We are probably about to ruin your day…
But Christmas is coming.
Yep. We said it.
Before long, Christmas parties will start, restaurants will get busier, end-of-year functions will fill the calendar and everyone will suddenly realise there are only so many weeks left in the year.
And commercial kitchen maintenance tends to be one of those things that’s easy to put off until the calendar gets a little too full.
If you’re thinking about having your kitchen exhaust system professionally cleaned before Christmas, now is a good time to start planning.
Why clean your kitchen exhaust before Christmas?
The lead-up to Christmas is one of the busiest times of year for commercial kitchens.
More bookings, more functions and longer service hours all mean more cooking, and more cooking means more grease building up in your canopy, ductwork and exhaust fan.
Getting your system cleaned before the rush means your kitchen goes into its busiest weeks with a clean, well-performing exhaust system.
Reduce fire risk during your busiest weeks
Grease build-up in canopies, ducts and exhaust fans is a major fire risk in commercial kitchens.
The last thing any venue needs is a problem in the middle of a fully booked Christmas service.
A professional clean removes the build-up before your kitchen is running at full capacity.
Keep your kitchen comfortable and running well
A greasy exhaust system has to work harder to pull heat, smoke and odours out of the kitchen.
When the kitchen is flat out and the weather is warming up, good extraction makes a real difference for your team.
Have your maintenance records up to date
Insurers, landlords, centre management and inspectors expect to see a documented service history for your exhaust system.
Having a recent clean on record before the end of the year means one less thing to worry about.
Signs your exhaust system is due for a clean
- Grease dripping from the edges of the canopy or filters
- Filters that look dark, sticky or clogged
- Smoke and heat not clearing from the kitchen like they used to
- A noisy, vibrating or struggling rooftop exhaust fan
- Your last full-system clean was longer ago than you can remember
