I am a hood cleaner that has been doing this for around 4 years. I was taught by my exfather-inlaw and used a powder caustic and a industrial strength degreaser. I have been introduced to a chemical that is 35% caustic by volume and bio-degradable. The hood cleaning chemical is a gel form, which allows it to stick to the hood and do its magic. It is easily applied with a back pack sprayer or a home depot sprayer. This chemical doesn't try to remove the grease by heat but it pulls the oil out of the grease and will start running off the hood before you even start to pressure wash. It takes around two-three gallons to do the whole system from the fan, duct, and hood (approx. 15ft. hood with one fan.) This chemical is very strong in non deluted form. It not only does one heck of a job, it is very time saving. We also have the same chemical in degreaser form which we apply with spray bottles and used to wipe the hood down. After degreasing the hood, we make it polish with our special Stainless Steel Polish. These are the chemicals I use every day and I will never use any other. The chemical is made by a PHD chemist.
