Regular duct cleaning is essential for ventilation odour prevention. The last thing you want in your business is a whiffy smell putting your customers off and leaving your staff eager to get out of there. See below on how regular kitchen duct cleaning can prevent such stenches.

Where is that Smell Coming from?

One of the most common reasons for a lingering workplace odour is a build up of dust and odour-causing particles in the ventilation system.

The good news is that this can be easily fixed and prevented by regularly cleaning your ventilation ducts.

How Often should you Get your Ductwork Cleaned?

How often you’re obligated to have your ductwork cleaned depends on the level of usage. For businesses with an active kitchen, it’s especially important to have ductwork cleaned to prevent risk of fire.

As below, usage of 2-6 hours per day requires annual professional duct cleaning. Moderate use, of 6 – 12 hours per day requires professional duct cleaning every six months. Heavy use of 12 – 16 hours per day requires duct cleaning four times a year, every three months.
