How often should kitchen exhaust systems be cleaned?

For restaurants and multi-location properties, how often should kitchen hoods and exhaust systems be professionally cleaned to stay compliant with NFPA 96 and reduce fire risks?

The cleaning frequency depends on cooking volume, equipment type, and grease accumulation. High-volume kitchens may require professional cleaning every 1–3 months, while lower-volume operations can often use longer intervals. Multi-location businesses should keep consistent inspection and service records and follow NFPA 96 requirements. Professional cleaning helps reduce grease buildup and fire risk. For commercial services, commercial pressure washing ontario is worth checking.
