Why Etobicoke restaurants need NFPA 96-compliant cleaning
The Ontario Fire Code references NFPA 96 directly, and in Etobicoke it is enforced by Toronto Fire Services. If a kitchen fire occurs at your Etobicoke restaurant and you cannot produce current NFPA 96 documentation, your insurer can deny the claim entirely, leaving you personally on the hook for property damage, lost revenue, and any liability from injuries.
A cheap cleaner who polishes the hood and skips the riser and fan blade leaves you exposed exactly where kitchen fires actually start. We clean the whole system or we don't take the job.

Frequently asked questions about hood cleaning in Etobicoke
How quickly can you get to a restaurant in Etobicoke?
At 1 AM the Gardiner and the 427 are empty, so Etobicoke is one of our fastest overnight runs. We can usually be on site for the free walkthrough within a day or two, and most cleanings are scheduled overnight within the following week.
Who inspects kitchen exhaust systems in Etobicoke?
Toronto Fire Services. Etobicoke is part of the City of Toronto, so TFS inspectors enforce the Ontario Fire Code, which adopts NFPA 96 for commercial cooking equipment. Inspectors look for proof that your hood, ducts and rooftop fan have been cleaned on the right schedule. Our certificate and photo documentation are exactly what they ask to see.
Which parts of Etobicoke do you serve?
All of it: The Queensway, The Kingsway, Islington, Mimico, Humber Bay Shores, New Toronto, Long Branch, Alderwood, Rexdale and the airport corridor, including the hotel and banquet kitchens along Dixon Road.
Do you clean during service hours?
No. We schedule overnight or during your closed hours, typically between 11 PM and 4 AM, so your kitchen is clean, dry and ready before the next service. Daytime slots are available for ghost kitchens and commissaries that close during the day.
What if my system hasn't been cleaned in years?
That's a normal call for us. Heavy buildup takes longer and occasionally needs a second visit to reach bare metal through the full duct run, but it's recoverable. We'll tell you honestly at the evaluation what condition the system is in and what it will take, including whether access panels are missing, which is the most common reason a system that was "cleaned" still fails inspection.
Will I get documentation my insurer will accept?
Yes, with every service: before-and-after photos of the hood, ducts and fan, plus a written compliance certificate recording the date, the scope of work and the NFPA 96 standard applied. Keep it on file. It's the first thing an insurer asks for after a kitchen fire.
Do you handle pressure washing or graffiti in Etobicoke too?
Yes, same crew and same service area. Restaurant patios, drive-thru lanes, loading docks, dumpster pads and building exteriors, plus graffiti removal on brick, glass, metal and painted surfaces.
