Commercial Hood Cleaning
Commercial hood cleaning in Millville, NJ removes grease from your hood, filters, accessible ductwork, and exhaust fans — the full system, not just the visible surface.
Commercial Kitchen Cleaning in South Jersey, NJ
Tyler's Hood Cleaners LLC provides commercial kitchen cleaning for restaurants, diners, food trucks, and commercial kitchens throughout South Jersey. Each visit covers the full exhaust system — hood, filters, accessible ductwork, and fans — along with cooking equipment surfaces, so grease does not build to a fire risk or an inspection failure.
What Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Covers
A commercial kitchen generates grease in two directions: upward through the exhaust system, and outward onto the cooking equipment. Both need to be addressed on a regular schedule.
Exhaust system cleaning covers the back wall from eye level up, the full hood canopy and plenum, all baffle filters, accessible sections of ductwork, and the rooftop exhaust fans. Grease inside a duct gives no visible warning before it ignites — it accumulates out of sight until it becomes a hazard.
Equipment cleaning addresses the exterior surfaces of ranges, fryers, griddles, and surrounding prep areas. Grease on cooking equipment is a secondary fire risk and a common point of failure during health and fire inspections.
Both services can be completed in the same visit. Since the kitchen needs to be shut down for either, combining them saves a second closure.
How Often South Jersey Kitchens Need Cleaning
Cleaning frequency depends on what the kitchen cooks and how many hours it runs. NFPA 96 — the standard adopted by most New Jersey municipalities — sets the minimum intervals:
- MonthlyHigh-volume operations: wok cooking, 24-hour diners, charbroiling
- QuarterlyModerate to high output: burger operations, fried food, full-service restaurants
- Semi-annuallyModerate output: pizza operations, casual dining
- AnnuallyLow volume: churches, seasonal operations, light-use kitchens
The NJ Division of Fire Safety enforces these intervals. Documented cleaning records are required during inspections. If you are unsure where your kitchen falls, a free estimate visit can assess the system and give you a straight answer.

Can hood cleaning and equipment cleaning be done in the same visit?
Yes. Both services require the kitchen to be shut down, so scheduling them together avoids a second closure. Most customers find the same-visit approach more practical.
Is commercial kitchen cleaning required by law in New Jersey?
New Jersey commercial kitchens are subject to health and fire inspection requirements that include documented exhaust system cleaning. The NJ Division of Fire Safety enforces NFPA 96 minimum cleaning frequencies. Failure to maintain cleaning records can result in inspection violations.
