What You Will Learn in this Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Class
 
This program is more than a set of instructions — it is a complete education in the science, the systems, and the business of kitchen exhaust cleaning.

Throughout this class, you will learn:
 
The Science of Fire & Airflow
Understanding how heat, fuel, and oxygen interact in a commercial kitchen — and how grease becomes a fire hazard within ductwork, hoods, and fans.
 
Step-by-Step Cleaning Methods
How to properly drape, pressure wash, handle chemicals, and control waste for a professional, NFPA-96 compliant job every time.
 
Equipment Mastery
Fans, filters, ducts, and hoods — how each works, how to maintain them, and how to identify deficiencies that could put your customer at risk.
 
Safety & Compliance
The exact standards required by NFPA 96 and AHJs (Authorities Having Jurisdiction), plus best practices in chemical handling, PPE, respirators, lockout/tagout, and more.
 
Ancillary Services
How to expand beyond hood cleaning into grease filter exchange, dumpster cleaning, exterior power washing, and other services that build loyalty and boost revenue.
 
Business Strategy & Growth
Real-world lessons from decades in the industry — how to present yourself as the professional, keep competitors out of your accounts, and create a company built on safety, consistency, and trust.
