Oregon Hood Cleaning, LLC

Kitchen Equipment

Over time, kitchen equipment, walls and floors can become contaminated with greasy buildup. Our steam cleaning process can "deep clean" these areas well beyond what your restaurant staff can accomplish. Using the latest steam cleaning equipment and FDA approved chemicals our crews can return your kitchen back to "eat off the floor" condition.

Exhaust Fan Hinges

The fire codes adopted in Oregon and Washington (NFPA 96) require exhaust fans to be hinged, allowing thorough cleaning of the fan and the duct below it. Hinging the exhaust fan is not only required by code, it will also help to significantly increase the life of the fan. Exhaust fans are made of very soft aluminum and can be damaged during the cleaning or repair process just by taking an unhinged fan off and setting it on the roof. Hinging eliminates the need to remove the fan as it can be tilted back to allow complete access to your system. Fans that are not hinged can become out of balance and begin to vibrate and make noise. Electrical wiring is more susceptible to damage in a fan that is not hinged.

Access Panel Installation

NFPA 96 requires access panels on duct at every change of direction and every 12 feet of length. These panels allow our technicians to completely clean the system eliminating "if we can't see it , we can't clean it" areas of the duct.

Exhaust fan clean out ports are also required by code. These ports are mini access panels which allow complete inspection and cleaning of the exhaust fan. Fan access panels (clean out ports) allow our technicians to clean the back side of the fan blades. Not having the clean out ports can result in grease build-up on the blades which can cause the fan to become off-balance, vibrate and noisy. This vibration will prematurely wear out the fan bearings and belts.
