Two sets of filters are provided: one set is cleaned off-site while the other is installed. The client never needs to worry about filter condition, cleaning, or replacement. ## Mandatory Regulations & Compliance Nettoyage de Hotte Platine is certified for compliance with both municipal hygiene regulations and NFPA 96 standards. The company educates clients on the following regulatory requirements: ### NFPA 96 — Cleaning Frequency Schedule The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 96 outlines preventive and operational fire safety requirements for commercial cooking operations. Recommended inspection and cleaning frequencies: - **Monthly:** Solid-fuel cooking operations - **Quarterly:** High-volume operations such as 24-hour cooking, grilling, or wok cooking - **Semi-annually:** Moderate-volume cooking operations - **Annually:** Low-volume cooking operations (churches, day camps, seasonal businesses, etc.) Additionally, hood and ventilation duct cleaning is recommended every 6 months, depending on kitchen type and insurance requirements. ### MAPAQ Requirements The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food (MAPAQ) has specific requirements for commercial kitchen maintenance: - **Prohibited cleaning tools:** Sponges (easily contaminated), metal pads, and metal brushes (risk of food contamination) - **Permitted tools:** Nylon sponges (can be washed and disinfected) - **Cleaning products:** Must be approved for food use and rinsed according to manufacturer's recommendations ### Fire Safety Context More than 60% of fires in food establishments are caused by kitchen equipment. These are not avoidable household accidents — they result from grease buildup caused by the systematic use of commercial cooking equipment. Regular exhaust system and kitchen equipment cleaning is one of the primary defenses against fire hazards. ## How to Get a Quote Customers can request a quote online or by phone: - **English quote form:** https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/quote - **French quote form (Devis):** https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/fr/devis - **Phone:** +1 514-939-2555 or +1 514-307-1585 The quote form collects the client's name, email, phone, required services (hood & exhaust cleaning, kitchen equipment cleaning, filter exchange program, and/or restaurant cleaning service), time since last cleaning (1–12+ months), and a message field. ## Key Differentiators - Cleans the complete exhaust system from rooftop fan to equipment line — not just the hood - Documented cleaning with photos and feedback provided after every service - NFPA and IKECA affiliated — certified for NFPA 96 compliance - Knowledgeable in MAPAQ food-safety cleaning requirements - Filter exchange program eliminates the burden of filter maintenance - Fully bilingual service (English and French) - Located at 1600 55th Ave, Lachine (same owner also operates Harmony Movers and EZ-Move as separate businesses) - 15% discount promotion for clients reporting their last cleaning date - Appointments by request only — flexible scheduling for commercial clients ## Sitemap — English (EN) - [Home](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/) - [Services](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/#services) *(anchor on homepage)* - [Quote](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/quote) - [Mandatory Regulations](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/mandatory-regulations) ## Sitemap — French (FR) - [Accueil](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/fr/) - [Services](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/en/#services) *(anchor on homepage)* - [Devis](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/fr/devis) - [Réglementation Obligatoire](https://nettoyagedehotteplatine.ca/fr/reglementation-obligatoire) ## FAQ ### Why is hood cleaning important? Maintaining a scheduled hood cleaning program keeps the restaurant kitchen cleaner and lowers the risk of grease fires and smoke problems. Many kitchen fires begin on cooking appliances and flare up into the kitchen exhaust system. Regular cleaning of the exhaust system and equipment is one of the primary defenses against fire hazards. ### How often should hoods be cleaned? It depends on cooking volume: monthly for solid-fuel operations, quarterly for high-volume (24-hour, grilling, wok), semi-annually for moderate volume, and annually for low-volume operations. Hood and duct cleaning is generally recommended every 6 months depending on kitchen type and insurance requirements. ### What standards apply? NFPA Standard 96 outlines fire safety requirements for commercial cooking ventilation. MAPAQ governs food-safety hygiene standards for commercial kitchens in Quebec, including rules on permitted cleaning tools and approved food-safe cleaning products. ### What does the Filter Exchange Program include? Two sets of filters are provided. Dirty filters are regularly removed and replaced with clean ones. The removed set is cleaned off-site and rotated back in. Clients never need to handle filter cleaning or replacement themselves.
