FilterShine USA

Hood cleaning companies are everywhere, often competing on price with little differentiation. FilterShine USA is unique – we professionalize grease filter maintenance, the first line of defense in every kitchen. That makes this opportunity and proven business model a smarter, stronger play in a crowded fire-safety industry.

While restaurants are the primary market, our services extend to any facility with a commercial kitchen – including schools, hospitals, senior living centers, resorts, casinos, & even manufacturing facilities.

The Problem

Every commercial kitchen relies on grease filters for their cooking operations – they are the first line of defense against fire. But in most restaurants, filter maintenance isn’t managed properly. Instead, it’s left to cooks, dishwashers, or even the owner, who juggle it between shifts. The result? Filters are neglected, cleaned ineffectively, monitored haphazardly by untrained staff, or installed incorrectly. That creates fire hazards, failed inspections, costly fines, and even kitchen downtime.

Filters are mandatory and crucial to safe operations, but most kitchens still rely on the wrong people to maintain them – and that gap is your opportunity.

The Solution

Our service transforms what restaurants and facilities struggle with every day: grease filter maintenance. Instead of leaving filters to cooks or dishwashers, we provide a scheduled exchange and cleaning program that restores filters to bare metal and ensures fire safety compliance.

This proven process saves kitchens time, money, and headaches – while creating recurring demand and consistent service opportunities for our franchisees. We take a daily frustration for restaurants and turn it into a structured and scalable business for you.

Why Now?

The kitchen exhaust cleaning industry is massive, generating over $1.2 billion annually and projected to keep growing as regulations tighten. But most of that market is crowded with cleaning companies fighting for contracts in a race to the bottom.

Grease filters, however, remain an underserved niche. The EPA and local municipalities are cracking down on wastewater violations and grease discharge into sewer systems. Restaurants face stricter inspections, heavier fines, and growing public scrutiny.

FilterShine USA positions franchisees as the authority solution – protecting restaurants from penalties, helping municipalities safeguard infrastructure, and keeping grease out of waterways.

Regulatory pressure is increasing on all sides – FilterShine USA makes compliance easier for everyone.

Recurring Revenue

Grease filters require ongoing maintenance, which makes our model naturally recurring. Franchisees set service intervals of every 1–8 weeks based on customer needs, using tools, training, and support from FilterShine USA. Because filters can’t be skipped, our service naturally creates steady demand. Once accounts are established, customers stay because we take the burden off their staff and ensure they remain compliant.

This is a subscription-style service – recurring work for kitchens means steady demand and recurring opportunities for you.
