Iron & Light Coaching
Building the Future of Professional Hood Cleaning
Iron & Light Coaching is the educational and leadership arm of Southwest Cleaning and Virus Disinfection LLC, created to train, certify, and empower the next generation of professional hood cleaning technicians, business owners, and safety leaders.
Founded by real working experts in NFPA 96, IKECA, OSHA, and EPA compliance, Iron & Light Coaching bridges the gap between hands-on experience and code-based mastery.
Our mission is simple:
To raise the bar for quality, safety, and professionalism in the hood cleaning industry—worldwide.
Our Philosophy
Iron represents the craft — the physical skill.
Light represents knowledge — the understanding of why and how to do the work right.
When you combine the two, you don’t just create technicians — you create professionals who understand the responsibility that comes with cleaning systems designed to prevent fires and save lives.
That’s the foundation of Iron & Light Coaching: strength and wisdom combined.
What We Teach
Our courses are built from real-world experience and aligned with the standards that govern professional hood cleaning worldwide:
NFPA 96 – Fire code compliance for ventilation systems
IKECA – Inspection, cleaning, and documentation standards

Every student learns the same level of precision and documentation that Southwest Cleaning applies in the field daily across Charlotte, Sarasota, Lee, and Collier Counties.
