VHC Vent Hood Cleaner

Heavy-Duty Vent Hood Cleaner & Degreaser | VHC™ Degreaser 220 Series

Heavy-duty caustic vent hood cleaner and degreaser. VHC™ Degreaser 220 is a strong alkaline degreaser built to break and release grease, cooking oils, fats, and carbon from vent hoods and stainless steel equipment in commercial kitchens. Its caustic strength melts carbonized and baked-on soils that lighter cleaners leave behind, while good foaming gives it excellent vertical cling for extended dwell time on overhead and upright surfaces. Fragrance-free and dye-free, it doubles as a heavy-duty paint stripper for industrial surface prep.
