Three Promises

Cleaned to the Standard You Already Keep

Every dish you serve reflects your standard. Every hire you make reflects it. Every choice in your kitchen reflects it. Your exhaust system should be no different. Cleaning Pros Plus cleans to NFPA 96, documents everything, and certifies every job — because when the fire marshal checks, our work should reflect the same standard yours does.

📄

Documented Like Everything Else You Do

You don't run your kitchen on guesswork. You run it on systems, on discipline, on proof. Every Cleaning Pros Plus cleaning comes with before and after photos, a signed certificate, and a report your fire authority accepts without question. Because a cleaning without documentation doesn't match the way you do anything else.

🔎

Your Standard Doesn't Stop Where You Can't See

You built a kitchen people can see and be proud of. We make sure the parts they can't see match. Hood, filters, ductwork, fan, rooftop — the full exhaust system, all the way up. Grease containment, filter exchange, rooftop management. Every detail, because that's how you built everything else.

Every choice you've made has been at this level.

You built your kitchen from nothing. You earned your reputation one plate, one service, one early morning at a time. The team you trained. The menu you refined. The standard you hold yourself to every single day.

Those are accomplishments no cleaning company can compete with. We don't try.

What we do is make sure the part of your kitchen you can't see reflects the same standard as everything you can. IKECA certified. 350+ services per year. Documented, certified, and ready for anyone who checks.

You've already made every other choice at this level. Of course you hire Cleaning Pros Plus.

What Happens When Kitchens Don't Have a Plan

These aren't hypotheticals. They happen in commercial kitchens every week — and they're almost always preventable.

🔥

Kitchen Fire

Shutdowns, property damage, liability exposure, injured staff

🚫

Failed Inspection

Citations, fines, temporary closure — and the scramble to fix it

🧾

Insurance Claim Denied

“Show us the cleaning records.” If you can't, the claim is rejected.

🏢

Landlord Violations

Property managers don't want fire risk on their roof. Neither does their insurance.

💸

Emergency Cleanings

Premium rates, scrambled scheduling — because you're paying for urgency, not quality

⚠️

Fan & Airflow Failures

Grease recirculation, ventilation problems, kitchen air quality complaints

From Scrambling to Confident — That's the Shift

The kitchens we serve don't worry about compliance anymore. Here's what changes when you have a plan.

🛡

Before: Scrambling for Records. After: Handing Over a Report.

You used to dig through filing cabinets the night before an inspection. Now you pull up photo-verified documentation in seconds — and watch the inspector nod.

📋

Before: Dreading Renewal Calls. After: One Email, Done.

Your insurance carrier used to send you scrambling for proof. Now you have a complete, timestamped history ready to share before they even ask.

😴

Before: Lying Awake Wondering. After: Sleeping Through the Night.

You used to wonder if the system was really clean, if the last provider cut corners, if something would go wrong. That weight is gone. Your schedule is set, your documentation is current, and your fire risk is managed.

Ready to Make the Shift? Get an Estimate Today.

Stop scrambling. Start handing over reports with confidence.

All at the same time. All changing on different schedules. None of them talking to each other.

A lot of people have expectations of your kitchen exhaust system — the fire marshal, your insurance carrier, the health department, your property manager. They all want proof it’s been done right. Cleaning Pros Plus gives you the work that stands up to every one of them — documented, certified, and ready before anyone asks.

Cleaning Pros Plus is the field operation behind HoodOps and EvidLY — real findings, real gaps, real compliance pressure. EvidLY identifies what every agency above expects from your kitchen and helps reduce the risk before anyone shows up.

Introducing EvidLY — Operations Intelligence for commercial kitchens.

⚡ NOW LIVE — EvidLY

Everyone wants proof.
EvidLY is where it lives.

We clean your exhaust system to the standard and hand you the record. EvidLY is the standing proof of that work — the record a fire inspector accepts, a carrier trusts at renewal, and an investigator relies on after a loss.

It starts with your insurance policy. Policy Lens is EvidLY’s free first reading — it reads what your policy actually requires of your kitchen and shows where your record can’t yet answer.

Policy Lens reads the policy — it identifies and flags what your coverage requires. It never advises on coverage; that’s your agent’s call.

One record for everyone who asks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for commercial kitchen operators.

General

What areas do you serve?
We serve commercial kitchens across California’s Central Valley including Fresno, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tulare counties — plus all eight Aramark locations at Yosemite National Park. Contact us for service availability in your area.
Do you only work with restaurants?
No. We serve every industry with a commercial kitchen — restaurants, healthcare, hospitality, education, entertainment, commissaries, and multi-location operators.
Are you certified?
Yes. We are the only IKECA member company in the Valley, following NFPA 96-aligned service standards.

Inspection & Compliance

What is a Kitchen Exhaust Inspection (KEI)?
A KEI is a professional assessment of your exhaust system condition, grease levels, and compliance readiness with a photo-documented report.
Will your reports help with inspectors and insurance?
Yes. Every service includes photo documentation and a digital compliance report accepted by fire inspectors, insurance carriers, landlords, and corporate compliance teams.

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

How often do kitchens need exhaust cleaning?
Most kitchens require cleaning every 1–3 months depending on cooking volume and grease output.
Do you clean the whole system?
Yes — hood, plenum, ductwork, and fan assembly. We use a hand-scrape and chemical process, not just pressure washing.
Can you support multi-location operations?
Absolutely. We perform over 350 services per year including all eight Aramark locations at Yosemite National Park.

Filters, Fans & Rooftop

What is Grease Filter Exchange (GFX)?
A scheduled filter swap program. We deliver clean filters, remove and clean old ones off-site, and rotate them back.
Why does rooftop grease containment matter?
Exhaust fans discharge grease onto rooftops. Without containment, grease damages roofing, creates slip hazards, attracts pests, and can violate building codes.

EvidLY

What is EvidLY?
EvidLY is built for commercial kitchens by a 25-year enterprise IT consultant who also founded and operates a commercial kitchen services company. It replaces paper logs and spreadsheets with fire safety documentation, food safety workflows, temperature monitoring, and inspection-ready reporting — all in one place. Available nationwide to any commercial kitchen. EvidLY is now live. See current pricing at getevidly.com.
Do I need to be a Cleaning Pros Plus customer to use EvidLY?
No. EvidLY is available nationwide to any commercial kitchen operator — you do not need to be in our service area or use our cleaning services. Cleaning Pros Plus customers benefit from automatic documentation integration, but EvidLY works independently for any kitchen anywhere.
