Comprehensive Kitchen Extraction Cleaning Services

Kitchen extraction systems such as ducts, filters, fans and canopies tend to attract grease and dirt. Over a period of time, the build-up of dirt and grease becomes extremely stubborn and end up reducing the efficiency of the kitchen extraction system. A faulty extraction system makes the kitchen environment unhygienic while the grease and fat accumulated on the ducts and other parts of the extraction system pose a threat of fire accident.

Professional Kitchen extraction cleaning services have the necessary cleaning equipment and trained workmen to thoroughly clean the whole kitchen extraction system.

Reasons to Opt For Kitchen Extraction Cleaning

Your kitchen extraction system might look clean from the exterior but there are many internal hard-to-access areas in the system which cannot be touched by conventional cleaning methods. Deposition of grease in such areas causes severe damage to the kitchen extraction system.

Grease build-up causes blockage in the extractor. As a result, the extractor is not able to eliminate cooking fumes and odours from the kitchen. This functional impairment is particularly serious when it comes to carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide builds up in the kitchen air due to blocked extraction system. High levels of carbon monoxide causes poisoning and death. Thus, kitchen extraction system must be subjected to thorough cleaning to eliminate the chances of harmful fumes contaminating the kitchen air.

Kitchen extraction systems cause a major percentage of fire accidents in kitchens. Fat, grease and other inflammable particles present in the ducts or vents of a kitchen extraction system are likely to catch fire leading to fire mishap. Thus, fire safety regulations also mandate regular cleaning of kitchen extraction systems.

TR-19 Compliance

Professional companies offering kitchen extraction cleaning services adhere to TR-19 guidelines. TR-19 lays down certain standards for the best cleaning practices for ventilation systems of commercial kitchens. The guidelines for proper maintenance of extractor fan, ducting and canopy form TR-19. In addition, TR-19 also specifies that the thickness of grease deposits throughout the extraction system should not exceed 0.5 mm. Professional kitchen cleaning companies ensure complete adherence to TR-19 guidelines.

Cleaning Frequency

The frequency of professionally cleaning kitchen extraction systems depends upon several factors.

If there is negligible amount of grease production, the kitchen extraction system can be cleaned within every 6-12 months depending upon hours of usage per day.

For a kitchen producing moderate amount of grease, the extraction system may require cleaning after every 3 or 6 months depending upon usage.

For a kitchen with heavy grease production, the extraction system may require cleaning after every 2-3 months.

The Benefits of Scheduling Regular Duct Cleaning for Your Kitchen

Periodic maintenance helps the furnaces to remain at their best-performing state. Maintenance includes different tasks, and duct cleaning is crucial among those tasks. Dust and dirt accumulate inside the duct. As a result, the furnace cannot operate properly. The heating performance will deteriorate, and duct particles from the vent enter the kitchen. For avoiding such nuisances, you need professional ducting cleaning services for your kitchen.


A Cleaner Kitchen Environment

Cleaning the duct regularly will keep your kitchen cleaner. In winter, dust particles come inside your kitchen through the furnace duct. The particles accumulated inside the duct enter your room. As a result, the kitchen environment becomes unhealthy.

Instead of putting more effort into cleaning the kitchen, you should find a cleaning service for the furnace duct. Regular furnace duct cleaning will keep your kitchen environment healthy. Both residential and commercial kitchens should undergo regular duct cleaning.

Airflow Efficiency

The airflow efficiency of the furnace will get reduced drastically due to dust build-up in the duct. Sometimes, insects and rodents damage the chimney. Thus, the airflow efficiency of a furnace gets further reduced. In such a scenario, the furnace will not provide the best air circulating service.

No Unpleasant Dour

Not cleaning the duct for more than a few months will cause mold formation inside the vent. Due to mold formation, an unpleasant musty smell will come inside your room. Apart from the foul odor, mold formation can have some dire impacts on your health. It can lead to respiratory problems, skin allergies, and other physical discomforts. Regular duct cleaning service will omit the chance of mold formation.

Breathe Easier

Dust and mold build-up inside the filter and duct will make the kitchen unpleasant for breathing. Due to improper air flow, humidity inside the home can drop or rise sharply. In both conditions, it will cause skin problems, breathing difficulties, etc.
