What Can You Actually Earn
Cleaning Kitchen Exhaust Systems?
Real numbers. No hype. Here's exactly what hood cleaning jobs pay, how many clients you need, and what a realistic 12-month income looks like for an LTCH graduate.
What Hood Cleaning Jobs Actually Pay
Over 1 million commercial kitchens in the U.S. are required by law to have their exhaust systems cleaned regularly. Here's what those jobs pay — and why the recurring revenue model is what makes this business so powerful.
A single account at $400 per cleaning, cleaned 4 times per year, earns you $1,600 annually from that one customer — without lifting a finger to re-sell them.

Your First 90 Days — What Actually Happens
Weeks 1–4: You land your first 2–5 accounts. Smaller restaurants are the easiest starting point. Your first jobs are slower as you build speed — completely normal.
Month 2: Referrals start coming in. Restaurant owners talk to each other. Being professional and reliable — which is rare in this industry — makes you memorable fast.
Month 3: Your route is growing. Recurring revenue starts showing up automatically every quarter. You're considering your first crew member.
Your Investment Goes Further Than You Think
Most new operators spend $15,000–$20,000 on equipment before cleaning their first hood — buying oversized or unnecessary gear based on vendor recommendations. LTCH graduates avoid this completely.
Our equipment consultation tells you exactly what to buy, where to get it, and what to skip. The savings from this guidance alone nearly covers the cost of the program for many graduates.
