• Step 1. Perform Pre-Job Inspection Report

  

  This helps us understand where potential problematic areas are before we start the job.

• Step 2. Prep Work Areas

  

  We wheel away equipment that needs to be / can be moved, and lay plastic tarp over and around all areas to be cleaned (particularly top of equipment that can not be wheeled away).

• Step 3. Remove Grease Filters

  

  Filters must be cleaned regularly-usually every two weeks. Steam Kitchen offers a filter exchange program that provides fresh clean filters which are installed by a trained technician on a regular basis.

• Step 4. Scrape Excess Grease

  

  Technicians scrape heavy grease in and around hoods, all accessible ducts, exhaust fans (including blades) and diverters. If the duct is large and accessible, we usually send one of our technicians into the duct (!). We place all waste into trash bags to throw away (we do not wash away the grease onto our streets. This is the environmentally responsible thing to do).

• Step 5. Clean Drip Cup

  

  We empty the drip cup on the roof and discard into a trash bag, as well.

• Step 6. Apply Grease-Removing Solvents

  

  We use degreaser specifically designed for cleaning exhaust hood systems.

• Step 7. Pressure Wash All Areas

  

  Once technicians have finished scraping any excess grease, they apply pressure washing to all components to ensure a deep clean which is particularly effective for hard-to-reach areas.

• Step 8. Perform Final Cleaning

  

  We wipe off all remaining grease and perform "touch-up" pressure washing.

• Step 9. Wipe Down Excess Water

  

  We wipe down all excess water around all components.

• Step 10. Apply Stainless Steel Polish

  

  Technicians apply polish to all visible stainless steel surface areas. This includes inside AND outside of the hood, as well as the immediate stainless steel backsplash. Most providers do not take this extra step!

• Step 11. Remove All Debris

  

  We remove all plastic tarps, liners and trash bags and take to dumpster.

• Step 12. Perform Final Touchups

  

  We then wipe down any water spots on floor and perform final touch ups.

• Step 13. Provide Proof of Workmanship

  

  Steam Kitchen provides and affixes a NFPA-mandated certification sticker. We also take before and after pictures to document the work.

• Step 14. Perform Post-Job Inspection

  

  Technicians perform a post-job inspection and then complete a report with their findings. Any inaccessible areas are noted.
