Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

Kitchen Exhaust System Cleaning

The essential part of kitchen maintenance and hygiene is having your kitchen cleaned regularly. Grease and fat deposits in commercial kitchens are a serious fire risk. Aside from the increased risk of fire, grease accumulation drastically reduces the efficiency of the system by shortening the life of the fan unit, slowing the rate of air flow, reducing the breathability of the duct. They should be removed from your kitchen canopy, duct, fan unit and external vent on a regular basis, in line with your regulator’s requirements.

A proper kitchen exhaust cleaning and maintenance reduces the fuel load and keeps your system cleaned and maintained. We at SANCO are experts in the field of commercial kitchen exhaust cleaning services and our experience has enabled us to develop best hood cleaning techniques.

Choose the Right Cleaning Frequency for Your Kitchen

SANCO’s team schedules recurring visits (monthly, bi-monthly, or every three months) after kitchen operating hours to clean exhaust hoods and grease filters thoroughly and professionally for clients who require regular kitchen exhaust maintenance and cleaning. To minimize disruption, we also carry out overnight cleaning for late-closing kitchens, as well as on Sundays and public holidays, ensuring your kitchen remains safe, compliant, and operational.

How often should kitchen exhaust hoods and filters be cleaned?

The most common cleaning frequency for an average restaurant is every 3 Months/Quarterly, but the ideal frequency depends on your cooking type and volume. Kitchens with heavier, oilier, or high-volume cooking typically need monthly or bi-monthly cleaning, while lighter cooking may require less frequent service. Systems over charcoal-burning stoves, BBQ grills, tandoori ovens, or Chinese wok ranges usually need more frequent cleaning than kitchens focused on methods like steaming. To determine the most suitable schedule for your operation, SANCO’s team inspects your kitchen exhaust system and advises you on the optimal cleaning frequency tailored to your setup.
