Hood cleaning in Salem, Oregon
Salem is where Oregon Hood Cleaning is based. When a Salem kitchen calls, there is no drive time to work around and no route to fit into. Our crews and our trucks are here, and the owner who answers the after-hours phone lives here too. Salem has close to 600 restaurants, and every one of them is a local call for us.
The kitchens we clean in Salem
Salem's kitchens are unusually institutional for a city its size. Salem Health is the largest employer in town and runs a 24-hour kitchen. The State of Oregon's capitol campus has cafeterias. Willamette University and Chemeketa have dining halls. The state prison system's kitchens are here. Add the State Fair, the hotels off Market Street and Mission, and the downtown and Lancaster Drive restaurant strips, and you get everything from low-volume annual cleanings to 24-hour high-volume quarterlies.
Who inspects hood cleaning in Salem
The Salem Fire Department enforces the Oregon Fire Code in Salem, and Polk County Fire District No. 1 covers much of West Salem. The Oregon Fire Code adopts NFPA 96, so a Salem kitchen is expected to be cleaned on the interval its cooking type requires and to have a record of it when the inspector visits.
How we schedule Salem
Because we are local, Salem kitchens get the most flexible scheduling in our territory. Overnight, early morning, a Sunday between services, or a same-week slot when an inspection is coming.
What we run into in Salem kitchens
Because Salem is home, we see the whole life of a kitchen here: the opening clean on a system inherited from the last tenant, the quarterly routine, the fan that squeals on a Friday, and the inspection that comes with a reinspection date. There is no situation in a Salem kitchen we have not already handled a few blocks away.
Bare metal, rooftop to stovetop, with proof
Every Salem job gets a certificate of service, a dated hood sticker, and a time-stamped photo report the office checks against the job checklist before it goes out. Fire marshal, insurer, and health inspector each get what they ask for from one packet.
