It is critically important to keep your hood filters cleaned appropriately. If your restaurant fails to perform regular filter cleaning, it can result in serious kitchen hazards and failed fire or health inspections - no one wants either of these.
Many restaurants in the Atlanta, Savannah, and Jacksonville areas perform the maintenance of cleaning their hood filters themselves. We’d like to offer you a few notes of caution if you decide it is best to do this work yourself. You can very quickly end up in a far worse position than if you had simply hired a professional filter exchange company.

Removal and Replacement of Hood Filters is Dangerous
Removing the filters aren’t always easy since they are very heavy (filled with grease), located over hot and dangerous cooking equipment, and usually in very tight quarters. The staff has to climb up and down a step ladder or climb on equipment just to replace them. Any small slip or incorrect move can mean a serious health and safety hazard for your workers.
Cleaning Hood Vents is a Tiresome and Difficult Job
It may seem like this could save you a few dollars as opposed to calling a professional filter exchange service. However, the person you delegate this chore to likely doesn’t want to do it. Thus, cleaning the filters will not be done properly. Poorly cleaned hood vents, that are then reinstalled, can cause a serious safety situation, including fires and even the failure of inspections.
Improper Cleaning Leads to Serious & Expensive Problems
Restaurants that do not hire professional filter cleaning services will clean their filters improperly. The employees will either clean them behind the restaurant with a hose using harsh chemicals that go into the sewer and water ways or clean them inside using a 3 compartment sink to soak and run through the dishwasher, also putting harsh degreaser into the water system. Using either of these methods means getting grease contaminants in the sewer and the latter puts the grease back into your drain, both of which you want to avoid in the first place!
