Needing to clean an exhaust duct in a Commercial Kitchen? Or where there is heavy build up of grease, carbon and other contaminants?  This is the brush for you.

Manual Cleaning Process Using a Round Galvanized Steel Wire Brush (Flue Cleaning Brush)

1. Safety & Preparation

• Turn Off Power: Shut down the exhaust fan and disconnect gas/electricity to prevent accidents.
• Protect Kitchen Equipment: Cover appliances and surfaces with plastic sheets to catch falling debris.
• Wear Proper PPE: Use gloves, safety glasses, a face mask, and non-slip boots for protection.

2. Initial Grease Breakdown

• Apply a Heavy-Duty Degreaser: Spray or brush on a commercial degreaser and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to soften grease buildup.
• Loosen Surface Grease: Use a scraper or putty knife to remove large grease deposits before brushing.

3. Cleaning the Duct with the Round Wire Brush

• Attach the Brush to a Rod or Flexible Shaft: This allows for better reach inside the duct.
• Start at the Hood & Move Upward: Insert the brush into the duct opening and scrub in a push-pull motion.
• Rotate for Deeper Cleaning:
  • Turn the brush as you push and pull to scrub all sides evenly.
  • Focus on bends and joints where grease accumulates the most.
• Reapply Degreaser if Needed: Stubborn areas may need a second round of treatment before scrubbing again.

4. Rinsing & Drying

• Use Hot Water & Cloths: Wipe down the duct walls with hot water-soaked rags to remove loosened grease.
• Vacuum Out Residue: A wet/dry vacuum can help remove remaining grease and water.
• Allow to Air Dry: Ensure all surfaces are completely dry before restarting the exhaust system.

5. Final Inspection & Touch-Ups

• Use a Flashlight & Mirror or Duct Camera: Check all areas to confirm the duct is grease-free.
• Repeat Scrubbing if Needed: Any missed spots should be cleaned before completing the job.

✅ Best For:

• Cleaning long, cylindrical duct sections.
• Scrubbing 360° around the duct walls in one motion.
• Reaching deep into the exhaust system with an extendable rod.

❌ Not Ideal For:

• Very tight corners or rectangular ducts (you may need additional hand tools).  Contact Us to discuss your options.
