What To Expect From Your
Grease Exhaust Cleaners (A
Picture Guide)
This is what you should expect and demand from your cleaning
company, do not accept excuses for anything less. Also, check
behind the fan blades and filters thoroughly and inspect or de-
mand clear pictures from both directions at every access plate.
If you do not have adequate access to visually inspect the entire
duct, hire a competent contractor to install them for you. What
you do not see could burn down your restaurant!
