What products should you use to clean a commercial range hood?

Daily cleaning is essential

To keep your range hood performing at its best, regular and proper maintenance is essential.
On a daily basis, use a professional degreasing spray to remove grease and cooking residue. This product is designed to effectively dissolve baked-on grease without damaging stainless steel surfaces.

Before handling the hood, be sure to wear personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, mask) to prevent skin irritation or splashes.

Once the degreaser has been applied, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with clean water before drying with a soft cloth. This prevents streaks and preserves the metal’s shine.

Apply a stainless steel finish

After degreasing, it is recommended to use a stainless steel polish. This type of cleaner protects the surface, prevents grease buildup, and restores the hood’s shine.
Be sure to choose a non-abrasive product specifically formulated for stainless steel to avoid damaging the surface or leaving micro-scratches.

This step, though often overlooked, plays a key role in maintaining the durability and visual cleanliness of your appliance.

A thorough degreasing is required once a year

In addition to regular cleaning, the law requires a thorough cleaning and degreasing of the exhaust system (range hood, ducts, motor, turret, etc.) at least once a year.
This procedure must be performed by a certified professional to ensure compliance with health and fire safety standards.

In summary:

• Use a professional degreasing spray every day.

• Rinse and apply a stainless steel polish to protect the surfaces.

• Have a professional perform a complete annual degreasing.
