Restaurant Vent Cleaning

The success of a commercial kitchen doesn’t end with creating great food. Ensuring a safe, clean, and efficient working environment is equally important. One of the most vital aspects of maintaining such an environment is proper vent cleaning. With FilterShine, your restaurant can operate at peak performance through a comprehensive and hassle-free vent cleaning and filter replacement service.

Starts with Clean Filters

Keeping your commercial kitchen running safely and efficiently means more than just following cleaning checklists - it means taking control of your fire prevention systems at the source. While full restaurant vent cleaning is essential, your first and most frequent line of defense is the grease filter.


At FilterShine, we don’t scrape ducts or clean inside your hoods - that’s the job of a professional kitchen exhaust cleaning company. But we do something just as critical: we maintain the part of your system that protects everything downstream.

Grease Filter Exchange: The Key to a Safer, Cleaner Ventilation System

Grease filters, or commercial vent hood filters,  are designed to trap grease before it ever enters your kitchen exhaust system. But in a high-volume kitchen, filters fill up fast - and clogged filters cause:

  • Smoke buildup in the kitchen
  • Decreased airflow through your hood system
  • Higher heat and humidity for your staff
  • Grease bypassing the filters and entering the ducts
  • Increased fire risk throughout your ventilation system

That’s where we come in. FilterShine’s grease filter exchange and kitchen filter cleaning service keeps your filters clean and effective by swapping them out on a scheduled interval based on your kitchen’s needs.

How Often? Much More Than You Think

Most restaurants only schedule kitchen exhaust system cleaning quarterly or semi-annually - yet greasy restaurant hood filters can clog within days or a couple of weeks. By the time your next duct cleaning is due, your filters may already be overloaded, letting excess grease pass into the ventilation system, or worse yet, back down onto the food being prepared.



FilterShine bridges that gap. Our recurring filter exchange program keeps grease under control in the time between your scheduled vent hood and exhaust cleanings - protecting airflow, reducing risk, and making the next cleaning easier, faster, and more effective.

What We Don’t Do - and Why That Matters

We don’t clean your hoods or ducts. That’s known as kitchen exhaust system cleaning, and it’s a required service under fire code (NFPA 96). But without regular filter exchange, that ductwork gets dirtier faster, is harder to clean, and adds strain to the exhaust fan.



By maintaining your filters:

  • The kitchen exhaust system stays cleaner longer
  • Duct cleaning companies can actually access and clean what they’re supposed to
  • There’s less risk of illegal, offsite filter washing by hood cleaners
  • You stay compliant - and safer

Off-Site Cleaning to Bare Metal

Unlike many hood cleaners who may wash filters out back with a hose or in the alley (which violates environmental regulations), we clean filters off-site using a custom-engineered system that restores them to bare metal.



This improves airflow and extends the life of your ventilation system. Best of all, we do it automatically - with scheduled exchanges and no disruption to your staff.

Cost Savings and Equipment Life Extension

Clean filters don’t just protect your people - they also prevent issues like clogged ventilation systems, restaurant hood smoke problems, and rising energy costs that hurt your bottom line.



By reducing the grease load on your exhaust fans and maintaining consistent airflow, clean filters:

  • Lower energy consumption
  • Reduce HVAC strain
  • Extend the lifespan of your exhaust equipment
  • Minimize unplanned maintenance and costly repairs

When your system breathes easier, it runs longer - and costs less to operate.

Why Clean Filters Matter - Even If You Already Schedule Vent Cleaning

You still need regular vent hood and duct cleanings. But with FilterShine:

  • Your filters capture more grease at the source
  • Your kitchen breathes better between cleanings
  • Your staff works in a cooler, safer environment
  • You’re not relying on illegal or incomplete filter cleanings from kitchen exhaust companies
