Cleaning grease ducts

Cleaning extraction ducts in (commercial) kitchens is not always a top priority. However, cooking contaminates ventilation ducts. This happens at every restaurant, regular cleaning is therefore very important. Besides contamination through grease, there is also risk of development of dust, mould and bacteria.

Contamination of these ducts does not only lead to an increase in energy usage, but is also a fire and health hazard. The fire hazard of a contaminated extraction duct is enormous. Regular cleaning of grease ducts is therefore of great importance.

Cleaning extraction hood in professional kitchens

Professional kitchens are being used extensively. The extent to which a kitchen is used, is represented in the degree of grease in the grease ducts. Kitchen staff regularly cleans filters in the extraction hood, however, the extraction ducts itself are not cleaned – even though grease and dirt get into the ducts and have a negative impact on their efficiency. It is not surprising kitchen staff cannot reach the end of the ducts in order to clean them; the inside of the extraction ducts is very difficult to reach and contamination is at such a level a professional cleaning company needs to get involved.
