DEEP CLEANING FOR KITCHENS, EXTRACTOR HOODS, FANS AND DUCTING.
Read about how we perform a professional kitchen clean;
To maintain a healthy, compliant Kitchen Extractor Fan and ventilation system, a regular deep clean is mandatory. Our full Kitchen Cleaning Service offers a wide variety of deep cleaning solutions specific to each part of the commercial Kitchen. Our professionals have been trained regarding food safe degreasing, extractor hoods/fans and Grease traps.
We disassemble each part of the Extractor Fan to provide an efficient clean. Once we have dismantled the Extractor Fan, we then use our eco-conscious cleaning products, including our food-grade detergent, which is environmentally friendly and toxin-free, ensuring a clean and healthy kitchen! Our deep clean usually takes 5 – 7 hours, depending on the previous service provided with a detailed analysis of our clean and a 6-month reminder of when your next service is due!
THE WHY?
HYGIENE
Continuous extraction and ventilation quickly leads to a greasy build up in the Extractor Hood, Fan and Ducted Vent system. Creating an incredibly fertile setting for bacteria growth. If this is not taken care of within a reasonable period, debris may pass from the extractor back into the kitchen when not in use, making it unhygienic cycle as bacteria re-enters the kitchen environment.
FIRE RISK
The extractor hood system is crucial to ventilation and extraction of heat, smoke and air-borne bacteria. Did we mention the greasy build up and the Fire Risk this poses? As this is a bonafide fire hazard it is deemed a Safety Risk by the department of Health & Safety thus a SANS compliant cleaning service and intervals is not only good maintenance, but it is the law too.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
According to the law & most insurance policies, you are required to degrease your extraction system six-monthly in line with the SANS Code: 1850:2012.

THE HOW?
Our X-treme cleaning team follows a step-by-step process to ensure you have a clean, hygienic and safe kitchen environment. We offer a full kitchen cleaning service and a full Extractor Hood, Extractor Fan and Extractor Ducting cleaning service.
- Our team inspects the Extractor system for any damage or wear when arriving on-site.
- First, our team has a look at the extractor canopy.
- The power is shut off before working on the system
- The removal of the filters in the Extractor Fan occurs and then proceeds to give them a thorough deep clean
- Filters will be put back in, ensuring they are clean
- Any residue will be scraped off
- High pressure is used to clean all parts during this process
- Any grease or dirt in and surrounding the extractor is then removed using food grade degreaser, which is environmentally friendly and toxin-free.
- The fan motor is then given a complete wipe down and deep clean
- We remove the top of the duct to give it a thorough clean removing all unwanted substances
- A thorough clean of the baffle filter is given
- We then focus on the extractor inlet, making sure there are no blockages of any kind.
After the deep cleaning process is completed, a certificate is handed over to the customer indicating that the deep clean was satisfied with the date and name of our servicing company. This is called an extractor certification and is mainly used to show that the extractor has had its six-monthly clean

Professional Grease Trap Management for your restaurant business.
- Grease is collected and sent to a recycling facility
- Recycling – The organic fat – is then used as compost
- Commercial kitchens generate waste outside or under sinks; these traps are designed to capture food waste grease from any source of food or substance that has gone down the sinks. However, it is collected frequently depending on how busy the kitchen is. Then, it is sucked up and sent to a recycling facility and used as compost.
- X-treme cleaning uses the brown grease method when sorting the waste from the grease traps.
- Brown Grease is a lump sum of fat, oil, grease, solids, and water separated from wastewater in a grease trap which is then collected to use as a fuel feedstock.
