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. 300+ kitchens a 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.

Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning (KEC)

Full-system cleaning (hood, duct, fan)
Hand-scraped grease removal
Photo-documented service report

Grease Buildup Is the #1 Cause of Exhaust System Fires.

Kitchen exhaust cleaning isn't cosmetic — it's fire protection and compliance.

What We Clean

  • Hood interiors, baffles, grease troughs
  • Plenum area (behind filters)
  • Ductwork (all accessible areas)
  • Exhaust fans and rooftop discharge area
  • Rooftop grease containment components

Important: We use a hand-scrape and chemical application process — not just pressure washing.

  • Eliminates emergency cleaning scrambles
IKECA certified fan maintenance providerThe ONLY IKECA Certified Company in the ValleyInternational Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association

Fan Performance Management (FPM)

Prevent fan failures, airflow issues, and grease recirculation before they impact your kitchen.

Your Exhaust Fan Is the Heart of Your Ventilation System

When exhaust fans fail or underperform, grease recirculates, airflow drops, and your entire system becomes a fire risk.

What We Do

  • Fan motor and blade inspection
  • Belt tension and alignment check
  • Bearing condition assessment
  • Grease buildup on fan components
  • Airflow performance evaluation
  • Hinge hardware and access panel condition

Why It Matters

  • Prevents unexpected fan failures during service
  • Maintains proper kitchen ventilation and air quality
  • Extends equipment life and reduces replacement costs
  • Supports NFPA 96 system performance requirements
  • Reduces grease recirculation into the kitchen
IKECA certified grease filter serviceThe ONLY IKECA Certified Company in the ValleyInternational Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association

Grease Filter Exchange (GFX)

Scheduled filter swaps that reduce grease buildup and improve airflow between cleanings.

Filters Are Your First Line of Defense

When filters are clogged or damaged, grease bypasses them and accumulates in the exhaust system.

How GFX Works

  • Clean, certified filters delivered on a set schedule
  • Old filters removed, cleaned off-site, rotated back
  • Filter sizing, fitment, condition verified each visit
  • Damaged or worn filters flagged and replaced
  • Service documented with photo verification

Benefits

  • Reduces grease reaching the duct and fan
  • Extends time between full exhaust cleanings
  • Improves ventilation efficiency and air quality
  • Eliminates in-house filter cleaning labor
  • Consistent quality across multiple locations
IKECA certified rooftop grease containmentThe ONLY IKECA Certified Company in the ValleyInternational Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning Association

Rooftop Grease Containment (RGC)

Contain grease discharge, protect your roof, and prevent slip hazards.

What Happens on the Roof Matters

Exhaust fans discharge grease onto rooftop surfaces. Without containment, grease damages roofing, creates slip hazards, and attracts pests.

What We Provide

  • Rooftop grease containment system assessment
  • Grease cup and containment unit maintenance
  • Grease pad installation and replacement
  • Rooftop grease cleanup and documentation
  • Recommendations for containment improvements

Why It Matters

  • Protects roofing materials from grease damage
  • Reduces slip and fall liability on rooftops
  • Prevents pest attraction from grease runoff
  • Supports landlord and building code compliance
  • Photo-documented for inspectors and property managers

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers for commercial kitchen operators.

General

What areas do you serve?
We serve commercial kitchens across California including Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare, and surrounding counties — plus all seven 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 Certified 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 service over 300 kitchens per year including all seven 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 Platform

What is EvidLY?
EvidLY is a digital compliance platform built for commercial kitchens by a CISSP-certified enterprise architect 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 platform. Available nationwide to any commercial kitchen. Launching April 7, 2026 — Founder pricing ($99/mo vs. standard $199/mo) is limited to early adopters.
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 the platform works independently for any kitchen anywhere.
