, and empty the roof grease cup last. Picture a kitchen drain that only gets cleaned at the sink, and you can see why skipping the upper sections invites trouble.
Grease Hood Cleaning
Grease hood cleaning matters most over the fryers, woks, and charbroilers that throw off the stickiest vapor.
Our licensed technicians pull the baffle filters, soak them in heated degreaser, and scrub the trough underneath until the stainless shines.
Clean filters let more air through, so your exhaust fan strains less and flare-ups above the flame drop off.
Type I Hood Cleaning
Type I hood cleaning applies to the stainless canopies the International Mechanical Code requires above grease-producing appliances, while dishwasher and steam hoods fall under Type II.
Our experts learned long ago that Type I hoods hide their worst grease in the corners of the plenum, so they check those seams first.
Well-kept hoods hold their shape and finish for years, and your inspector sees equipment that looks and works the way its manufacturer intended.
NFPA 96 Hood Cleaning
NFPA 96 hood cleaning follows the fire standard that your insurer and Mesa's fire officials both read from, and it asks for trained, qualified people to do the work.

Code-Compliant Hood Cleaning
Code-compliant hood cleaning leaves proof behind, and inspectors like proof.
Our crews shoot photos of the hood, ducts, and fan before and after, press a dated service sticker onto your hood, and note cracked filters or missing access panels in the report.
Mesa Hood & Exhaust Co. keeps copies on file, so when Mesa Fire and Medical Department or your insurance agent asks, the answer takes one email.
Five-Stage Commercial Kitchen Hood Cleaning Process for Mesa, AZ Kitchens
Step 1: Survey and Photograph the System
Our technicians photograph the hood, ductwork, and fan, then measure grease depth with a gauge to set the cleaning scope.
Step 2: Shield the Cooking Line
Crews wrap fryers, griddles, and walls in plastic sheeting and lock out power to the exhaust fan before any chemicals touch metal.
Step 3: Degrease Filters and Canopy Interiors
Baffle filters soak in heated degreaser while our experts coat canopy walls with alkaline solution and scour carbon deposits with plastic and stainless scrapers.
Step 4: Clear the Ducts and Rooftop Fan
Through access panels, our crew scrapes and hot-water washes duct walls to bare metal, then hinges open the rooftop fan and cleans blades and grease containment.
Step 5: Reassemble, Test, and Label
Our technicians reinstall filters, run the fan, wipe every surface, and photograph the finished system before applying your dated NFPA 96 service label.
