Dust, grease and contamination need different approaches. Planned duct, coil and air handling unit cleaning helps manage build-up in the spaces where people work and gather.
Commercial HVAC cleaning02 · Kitchen exhaustManage grease before it becomes a risk.
Grease deposits in canopies, filters, ducts and fans can fuel kitchen exhaust fires. A site-specific cleaning schedule helps manage that build-up and reduce avoidable disruption to trade.

Straight answers on the Australian standards for HVAC and kitchen exhaust cleaning. Something else? Call (03) 9303 9661.
HVAC cleaningDo my HVAC ducts need to be inspected every month?
Although Australian Standard AS 3666.2 details that HVAC ducts and coils should be inspected monthly, in practice this is not always necessary. A professional HVAC cleaning company like Clean Air Filtration will advise how often your ducts should be inspected to comply with the standard.
HVAC cleaningHow often should I clean my ducts and AHU coils?
AS 3666.2 specifies that ducts and coils are cleaned “when necessary”. In practice, for most systems, this is at least once per year.
Kitchen canopy & exhaustHow often do I need to clean my kitchen canopy and exhausts?
Australian Standard AS 1851 states that canopies and exhausts should be cleaned at least once every 12 months. Best practice is often more frequent, depending on the fuel (solid or non-solid), the food cooked and how often you cook. A better guide: clean when grease build-up exceeds 0.2 mm on average across the system, or 2 mm in any one spot.
Kitchen canopy & exhaustWhy clean a commercial kitchen?
The primary reason is to prevent a kitchen fire, but there are five more: compliance (non-compliance with AS 1851 can lead to fines); odours (grease breeds mould and bacteria); pests (grease and mould attract rats and mice); health (grease and bacteria near food preparation can cause sickness); and equipment life (clean canopies, fans and ducts run efficiently and break down less).

We look after restaurants, cafes, hotels, clubs, schools, hospitals and offices across metropolitan Melbourne and Geelong, with most work done after hours so your business keeps trading.
Kitchen canopy and exhaust cleaning
Grease build-up in canopies, filters, exhaust ducts and fans increases fire risk. Our AS 1851 kitchen exhaust cleaning is scoped to your system and site access, with a photo report after each clean.
Grease filter exchange
Our filter exchange program swaps dirty canopy grease filters for clean ones on a regular schedule, so your kitchen always has working filters and your staff never have to scrub them.

Our deep cleans cover walls, floors, ceilings, equipment, cool rooms and canopies, leaving your kitchen ready for inspections and service.
Kitchen equipment cleaning
Ovens, fryers, grills and other kitchen equipment cleaned and degreased to support kitchen hygiene and routine equipment care.
