Cooking type and hours
A high-volume line running sixteen hours a day loads grease far faster than a light cafe. NFPA 96 intervals scale with exactly this.
Kitchen exhaust cleaning
Kitchen exhaust hood cleaning San Antonio, TX
Grease does not stop at the visible stainless. TNP ProWash cleans hoods, filters, and accessible exhaust ductwork for San Antonio restaurants and commercial kitchens.
Clean hood.
Clear standard.
A kitchen exhaust system is a grease highway running from your hood to your roof. When it is loaded, it is a fire load. Cleaning it is maintenance you cannot postpone.
Every hour a commercial kitchen runs, cooking vapor carries grease up into the hood, through the filters, and into the ductwork. It coats everything it touches. That buildup is fuel. A flare-up on the line can reach it, and a grease fire inside a duct moves faster than anyone in the building. This is why exhaust cleaning is not cosmetic. It is fire risk reduction, done on a schedule.
The standard that governs this work is NFPA 96, the national fire code standard for ventilation control and fire protection of commercial cooking operations. It sets cleaning expectations and inspection intervals based on how much and what kind of cooking a kitchen does. Your fire marshal and your insurer both read from that book. Staying on a cleaning schedule is how a kitchen stays on the right side of both.
A TNP ProWash hood cleaning covers the system as far as it can be reached and cleaned properly: the hood itself, the filters, and accessible ductwork and ventilation components, degreased and scraped down, with the cooking area protected before work starts and left clean when it ends. Before-and-after condition photos are available, so you have a record of the work for your own files.
- Exhaust hoods degreased inside and out, including the plenum
- Filters removed, degreased, and reinstalled
- Accessible ductwork and ventilation components scraped and cleaned
- Grease buildup removed from reachable fan and exhaust areas
- Kitchen protected with sheeting before work, cleaned up after
What shapes
the job.
No two kitchens load grease the same way. These factors set the scope of a hood cleaning and the schedule it belongs on.
Hoods and duct runs
How many hoods, how long the ductwork runs, and how it is accessed all decide the size of the job.
Grease buildup level
A system on a regular schedule cleans differently than one that has been let go. Heavy, hardened grease takes longer to bring down.
Your service window
Hood work happens when the kitchen is down. We build the visit around your closing hours and your prep schedule.
The operation.
Simple, direct, and built around your property, not a one-size-fits-all pressure routine.

We confirm the scope, the access points, and a service window that keeps the work clear of your service hours.
Clear the grime
Sheeting goes down, grease comes off the hood, filters, and accessible ductwork, and the area is left clean and photo-documented on request.
Straight answers.
What San Antonio customers ask before they book, answered without the sales script.
How often does a kitchen exhaust system need cleaning?
NFPA 96 ties the interval to cooking type and volume. Solid fuel and very high-volume operations can be monthly. Typical full-service restaurants often land quarterly. Low-volume kitchens may be semiannual or annual. Your fire marshal and insurer expect you to follow the schedule that matches your operation, and we can help you work out which one you are on.
What exactly gets cleaned?
The hood, the filters, and the ductwork and ventilation components that can be accessed and cleaned properly, with grease removed throughout. If part of a system cannot be reached through existing access, we tell you plainly rather than quietly skipping it.
Will my kitchen be usable the next day?
That is the plan. Hood cleaning is scheduled around your hours, usually when the kitchen is closed, and the work area is protected and cleaned before we leave. When you call, we set the window so your next service runs as normal.
