Commercial Hood Cleaning Services
At Bare Metal Standard®, we go above and beyond to provide the highest standard of kitchen exhaust system cleaning available anywhere. We’ve refined our process to produce a full system clean and the ability to reproduce this process nationwide. Simply put, there’s no kitchen exhaust system we can’t clean.
The BARE METAL STANDARD® Clean Difference
There’s a vast difference in how companies clean and maintain kitchen grease exhaust systems. We originally developed Bare Metal Standard® Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Service to address what the industry had been demanding for years, ‘THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY!’ Our standard of a “clean” system is only when every inch of the system has been cleaned. When we return your system to bare metal using our proprietary process, we ensure no flammable grease residue remains inside your system. Then – and only then – do we deem your system clean and fire-safe. Bare Metal Standard® Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Service has become our brand standard that defines how we do business. It’s reflected in how we clean, the professionalism that can be expected from our technicians, and our scheduling program that takes away our customers’ worries and ensures their peace of mind.
