Kitchen Extraction Duct Cleaning

In commercial and industrial kitchens, sophisticated extraction systems are essential for removing smoke, odors, and steam from cooking areas, thereby preventing these fumes from infiltrating dining spaces or adjacent areas. Over time, these systems accumulate substantial amounts of grease, oil, and smoke residue. This buildup necessitates regular inspections and cleanings to adhere to both local and international safety standards, thereby mitigating the risk of fire. Grease, debris, and other pollutants can stick to the duct walls, significantly increasing the likelihood of fires and extensive property damage. Kitchen ductwork is particularly prone to fires due to the accumulation of combustible materials inside the ducts. Regular kitchen duct cleaning is critical to minimizing fire hazards and ensuring compliance with regulations.

Commercial and industrial kitchens depend on advanced ventilation systems to efficiently extract smoke, odors, and steam, ensuring that these elements do not permeate dining areas or non-cooking zones. These systems, however, tend to gather large quantities of grease, oil, and smoke over time, necessitating frequent inspections and cleanings to comply with local and international regulations and prevent fire risks. The accumulation of these contaminants can adhere to duct walls, posing a significant fire hazard and potential property damage. Since more than half of restaurant fires start in the kitchen and are made worse by grease-filled ducts, it is essential to keep the ducts free of grease. Specialized kitchen duct cleaning services are required, as grease deposits tend to solidify over time. The most effective cleaning method involves manually scraping the ducts after an initial chemical treatment to restore them to a clean, safe condition.

Regular cleaning by kitchen staff is common, but larger professional systems require cleaning by kitchen extraction cleaning experts to meet NFPA#96 standards.


How Often Should You Schedule Kitchen Extraction Cleaning?

The cleaning frequency depends on factors like operational hours. Every system needs cleaning at least twice a year. High grease and continuously used systems, like those in fast food restaurants, may need more frequent cleaning to reduce hygiene risks, fire hazards, and extend the system's lifespan.

Cooking in commercial kitchens leads to the accumulation of fats, oils, and grease in extraction systems. Once hardened, this grease is impossible to remove with standard methods. Regular professional cleaning prevents health and safety issues, including fire hazards, reduced airflow, and unpleasant odors.
