A Decade of Proven Performance

"After more than ten years of using Grease Lock, I've seen firsthand how much cleaner the ductwork stays, how much cleaning labor it saves, and how much it reduces maintenance costs. In our experience, the system more than paid for itself within the first couple of years."

Commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning contractor shares how Grease Lock has helped reduce grease buildup, improve cleaning efficiency, and deliver long-term savings for customers.

Bentonville, AR — Grease Lock® is proud to highlight the experience of Center Point Hoodduck LLC, a commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning contractor that has relied on the Grease Lock Filter System for more than a decade to help customers maintain cleaner, safer, and more efficient kitchen exhaust systems.

Founded in 2013, Center Point Hoodduck specializes in commercial ventilation hood cleaning and maintenance. After evaluating available filtration solutions in 2015, Bobby T., owner of Center Point Hoodduck, identified Grease Lock as a solution for improving grease management in commercial kitchen exhaust systems. By 2016, he began converting corporate clients from traditional baffle filters to the Grease Lock Filter System.

Addressing Grease Buildup in Aging Exhaust Systems

Many of Center Point Hoodduck's customers operated in older commercial buildings with aging ductwork, where grease accumulation and potential fire hazards presented ongoing maintenance concerns.

By capturing up to 98% of grease vapors at the hood, the Grease Lock Filter System helps minimize grease accumulation throughout ductwork, exhaust fans, and rooftop areas.

Following installation, Bobby observed a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of his customers' exhaust systems, particularly in areas that had historically required extensive cleaning.

Improving Cleaning Efficiency and Reducing Maintenance Costs

Beyond maintaining cleaner ductwork, Grease Lock helped Center Point Hoodduck improve the efficiency of its cleaning operations. With less accumulated grease to remove, the company was able to reduce labor-intensive cleaning tasks and pass savings along to its customers.

In 2017, Bobby reduced one corporate client's cleaning contract by 10% compared with his original 2015 bid. Remarkably, that reduced pricing has remained unchanged despite rising operating costs.

His experience demonstrates how effective grease capture at the source can benefit not only commercial kitchen operators but also the service providers responsible for maintaining their exhaust systems.

By helping reduce grease accumulation before it reaches difficult-to-access areas, Grease Lock supports a more proactive approach to kitchen exhaust maintenance, allowing cleaning professionals to operate more efficiently while delivering long-term value to their customers.
