Clean extraction and air ducts for safety
Did you know that in the Netherlands, one to two restaurants burn down every week because of a dirty exhaust duct? It is, therefore, important to clean exhaust ducts regularly to avoid unpleasant consequences. The same goes for cleaning air ducts. Air ducts are very important to optimise the indoor climate in your premises. If such a duct is not properly maintained, the performance of the ventilation system decreases. This causes dust, mould and bacteria to accumulate. A dirty air duct can lead to health problems.
Cleaning from hood to motor
For air duct cleaning, we use rotary brush machines. We replace the filters and efficiently dispose of the loosened contamination. When cleaning exhaust ducts in commercial kitchens, we work in a similar way. We clean the entire duct, including the hood and the motor. If a duct is very heavily soiled, we perform an intensive, manual cleaning. In most cases, we can perform this when the kitchen is not in use, so you are not disturbed in your work and capacity.

FAQ
Can I clean my ventilation ducts myself?
It is not advisable to clean exhaust ducts and air ducts yourself. A duct travels a route, so it is not possible to remove dirt at all locations. Cleaning ventilation ducts requires specialised equipment and expertise to be effective and safe.
How often should ducts and mechanical ventilation in a restaurant be cleaned?
We recommend an annual exhaust and air duct inspection. During such an inspection, we determine whether cleaning is necessary at that time. Catering entrepreneurs are obliged to have their exhaust and ventilation systems cleaned regularly according to HACCP guidelines. Also, fire insurers often require periodic cleaning to maintain coverage.
Can I check if my exhaust and air ducts need cleaning?
There are several indicators that can indicate a need for duct cleaning. These include a reduction in air quality, unusual odours or noises coming from the ducts or reduced performance. You can always have an inspection carried out by our professionals.
What is the difference between extraction ducts and air ducts?
Exhaust ducts are used to remove cooking fumes, grease and smoke from kitchens, while air ducts are designed for ventilation and air circulation in a building. Both need regular cleaning, but exhaust ducts require more frequent maintenance due to grease build-up.
What are the benefits of professional exhaust duct cleaning?
Professional cleaning ensures thorough removal of grease and dirt, extends the life of ventilation systems, reduces energy costs and increases fire safety.
What are the consequences of poorly maintained exhaust ducts?
Poorly maintained exhaust ducts can lead to increased fire risk, poor air quality, mould and odour nuisance. This can also lead to insurance problems in case of fire.
