Health departments grade on what they find, not on your effort. Dry ice cleaning eliminates grease, biofilm, and carbonized buildup from hoods, fryers, conveyor ovens, and tile grout — down to bare metal, with zero chemicals on your food surfaces. FDA and USDA approved. Dutch Bros, Krispy Kreme, and Raley's subsidiaries trust us.
Years of baked-on grease, carbon, and buildup removed in a single session — down to bare metal. No chemicals. No residue. No secondary mess.
National QSR and food service brands that can't afford a failed health inspection — and trust Alpine to keep them compliant.
— The result that keeps national QSR brands coming back to Alpine
Chemical degreasers require dwell time, don't reach into crevices, leave chemical film on surfaces, and never get to bare metal. Dry ice does what chemicals can't.
Dry ice sublimates completely — nothing is left on your food-contact surfaces. No chemical residue, no rinsing required, no concern about chemical contamination of your product. FDA and USDA approved.
Inside hood flue channels, behind fryer baffles, inside oven cavities, in conveyor track grooves — dry ice reaches every surface. Chemical degreaser pools at the bottom and misses vertical and overhead surfaces.
A typical hood and ventilation system that takes a chemical crew 6–8 hours takes Alpine 2–3 hours. Down to bare metal, not just "visually clean." The difference matters on your next health inspection.
Inspectors check where you can't see — inside hoods, behind equipment, in drain channels. Dry ice cleaning provides the kind of thorough clean that holds up to the most rigorous inspection. Our clients pass consistently.
National brands like Dutch Bros, Krispy Kreme, and Raley's rely on recurring Alpine service. Monthly or quarterly maintenance keeps grease buildup manageable, reduces fire risk, and ensures you're always inspection-ready.
We clean after close and before open — minimizing kitchen downtime. No production impact, no smell from chemicals lingering when guests arrive, and a spotless kitchen ready for the morning rush.
From the hood above to the floor drain below — if grease, carbon, or buildup is there, Alpine removes it. Down to bare metal.
Hood faces, filters, baffles, flue channels, and exhaust fans — cleaned to bare metal inside and out. Eliminates the grease buildup that creates fire hazards and fails health inspections.
Remove years of polymerized grease and carbon buildup from fryer exteriors, heating elements, drip pans, and surrounding equipment. The job that made us "Kryptonite for even the thickest grease."
Interior and exterior oven cleaning, burner grates, convection fan housings, and range surfaces. Baked-on carbon and grease removed without chemicals or abrasives that would damage surfaces.
Donut conveyors, pizza ovens, and continuous production equipment — cleaned in place without disassembly. Rust, grease, and buildup stripped from frames, drives, and belts.
Clean coils, condenser units, drain channels, and interior walls of walk-in refrigeration without introducing chemicals or water that could damage refrigeration components or contaminate stored food.
Pre-inspection, pre-opening, or annual deep clean — we handle the entire kitchen in a single overnight session. Everything from hood to floor drain, ready for your toughest health inspector.
Yes. Dry ice blasting is FDA and USDA approved for use in food processing and food service environments. The CO₂ sublimates completely — there is absolutely no residue left on food-contact surfaces. It's actually more food-safe than chemical degreasers, which leave chemical film that must be thoroughly rinsed before use.
Dry ice blasting removes the grease, carbon, and buildup that chemical cleaning leaves behind — including inside hoods, behind fryer baffles, and in areas an inspector checks that your crew can't reach. Many of our clients schedule pre-inspection deep cleans. The results speak for themselves: bare metal, not just "visually clean."
Yes. We offer monthly, quarterly, and custom-frequency maintenance programs. Recurring clients receive priority scheduling, consistent pricing, and the peace of mind that their kitchen stays inspection-ready year-round. Dutch Bros, Krispy Kreme, and Raley's subsidiaries are recurring clients for exactly this reason.
A hood and ventilation system clean typically takes 2–3 hours. A full kitchen deep clean (hood, fryers, ovens, conveyor, walk-ins) ranges from 4–8 hours depending on kitchen size and buildup level. We schedule overnight to be completely clear before your morning opening.
No. Dry ice sublimates — it disappears entirely. There's no chemical odor, no residue, and no cleanup for your crew. The kitchen is ready for immediate use when you open. This is one of the key advantages over chemical degreasing, which often leaves a detergent smell that dissipates slowly.
Hood and ventilation system cleans typically range from $800–$2,500. Full kitchen deep cleans (hood, fryers, ovens, conveyor, walk-ins) range from $2,000–$8,000 depending on kitchen size and buildup level. Pre-inspection cleans and recurring monthly programs are available at preferential rates. We schedule overnight so there's zero impact on your operations.

No. Dry ice rates 1.5–2 on the Mohs hardness scale (out of 10) — far softer than stainless steel, aluminum, or cast iron. The cleaning action is driven by thermal shock and rapid sublimation, not abrasion. It removes baked-on grease and carbon without scratching surfaces, stripping coatings, or voiding equipment warranties.
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) formed into small pellets approximately 3mm in diameter. The CO₂ used is reclaimed and recycled food-grade gas — the same type of CO₂ used in carbonated beverages. On contact with a surface, it sublimates directly from solid to gas, expanding 800x in volume. No liquid phase. No residue. Nothing left on your food-contact surfaces.
Minimal. Dry ice sublimates completely — it disappears as CO₂ gas. What remains is only the dislodged grease, carbon, and food residue that was removed. We collect and dispose of all debris as part of the service. Your kitchen is ready for use when we leave — no chemical film to rinse, no moisture to dry, no odor to air out.
