The regularity of cleaning of your kitchen extract system depends on the hours of work that the kitchen sees per day. Annual cleaning is a must for all kitchen extract systems, but depending upon the intensity of work, monthly cleaning might be necessary for your extract systems to be on top of its game.
It’s important to note that even though your staff may clean the visible areas of the ducts and extraction system, more intensive, deep cleaning is necessary for the kitchen extract system to be up to par. This requires trained teams and the right equipment to do so, since the nooks and crannies of the system are hard to reach, and untrained cleaning of these places might end up doing more
harm than good.
