Indian cooking, especially in Gurgaon homes, involves heavy frying, tadka, and oil. Over time, this thick, sticky grease gets sucked into your kitchen chimney. If left uncleaned, it drips oil onto your stove, reduces suction power, and becomes a severe fire hazard. But what kind of cleaning do you actually need?
Normal Cleaning (Baffle Filter Wash)
What is it? Normal cleaning is basic maintenance. A technician removes the outer baffle filters (the steel mesh plates you can see) and washes them using hot water and standard degreasers. They also wipe down the outer glass or steel body.
When to do it: Every 2 to 3 months.
What it fixes: It keeps the exterior looking clean and prevents light oil from dripping. However, it does not clean the internal motor or the blower fan, which is where the real grease gets trapped.
Chemical Deep Cleaning (Full Dismantling)
What is it? This is a complete overhaul. The technician uninstalls the chimney from the wall, completely opens the motor housing, and extracts the blower fan. These internal parts, along with the filters, are soaked in a heated bath of industrial-grade caustic chemicals to dissolve years of rock-hard, sticky grease.
When to do it: Once a year (before Diwali is the best time!).
What it fixes:
- Restores 100% original suction power.
- Fixes loud vibrating noises caused by uneven grease on the blower fan.
- Removes the fire hazard of accumulated oil inside the motor housing.
Which One Do You Need?
If your chimney sounds like a tractor, vibrates heavily, or isn't sucking smoke effectively even after you wash the filters, you absolutely need a Chemical Deep Clean. If you just had a deep clean 3 months ago, a Normal Clean will suffice.
