Whether you use a Faber chimney in your home or a stainless-steel commercial exhaust hood in a restaurant, grease, smoke, and oil deposits build up faster than you think. In Nepal’s cooking style, which is rich in oil, ghee, spices, and steam, kitchen chimneys tend to clog quickly and lose suction power.

A surface wipe isn’t enough. Professional chimney deep cleaning ensures better suction, improved hygiene, odor control, and reduced fire risks. Here’s why every home and commercial kitchen in Nepal should schedule chimney deep cleaning this winter.

For Homes: Why You Must Deep Clean Your Kitchen Chimney (Faber, Elica, Hindware, Glen, etc.)

1. Removes Thick Grease and Oil Residue

Daily Nepali cooking with mustard oil, ghee, and masala forms heavy grease inside chimney filters and ducts. This buildup decreases suction, collects grime, and may attract insects.
Deep cleaning dissolves stubborn grease and restores the chimney’s original suction efficiency.

2. Improves Suction and Keeps the Kitchen Smoke-Free

Clogged filters in Faber, Elica, Hindware, and Glen chimneys stop proper smoke extraction. This leads to lingering smell, steam, and poor indoor air quality.
Professional chimney cleaning in Nepal clears internal oil deposits, ensuring proper airflow and a fresher kitchen environment.

3. Minimizes Fire Hazards

Grease buildup inside chimneys is flammable. Prolonged cooking over gas stoves increases heat exposure, which can raise fire risks if the chimney is not clean.
Routine deep cleaning eliminates combustible residue and keeps your kitchen safe.

4. Extends Lifespan and Reduces Repair Costs

Clean filters and motors run more efficiently and last longer. Neglecting chimney maintenance can cause motor failure, suction issues, and electrical problems.
Cleaning every 3–6 months is more cost-effective than replacing a Faber or Elica chimney worth Rs. 30,000–60,000.

For Restaurants & Hotels: Commercial Kitchen Chimney & Exhaust Cleaning in Nepal

1. Heavy Grease Buildup Needs Professional Cleaning

Restaurant kitchens generate thick smoke, oil vapors, and carbon deposits that coat hoods, baffle filters, exhaust fans, and ducts.
Professional commercial exhaust cleaning removes grease and carbon buildup using high-pressure machines and industrial degreasers—improving suction and reducing fire hazards.

2. Meets Hygiene, Audit, and Safety Requirements

Hotels, cafes, cloud kitchens, and restaurants in Nepal must maintain clean chimney and duct systems to comply with hygiene inspections.
Kucho offers complete commercial kitchen hood cleaning, including:

  • Stainless-steel hood and baffle filter cleaning
  • Exhaust duct internal degreasing
  • Fan motor and blade cleaning
  • Grease drain line flushing

This keeps your kitchen odor-free, hygienic, and compliant with safety standards.

3. Boosts Exhaust Fan Efficiency & Lowers Electricity Consumption

When motors and ducts are clogged, the exhaust system works harder, consuming more energy.
Deep cleaning reduces friction, restores airflow, and helps maintain optimal exhaust fan performance—cutting electricity costs.

4. Prevents Costly Breakdown and Downtime

Replacing commercial exhaust ducts or heavy-duty motors is expensive and can disrupt restaurant operations.
Regular hood and duct cleaning prevents overheating, corrosion, and system damage, saving money and ensuring uninterrupted kitchen service.

Expert Tips for Better Chimney Maintenance

  • Avoid using harsh detergents on metal filters—they reduce lifespan.
  • Use warm water with a mild degreaser for monthly cleaning.
  • Schedule professional chimney deep cleaning every 3–6 months.
  • Empty the oil collector tray regularly.
  • Do not use acid-based cleaners on stainless-steel panels.

Final Thoughts

Whether you run a restaurant or cook daily at home, chimney and exhaust deep cleaning is essential for better hygiene, safety, and performance. Because Nepali cooking involves heavy oil use and strong spices, chimneys in Kathmandu homes and restaurants clog faster than expected.
