Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Services in Etobicoke
Etobicoke Hood Cleaning Pros provides ten commercial kitchen cleaning services across Etobicoke and west Toronto, split into two groups. Six of them clean the kitchen exhaust system to the NFPA 96 standard, which is the fire code work. Four of them clean the kitchen itself, which is the health and appearance work. Most kitchens book from the first group on a schedule and the second group as needed. Pricing starts at $385 per visit.
Which service does your kitchen need?
The quickest way through this list is to start from the symptom rather than the service name.
| What you are dealing with | Service vs service: which one applies |
|---|---|
| An inspector or insurer asked for a cleaning certificate | Kitchen exhaust cleaning, not filter cleaning. A certificate covers the whole system. |
| Smoke hangs in the kitchen and the line is hot | Exhaust hood cleaning first, then make-up air if capture is still poor. |
| Filters look permanently dirty however often they are washed | Hood filter cleaning, and possibly replacement rather than cleaning. |
| Grease staining on the roof or a landlord complaint | Rooftop grease containment, not a hood clean on its own. |
| The last contractor said the fan could not be cleaned underneath | Exhaust fan hinge kit installation, then a full clean. |
| Fryers, ranges and the wall behind them are caked | Equipment cleaning, which is separate from the exhaust system. |
| A health inspection is due | Restaurant kitchen cleaning or a full kitchen deep clean. |
| Reopening after a closure, or an illness scare | Disinfecting and sanitizing, which is a different chemistry to degreasing. |
Exhaust system services: the fire code work
These six services clean the parts of a kitchen that NFPA 96 governs, and together they are what a compliance certificate covers.
Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning
The whole system end to end, with the duct run as the focus: access panels opened, horizontal and vertical duct scraped and degreased, riser cleaned to the fan. This is the service that produces the certificate.
Exhaust Hood Cleaning
The canopy and the plenum cavity behind the filters, taken back to bare stainless. The part everyone can see, and the cavity nobody can.
Hood Filter Cleaning
Baffle filters degreased or soak-tank cleaned, the bank checked for gaps, and warped or collapsed units flagged for replacement rather than washed again.
Rooftop Grease Containment
The upblast fan, its housing and curb, plus containment boxes and absorbent pads that keep grease off the roof membrane and out of a repair bill.
Exhaust Fan Hinge Kits
Hinge kits and safety cables so a rooftop fan tilts back safely, plus duct access panels where the run has none. Access is what makes the rest cleanable.
NFPA 96 Compliance
What the standard requires, how often, and what Toronto Fire Services looks at during an inspection. Not a service, a guide, and worth reading before you book anything.
Kitchen cleaning services: the health and appearance work
These four services clean the kitchen rather than the exhaust system, and they are booked around inspections, reopenings and equipment condition rather than on a fire code interval.
Commercial Kitchen Equipment Cleaning
Fryers, ranges, griddles, char-broilers, ovens and salamanders degreased inside and out, including the sides and backs nobody reaches during service.
Restaurant Kitchen Cleaning
A full back-of-house clean built around what a health inspection actually looks at: floors under equipment, wall and ceiling surfaces, drains, and the gaps between units.
Commercial Kitchen Deep Cleaning
The scheduled deep clean for institutional and production kitchens: walls, ceilings, shelving, extraction-adjacent surfaces and everything a nightly wipe-down never reaches.
Disinfect & Sanitize
Food-safe sanitizing after a closure, a renovation, or an illness concern. Different chemistry, different dwell times, and a different objective to degreasing.
Floor and grout cleaning are no longer offered. Kitchens needing that work are better served by a janitorial contractor, and the kitchen deep clean covers the floor surfaces that sit under and behind cooking equipment.
How much do commercial kitchen cleaning services cost in Etobicoke in 2026?
Exhaust system cleaning starts at $385 per visit for a single-hood kitchen up to ten feet, and at $725 per visit for a multi-hood kitchen of two to four canopies. Kitchen cleaning, equipment cleaning and sanitizing are quoted per kitchen after a walk-through, because the variable is square footage and equipment count rather than duct length.
Bundling matters here. A kitchen booking exhaust cleaning and equipment cleaning in the same overnight window pays less than booking them as two visits, because the setup, the protection of the line, and the wipe-down at the end only happen once. Most Etobicoke kitchens that book both do them together for that reason.
The variables behind the exhaust number are broken down on the cost page. Coverage across Etobicoke, west Toronto and the Bolton to Georgetown route is on the areas served page.
Next step: call 647-370-5780 or request a written quote. The walk-through is free and there is no obligation attached to it.
Commercial kitchen cleaning in Etobicoke: frequently asked questions
Can these services be booked separately?
Mostly yes, with one exception. Filter cleaning is not sold on its own, because washing the filters while leaving the plenum and duct loaded does not make a kitchen compliant and does not earn a certificate. Everything else can be booked as a single visit or bundled.
Which services produce a compliance certificate?
Only the exhaust system work. A signed certificate records the filters, canopy, plenum, accessible duct and rooftop fan, and it names anything that could not be reached. Kitchen cleaning, equipment cleaning and sanitizing produce a work record and photographs, not a fire code certificate.
Do you clean kitchens that are not restaurants?
Yes. Church and community hall kitchens, arena concessions, banquet rooms, contract catering operations and food production plants across Etobicoke all run commercial cooking equipment, and the same fire code applies to every one of them. Low-volume kitchens usually sit on an annual interval rather than a quarterly one.
Is the walk-through really free?
Yes. A technician looks at the canopy, opens what can be opened, checks the roof, and measures the run. You get a written quote inside 24 hours listing the work and the price. Nothing is charged unless you book, and nothing is added to a booked job without approval first.
What insurance and clearances do you supply?
WSIB clearance and liability insurance certificates are supplied before work starts. Property managers and landlords across Etobicoke ask for both as a condition of roof access, so they are sent with the quote rather than produced on the day.
