Step-by-Step Hood Cleaning Guide

Your kitchen hood vent hood cleaning moisture, grease and airborne particles from the cooking environment, contributing to clean, breathable air for your staff and guests. Regularly maintaining this appliance not only keeps it looking sharp and working efficiently, but also prevents fire hazards and clogged filters.

This article provides detailed instructions for cleaning the exterior and interior of a range hood, including removing grease traps. Before proceeding, it is important to shut off all burners and gas valves and cover all areas around the hood with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to protect against any stains or contamination.

First, sanitize the filter by detaching it from the hood and emptying any collected grease into a metal container (refer to manufacturer’s guidelines for proper removal). Next, dampen a non-abrasive sponge or soft brush with the cleaning solution and thoroughly scrub all surfaces of the hood, paying special attention to the edges and any accessible ductwork. If necessary, apply additional degreaser solution to stubborn stains and allow it to soak for several minutes before scrubbing again.

The Importance of Regular Hood Cleaning for Safety and Efficiency

After scrubbing, use a damp cloth or paper towel dipped in warm water to wipe down all surfaces of the hood, rinsing frequently to avoid leaving any residue behind. Once all surfaces are clean, reattach the baffle filter and grease drip or catch trays (refer to manufacturer’s guidelines for safe removal). Once the hood is clean and odor-free, a health inspector or fire marshal will be happy to see your cleaning schedule sticker displayed prominently beneath the hood!
