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 thor-
oughly and inspect or demand clear pictures from both di-
rections 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!
