Cleaning the different parts of an extractor: with examples of prices paid
The cost of cleaning your extractor varies depending on the specific parts that need maintenance.
Here are the average prices for each part, along with recommended cleaning frequencies.
Average price for cleaning the grid and plate of an extractor
This price covers the cleaning of both exterior and interior surfaces, removing grease residue to ensure optimal extractor performance.
The grid and plate of your extractor accumulate grease and dirt quickly. Monthly cleaning is recommended to prevent build-up, which can reduce suction efficiency and increase the risk of fire.
Average price for cleaning a charcoal filter
This price includes the removal, deep cleaning, or replacement of the charcoal filter if necessary.
The charcoal filter is essential for absorbing cooking odours and grease, helping to maintain healthy air in your kitchen. This filter should be cleaned or replaced every 3 to 4 months, depending on how often the extractor is used, to ensure it remains effective.
Average price for cleaning an extraction duct
This price includes a deep cleaning of the duct to remove all grease build-up and ensure optimal extraction.
The extraction duct transports fumes and vapours out of your kitchen. Over time, grease build-up can occur, reducing the efficiency of extraction and creating a potential fire hazard. It's recommended to clean the duct at least once a year for households, and more frequently for professional kitchens.
