Rangehood cleaning is a must – whether you’re in a residential or commercial space. Even as annoying as maintenance can be, upkeep means you’re able to effectively keep smoke out of the area and remove grease when it’s most needed.
Without frequent maintenance and a bit of TLC, unnecessary dramas can easily unfold (all of which can be costly). So in order to avoid any hiccups, we’ve put together a few reasons why it’s important to enlist the help of professionals to clean out your range hood and fan.
Diagnose problems before it’s too late
If you regularly have your range hood professionally cleaned, potential issues can be diagnosed and snuffed out before they become problematic. Keep an eye out for signs that show that your appliance is due for repairs or maintenance. If you’re seeing smoke hovering around your space without it wanting to budge, or the motor of your fan seems to be humming loudly, chances are it’s time to call in an expert.
You will save money in the long run
Having an exhaust fan that is consistently clean and well-maintained will help avoid expensive repairs over time (trust us). These fans are the number one way to keep grease and fumes out of your kitchen space, so keeping it all up-to-scratch is critical.
It’s especially important for business owners and commercial kitchens
As commercial kitchens are used around the clock (more often than not), exhaust range hood cleaning is even more paramount for businesses. As the system fills up with gunk and grime due to a lack of maintenance, the equipment runs the risk of igniting – and without warning. In a space like a hospitality kitchen, a kindling flame can easily cause a lot of damage, extremely quickly.
Insurance claims can also be rejected on the basis of hazards, which can be a huge issue for business owners. Worse still, it can lead to a breach in health and safety guidelines, which have, in the past, resulted in fines or even business closures.
Cleaning your own exhaust system can be dangerous
Keeping your exhaust system in good knick can be a complex and potentially dangerous task. High places, greasy surfaces and the use of chemical cleaning products can create a cocktail of potential hazards for staff looking to do a bit of DIY. If this work also isn’t carried out professionally, you also run the risk of it not being completed properly (or safely). All in all, these simmering issues can lead to other hazards for business owners, including potential fires, appeals for compensation by any injured staff and rejected insurance claims.
