Frequently Asked Questions

Do you clean hoods for restaurants around the Arcata Plaza?

Yes. Arcata is a regular part of our route, plaza restaurants included. Because we are based in Eureka rather than out of the area, getting a crew to Arcata is routine scheduling, not a special trip.

Can you clean a school or campus kitchen hood over a break?

Yes, and breaks are the ideal window. Institutional kitchens that run heavily during term and sit quiet over a break are much easier to service properly when nobody is cooking. Call ahead so we can hold the dates.

How far ahead should an Arcata restaurant book a hood cleaning?

The further ahead the better, particularly if you need a specific night. If you are on a quarterly or semiannual NFPA 96 schedule we can put the next visit on the calendar before we leave, so it never lapses.
