About Irvine Kitchen Hood Cleaning

Irvine Kitchen Hood Cleaning is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company based in Irvine, CA, with 20+ years on cook lines across Orange County. We clean Type I hood systems end to end — filters, hood, plenum, horizontal duct, vertical riser and the rooftop fan — for restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools, senior communities and the campus and shopping center kitchens that sit between them.

Twenty years in one region means a specific kind of knowledge rather than a general one. It means knowing that the fire authority changes from city to city across this service area, that a wok line and a warming kitchen are not on the same schedule, and that the answer to “how often” is a measurement rather than a default.

Our Approach

We clean the whole system rather than the part a customer can see, and we photograph the bare metal we leave behind, organized by area rather than as one flattering shot of the cleanest panel. Grease depth is measured and the reading recorded, so a later reader gets a number instead of somebody’s adjective. Anything we could not reach is named in writing with the reason, which usually turns an inaccessible duct run into an access panel quote rather than a permanent gap in your records.

We set frequency by what a kitchen actually cooks rather than applying a default six months to every account, because the code bands cooking volume and a schedule that ignores that is wrong in both directions. One crew takes the hood, the plenum, the duct, the riser and the rooftop fan, so no section is left for somebody else to have skipped. Rooftop grease containment gets checked on every visit, since grease on a roof membrane is the building owner’s exposure rather than the kitchen’s. And the work is scheduled overnight or between services, because no restaurant should give up a cover to a cleaning.

The records matter as much as the cleaning. We keep every report and reproduce it on demand, because the request almost always arrives months later from a fire inspector, an environmental health inspector or an insurance carrier — at exactly the point where reconstructing the history is no longer possible.

What We Do

Restaurant hood cleaning and commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning are the core of the work, alongside kitchen exhaust inspection, exhaust fan cleaning and exhaust fan repair, kitchen hood repair, hood filter replacement, rooftop grease containment, grease duct access panel installation, make-up air unit service and water-wash hood cleaning.
