Whether your kitchen exhaust system in Singapore is located at home or an establishment, you should know how to keep it clean at all times. This is especially important if you own a restaurant where the kitchen needs to be a safe workplace.
Every establishment in Singapore requires a clean mechanical ventilation system. How should you keep your exhaust system well-maintained, anyway?
1. First, turn off any electrical components
Don’t put yourself in harm’s way! Turn off any electrical components before you get anything wet.
2. Remove the filter
The filter gathers most of the dirt, so it’s important to remove it before you clean the entire exhaust system. Remove the filter and sink it in water to loosen the particles and grease to make the next step easier to do.
3. Next, clean the filter
The next step is to clean the filter after you loosen all the particles and grease off the surface. Wear gloves and soak the filter in a cleaning agent (water and ammonia would work well) for an hour, then scrub off the remaining dirt.
4. Clean the exhaust fan
Now that you’re done cleaning the filter, move on to the exhaust fan where it’s even trickier. Clean the blades with warm water, ammonia, and baking soda, then scrub the blades back and forth to remove tough particles and grease.
5. Let the exhaust dry thoroughly
After cleaning every component, make sure everything is dry—in and out. You might break the exhaust system if you turn it on without letting it dry thoroughly beforehand.
All Food and Beverage establishments in Singapore require a monthly kitchen ventilation maintenance since they operate every day. If you can’t do it on your own, you can hire a team of experts instead.
