Hood cleaning guides for Niagara kitchen operators
Hood Cleaning Guides from Niagara Falls Hood Cleaning are a short set of plain-English references for anyone who runs a commercial kitchen in the Niagara Region. They answer the four questions operators ask most: what hood cleaning costs, how often a hood should be cleaned, which type of hood hangs over your line, and what NFPA 96 and the Ontario Fire Code expect. Each guide is written for Niagara kitchens, from Clifton Hill grills to winery restaurants and church halls, and each one ends with a clear next step.
Start with the question you have today
Most operators arrive with one question, usually about price, a due date or an inspection.
A new owner wants to know what a clean should cost. A manager with a fire inspection next week wants to know what the officer reads. A chef adding a fryer wants to know if the old hood still works. The guides below each take one of those questions and answer it fully, so you do not have to read them all.

Each guide owns one question, and this table points you to the right one.
