Why Clean Commercial Exhaust Fans?
Exhaust fans play a big role in removing smoke, steam, and grease-filled air from your kitchen. Over time, grease can build up inside and around the fans. This grease buildup is dangerous because it can catch fire and cause serious damage.
When exhaust fans are dirty, they don’t work as well. This means your kitchen can become hotter and smokier, which is uncomfortable for your staff and customers. It also causes your fans to use more energy and may shorten their life. Regular cleaning helps keep your fans running smoothly and safely.

How Often Should Exhaust Fans Be Cleaned?
