Benefits of Professional Kitchen Hood Cleaning
Reduce Fire Hazards
Grease accumulation is a leading cause of residential kitchen fires. Regular hood cleaning removes flammable residue, lowering the risk of dangerous flare-ups.
Improve Air Quality
A clean kitchen hood effectively removes smoke, steam, and odors, keeping your indoor air healthier and more comfortable.
Maintain Efficiency
When your hood and exhaust system are clear of buildup, they perform at their best— improving airflow and extending the life of your equipment.
Stay Clean
Our cleaning process can clean up messy grease, gunk, and other contaminants that accumulate over years of cooking.

At Atlantic Duct Cleaning, we go beyond surface cleaning to ensure your system is spotless from top to bottom.

Step 2 – Set Up
At your scheduled cleaning appointment, our team will prepare your kitchen by covering all nearby surfaces in plastic to ensure that any mess is contained.
Step 3 – Deep Cleaning
Using professional-grade equipment and eco-friendly solutions, our team removes grease and debris from your hood, filters, ducts, and fans using hand and mechanical tools.
