Which statement about hood cleaning is true?

Top-to-bottom, front-to-back cleaning is the proper approach because gravity pulls loosened grease downward and you clean surfaces in an order that minimizes recontamination, moving from the most exposed front area toward the back so you don’t drag dirty residues across cleaned sections. Spraying cleaners into the hood is avoided because spray can penetrate into the hood and ductwork, bypass filters, leave residues, and create fire and air-quality hazards. Bottom-to-top cleaning would push grease upward onto surfaces you’ve already cleaned, making the process less effective, and using only dry cloths won’t remove grease adequately. Hood cleaning is a required maintenance task, not optional.
