A commercial kitchen is a hot, busy, loud place when in use. Keeping it clean requires a dedication by everyone working there, ensuring that everything is keep clean and that standards are maintained.

But there are areas of the kitchen which are left out of the day-to-day cleaning procedures. Beneath, behind and even inside large appliances, all places where dirt and grease will build up. Getting your kitchen thoroughly and totally clean is something that should be done on a fairly regular basis.

Aside from these places, the other place that is often ignored is the extractor. Both the ducts and the fan behind the extractor vents will collect a skin of grime and grease over time.

The kitchen produces steam and vapours that carry all sorts of detritus into the vents. The problem is that as this grease builds up, it traps dirt and fluff.

A thick layer of fat and debris eventually builds up which can be ignited with a single stray spark or flame. This constitutes a significant fire hazard, and is the reason that you need a professional extractor cleaning service.

Hot, humid, and greasy conditions aren't just a fire hazard, they will become a magnet for insects such as cockroaches and are likely to grow an unhealthy layer of mould over the top.
