scraped clean; sometimes scraping isn't necessary if the grease exhaust system has been maintained properly chemical and hot water,[3] then washed clean with food-safe caustic chemicals and hot water pressure-washing where possible to safely collect the dissolved grease and water. The actual commercial kitchen exhaust system cleaning guidelines are outlined in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The cleaning frequency depends on the type of food being cooked and volume of grease laden vapors drawn up through hood plenum chemicals can be applied to break down the grease. After that, hot water can be used to rinse away the residue. Chemicals are generally applied with either a garden-type sprayer, downstream injection through a pressure washer or with a chemical foamer.[5] Once the chemicals are applied, they are allowed to dwell on the surface of the grease for a period of time, before being washed off of the surface with hot water. In extreme situations, where grease buildup is too heavy for a chemical application and a rinse, scrapers may be used to remove excess buildup from the contaminated surfaces, before chemicals are applied. Cleaners often polish hoods for easier cleaning and improved appearance. Cleaners apply a certification sticker to the hood of each cleaned kitchen exhaust system to enable the authority having jurisdiction as well as insurance adjusters and health inspectors to check for compliance with the local, county and state fire codes.
