As the new school year approaches, administrators and facility managers have a long checklist to work through. One item that should never be overlooked is professional kitchen hood cleaning. At Innocin Hood Cleaning Inc., we help schools across New York stay safe, compliant, and ready for students.

Why Hood Cleaning is Essential for Schools

School cafeterias serve hundreds of meals every day. All that cooking means grease builds up quickly in the kitchen exhaust system. Left uncleaned, this grease becomes a serious fire hazard that puts students, staff, and the entire building at risk.

FDNY Compliance for School Kitchens

New York schools are required to maintain clean kitchen exhaust systems under FDNY regulations and NFPA 96 standards. Failure to comply can result in fines, failed inspections, and even forced closure of your cafeteria.
