Why Choose Grease Filter Exchange Services?

Here are some of the common challenges faced by restaurants and commercial kitchens that can be addressed and resolved through our Grease Filter Exchange program.

Reduce Labor

Your kitchen staff, managers, and dishwashers will no longer need to remove filters from the hood system, soak them in the sanitary 3-compartment sink, transfer them to the dishwasher, and reinstall them in the hood system.

Reduce Degreaser Costs

Eliminate the need to use gallons of degreaser to soak filters or spray and wipe them down.

Reduce Water and Energy Usage

Avoid the frequent soaking of filters in 3-compartment sinks and changing water in the dishwasher.

Helps Reduce Line Jetting

Cleaning filters in-house means all the grease goes down the drain. By eliminating this practice, you significantly reduce the chance of clogged drains.

EPA Compliance

Many hood cleaners and restaurants clean filters outside, allowing grease and caustic degreasers to flow into storm drains and waterways. Our filter exchange service eliminates this illegal practice.

Safety and Worker's Compensation

Filters are hot, slippery, and heavy. Removing them from a hood system is dangerous, often requiring employees to stand on cooking equipment or ladders. Our service mitigates this risk.

Improved Working Conditions for Chefs and Cooks

Clean filters ensure your exhaust system works correctly, resulting in less smoke and cooler temperatures on the cook lines.

Improve Morale

Nobody likes cleaning filters—leave that job to FilterShine and let your staff focus on what they do best.
