Our Cleaning Standards

You need your kitchen hoods cleaned, but there are murky standards and practices that vary from business to business and from hood to hood. You can't maintain accountability that way. This is one of the reasons why we're better. We follow the NFPA-96 standard and recommend the following exhaust system service schedule:

System	Schedule
Solid Fuel¹	Monthly
Mid/High Volume²	Quarterly
Low Volume³	Semi-Annually
Non-regular Use⁴	Annually

¹e.g. Wood, Charcoal
²e.g. Fryer, Wock, Grill
³e.g. Pizza Oven, Pasta Cooker
⁴e.g. Seasonal Operations

You should look at this table and maintain a schedule following something similar to this table. If you are unsure about what schedule to keep, that's OK. Give us a call or contact us and we'd be glad to consult you over the phone, or if you need us, we can stop by and look at your system. Of course, there's more to the standard than just a service schedule, so you may read more about the NFPA-96 standard here or give us a call at (786) 349-7114 or send us an email. Experience the Patriot difference!
