How Often Does Your Kitchen in Bothell Need Hood Cleaning?
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 96) outlines strict cleaning schedules based on kitchen type, fuel source, and volume.
Here’s what’s required:
- Monthly – Wood-burning ovens, charcoal grills, or any solid fuel cooking
→ Think: BBQ joints, pizzerias with wood ovens - Quarterly – High-volume kitchens like 24/7 diners, fast food, steakhouses
→ You’re moving serious volume — grease builds up fast - Semi-Annual – Moderate-use kitchens (family restaurants, smaller pizza spots)
→ You may not cook all day, but you’re still vulnerable - Annual – Low-volume kitchens like seasonal cafés or churches
→ Still required for fire insurance compliance
⚠️ Pro tip: Insurance providers often demand proof of regular hood cleanings. Skipping service could lead to claim denial after a fire.

5 Warning Signs Your Hood System Needs Cleaning — Now
Not sure if it’s time to schedule service? These are red flags we see all the time in Bothell kitchens right before something fails or the inspector shows up:
1. Grease Dripping from the Hood or Filters
If grease is dripping from your system — it’s not just gross, it’s a serious fire hazard.
2. Sticky or Shiny Hood Surfaces
You’re not seeing “clean stainless steel” — you’re seeing a grease layer that ignites easily.
3. Burnt Smell or Smoke During Cooking
Grease buildup inside the ducts or fan burns off under high heat — this is a top cause of kitchen fires.
4. Rattling or Noisy Rooftop Fan
Your fan might be unbalanced or choking on buildup — this kills efficiency and shortens motor life.
5. You Can’t Remember Your Last Cleaning
If you’re unsure when your last service was… it’s overdue.
🚨 Did you know?
The Bothell fire marshal or health inspector can shut down your kitchen immediately for a non-compliant hood system.
