At Cooking Clean, we took on quite the project in Carlsbad, NM, where a kitchen exhaust system had been stalled in time, gathering rust and grime for about three years. We always appreciate a good challenge, and this one definitely called for some serious attention—a perfect test for our trusty scrapers and powerful cleaning chemicals.
As you can see from the transformation, the long-neglected exhaust system was truly in need of a deep clean. Our team started off by thoroughly inspecting the system to understand the extent of cleaning required. It wasn’t just about aesthetics—in a heavily used kitchen, efficiency and safety are closely tied to clean ventilation systems. Without regular maintenance, build-up of this nature can mean unnecessary expenses down the line.
Armed with our tools and teamwork, we methodically tackled layers of grease and rust. Removing three years' worth of buildup required persistence and precision, and ensuring a smooth and sparkling finish was our ultimate goal. From scraping away the stubborn grime to applying chemicals to break down the residue, we left no corner untouched.
We're proud of the rigorous work our team put into restoring this kitchen exhaust system to its former state. This project serves as a reminder of how essential routine maintenance is for kitchen establishments. Each project we undertake reinforces our commitment to impeccable cleaning standards and service excellence.
