Exhaust Hood Cleaning in McKinney, TX
Exhaust hood cleaning in McKinney, TX focuses on the hood itself — the canopy, baffle filters, plenum, and front-edge grease trough — degreased to NFPA 96 standards so the heart of your ventilation system captures grease correctly and looks clean to a health inspector.
The baffle filters are where most grease is captured, so a compliant hood clean always includes removing, soaking, and resetting the baffles — not wiping the canopy alone. We also clean the plenum behind the filters and the grease trough that collects runoff, because buildup there reduces capture and drips onto the line.
We detail the canopy exterior and front edge so the hood is visibly inspection-ready, then apply a dated service sticker and send before/after photos. For most McKinney kitchens, hood cleaning is bundled with duct and fan cleaning as part of the full NFPA 96 cycle, but standalone hood service is available between full cleans.
Is exhaust hood cleaning the same as a full NFPA 96 clean?
No. Hood cleaning covers the canopy, baffles, and plenum. A full NFPA 96 clean also includes the ductwork and rooftop fan, which is what the standard actually requires. We offer standalone hood service but most McKinney kitchens bundle it with the full system clean to stay compliant.
What's included
- Canopy interior and exterior degreased
- Baffle filters removed, soaked, and reset
- Plenum and front-edge grease trough cleaned

Exhaust Hood Cleaning FAQ
How often should an exhaust hood be cleaned in McKinney?
Under NFPA 96, busy kitchens need quarterly exhaust hood cleaning, high-volume frying or solid-fuel kitchens need monthly service, and moderate or low-volume kitchens need semi-annual or annual cleaning. We set your frequency after the first inspection.
Do you clean the baffles or just wipe the canopy?
We remove the baffle filters, soak and degrease them, and clean the canopy interior, plenum, and grease trough. Baffles are where most grease collects, so a canopy-only wipe is not a compliant NFPA 96 clean.
Will the hood look clean when you leave?
Yes. We detail the canopy exterior and front edge so the hood is visibly inspection-ready for a health walk-through. The service sticker and photo report back up what the inspector sees.
Can you clean my hood during a short shutdown?
Yes. Most single-hood cleanings are completed in the overnight window between dinner close and opening. We coordinate the shutdown window with your GM so the line is ready for service.
