About Enviroclean Works

Enviroclean Works is a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning company working across metro Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia. Our crews clean hoods, filters, grease ducts, exhaust fans and rooftop grease containment to NFPA 96 standards, then leave behind before-and-after photos, a service sticker and a report your fire inspector and insurance carrier will accept. We work after close so the cook line is ready for the next shift, and we schedule restaurants, schools, hospitals, hotels, food trucks, ghost kitchens and apartment amenity kitchens on the cleaning frequency their volume actually requires.

Every quote is scoped from your equipment, roof access and cooking volume rather than a flat price list. Send your kitchen details through the quote form on any page and we will come back with the scope, the schedule and the price.
