Guelph’s Top Choice for Eco-Friendly Commercial Hood Cleaning
From the late-night energy of Macdonell Street to the prestigious kitchens of the University district, we provide the certified, biodegradable cleaning that the Royal City expects.
The Invisible Danger Above.
Grease fires don't happen by accident. They are the calculated result of a 4-step chemical process happening in your ducts right now.
Vaporization
Commercial cooking releases grease-laden vapors into your air system.
Condensation
Vapors cool and solidify into fuel on hood surfaces and duct walls.
Restriction
Buildup narrows airflow. Fans strain. Kitchen temperatures spike.
Ignition Risk
One spark hits super-heated grease. Fire spreads to the roof instantly.
Break the Chain Reaction
Routine cleaning removes the Fuel Source (Step 2), completely preventing the restriction and flash-fire risk. We simply reset your safety cycle to zero.
We Know The Royal City Ecosystem.
Every city has its own pulse, regulations, and challenges. We don't just clean hoods; we ensure your kitchen thrives within the local compliance landscape.
The Culinary Landscape
Guelph's food scene is a unique hybrid of university-town energy and farm-to-table sophistication. Downtown Macdonell Street and Wyndham Street form a dense culinary hub that rivals much larger cities. The annual Hillside Festival (late July) brings a surge of tourism, while the academic calendar dictates distinct 'rush' periods for campus-adjacent restaurants. We structure our cleaning schedules to hit during your natural downtimes, ensuring you never miss a peak service.

Fire Code Enforcement
Wellington County fire inspections are rigorous regarding 6-month compliance cycles. For kitchens using high-volume charbroilers or wood-fired ovens (common in Guelph's artisan pizza scene), monthly or quarterly inspections of the spark arrestors and hood plenum are often mandated.
Supply Chain Aware
We coordinate our overnight cleaning windows to ensure we never block your morning deliveries from:
From Greasy to Certified in One Night.
Our 5-step protocol guarantees safety, compliance, and zero downtime for your business.
Zero-Disruption Scheduling
We work while you sleep. Our teams operate overnight or during off-hours to ensure your kitchen service is never interrupted.
Site Protection
We respect your workspace. Appliances are wrapped, sensitive equipment is covered, and floors are protected before a single drop of water is sprayed.
Bare Metal Degreasing
No surface scratching. Just high-temperature, high-pressure steam and professional degreasing agents that strip hoods, fans, and ducts down to bare metal.
Polish & Shine
We don't just clean; we restore. Your hoods are polished to a brilliant shine that impresses health inspectors and fire marshals alike.
Digital Certification
Total compliance proof. You receive a digital report containing before/after photos and an official NFPA 96 certificate for your insurance provider.
Serving Guelph & Wellington County
We service the entire city, from the Hanlon Expressway to Eastview Road.
