The Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Fix Kit
Built for kitchen exhaust and restaurant hood cleaning companies.
Fire code requires a commercial kitchen's entire exhaust system — hood, duct, and fan — to be cleaned to bare metal, and requires access panels along the duct so the whole run can actually be reached. This kit finds where the money leaks in your own work and gives you the steps and the words to close each one.

- Cleaning only what's reachable when the code requires hood to fanWhere to look first: Survey before you bid: walk the full duct run from hood to fan and note every section you can't reach.Keep it from coming back: Do a hood-to-fan walk-through on every new account and price unreachable sections before the first cleaning.You can close it

Free: one full leak from this kit
No sign-up, no email. Here is leak 1 of 7 exactly as it appears in the kit, so you can see what you get before you buy.
Assuming one national cleaning schedule for every customer
You can close it- For each customer, find out what cooking they do and which fire code their city or state uses.
- Ask the customer what their insurer requires.
- Set each customer's cleaning interval from those answers. In New York City, for example, FDNY requires cleaning at least every three months by a W-64 certificate holder.
- Put each customer's next due date on your schedule.
- Remind the customer before it comes due.
Your part: Book and do the job.
REMINDER TO CUSTOMER: Hi [CUSTOMER NAME], your kitchen exhaust system at [LOCATION] is due for cleaning by [DATE] under [YOUR LOCAL CODE / YOUR INSURER'S REQUIREMENT]. I have openings on [DATES]. Which works for you? [YOUR NAME], [COMPANY] | [PHONE]
Record each new customer's required interval and insurer requirement at the first job.
What this kit can't decide for you: Interval rules come from the local fire authority and the customer's insurer.
That's 1 of 7. The other 6 come the same way in the kit: steps, words to send, a habit to keep each one closed.

What people in this work look up
When kitchen exhaust cleaning companies go looking for answers, they search things like “hood cleaning certification”, “hood cleaning business” and “hood cleaning prices”. Those searches turn up forms, averages and other people's numbers. This kit starts from your own records instead: the 7 places money leaks in this work, where to look first and the words to send to close each one.
What you get for each leak
- Numbered steps to close each leak
- Your part, spelled out
- Words you can use: letters and scripts, ready to send (fill in the brackets)
- A habit that keeps each leak from coming back
- An honest line on what the kit can't decide for you

Questions people ask
How often should a kitchen hood be cleaned?
Not on one national schedule. The kit shows how to set each customer's frequency from the code and the kind of cooking.
How should I price hood cleaning?
Price the full code scope, hood to fan, and show the customer why it's worth paying. The kit has the words to use.
What should my hood cleaning certificate say?
Only what was actually reached. Saying 'fully cleaned' when parts weren't is a risk the kit helps you avoid.
What it can't decide for you
This kit works from your own records. It doesn't give legal, tax, licensing or financial advice, and it never tells you what to charge. Where a CPA, attorney, insurer or state board makes the call, the kit says so and gets your records ready for them.
