How to Keep Your Commercial Kitchen Safe with Grease Filter Cleaning

Keeping your commercial kitchen safe is essential for the health and safety of your employees and customers. Grease filter cleaning is a crucial part of maintaining a safe kitchen. When grease filters become clogged, they can cause dangerous conditions that could lead to fires and other hazards.
 
So, what is a grease filter?
 
A grease filter is an essential component of any commercial kitchen. It is designed to remove excess grease, oil, and other debris from the air that circulates through the hood and venting system.
 
Grease filters come in two main types: mesh filters and baffle filters. Mesh filters are made of metal mesh that traps larger particles, while baffle filters are designed with grooves and perforations to block out smaller particles. Both types of grease filters require regular cleaning and maintenance in order to keep your commercial kitchen safe and free of grease build-up. Regularly scheduling a grease filter service with a professional company is an effective way to ensure that your filters remain in good condition and your commercial kitchen remains clean and safe.
