CAPTIVE AIRE Surfactant Cleaner & Degreaser 2 Gallon Exhaust Hood

Description

Product Overview

CAPTIVE AIRE’s surfactant industrial strength cleaner and degreaser is formulated for the demanding environment of commercial kitchen exhaust systems. Packaged in a 2‑gallon clear container, the product delivers a high‑density surfactant blend that penetrates and lifts baked‑on grease, carbon buildup, and oily residues that accumulate on hood filters, ducts, and fire suppression components. The biodegradable composition meets USDA A1 certification, ensuring that the cleaning process is both effective and environmentally responsible. With a weight of 20 pounds per container, the solution provides a balance of portability and volume, allowing maintenance crews to cover extensive hood networks without frequent refills.

Engineered for self‑cleaning exhaust hood systems, the formula works in tandem with CORE fire protection mechanisms to reduce the risk of grease‑fuelled fires. The clear, non‑toxic liquid is free from harsh solvents, making it safe for metal surfaces, stainless steel, and fire suppression nozzles. Its surfactant action reduces surface tension, allowing the cleaner to spread evenly and break down stubborn deposits, while the biodegradable agents decompose naturally after use, minimizing environmental impact. The product is not discontinued and carries the part number WWDETER-2G, ensuring easy reference for inventory management.

Usage

Designed for restaurant owners, kitchen managers, and professional cleaning contractors, this degreaser is ideal for routine maintenance of self‑cleaning exhaust hood systems. Apply the solution according to the manufacturer’s recommended dilution ratio, typically a 1:1 mix with water for standard cleaning cycles, or use undiluted for heavy‑duty grease removal. The cleaner can be introduced into the hood’s automatic cleaning cycle, where it circulates through the ductwork, filters, and fire suppression nozzles, ensuring comprehensive coverage. After the cleaning cycle, the system flushes with water, leaving a residue‑free surface that is ready for the next cooking session.

Beyond exhaust hood cleaning, the product is suitable for use in fire suppression system maintenance, grease trap cleaning, and other commercial kitchen components where oil buildup is a concern. Its biodegradable nature makes it compliant with local environmental regulations, and the USDA A1 certification reassures users of its safety for food‑service environments. The 2‑gallon size provides enough volume for multiple cleaning cycles, reducing the need for frequent re‑ordering and supporting cost‑effective operation.
