Frequent cleaning ensures your expensive commercial hood system keeps working at optimal efficiency, and baffle filters have handles on either side to facilitate easy removal.
How often should you clean commercial hood filters?
Busy restaurants should clean commercial hood filters daily, while less busy establishments should clean them at least weekly. If you're not sure which category your business falls under, check the baffle grease filter at the end of the day for a few days in a row and see how much fat, oil, and grease has built up.

Stainless steel hood filters can be cleaned by hand, in a soak tank, or in a high-temperature commercial dishwasher. If you are cleaning your commercial hood filter in a high-temperature dishwasher, ensure you've removed the excess grease buildup before putting it in the dishwasher.
