Exhaust Fan Cleaning Service in Dhaka

Exhaust fans are easy to forget until they start rattling, slowing down or dripping greasy dust. In Dhaka, where cooking is often oil-heavy and humid air lingers in bathrooms for much of the year, kitchen and bathroom fans collect a sticky mix of grease, dust and lint that cuts airflow and encourages damp and mould. Our exhaust fan cleaning service takes the fan down where it is safe to do so, cleans the blades, grille, shutters and frame, and refits it so it runs properly again. We clean domestic fans in flats and houses, and larger exhaust fans in restaurants, offices and factories.

Signs your exhaust fan needs cleaning

A fan that needs attention usually lets you know. It gets noisier, it seems to move less air, the louvre shutters stick, and a dark, sticky film spreads around the frame and onto the wall. In bathrooms, poor extraction leaves mirrors misted and walls damp for longer, which is exactly what mould needs during the monsoon. In kitchens, grease on the blades catches dust and quickly turns into a thick crust. Restaurant and factory fans work under heavier loads, so the build-up is faster and the drop in performance more noticeable.

What is included

Where the fan can be safely taken out of its mounting, we remove it and clean the blades individually rather than wiping them in place. The grille and louvre shutters are soaked and scrubbed, the frame and wall opening are degreased, and the outer casing is wiped down. Fans that cannot be removed, such as some fixed industrial units, are cleaned in place with the power isolated. The surrounding wall or tiles, which usually carry grease or dust streaks, are cleaned as part of the job.

Types of fan we clean

• Kitchen wall exhaust fans in flats and houses
• Bathroom and toilet ventilation fans
• Restaurant and commercial kitchen exhaust fans
• Office pantry and washroom fans
• Larger wall-mounted ventilation fans in factories and warehouses, where access is safe

Safety comes first

Power to the fan is always switched off before any work begins. Many kitchen exhaust fans in Dhaka homes are mounted high on the wall above the cooker or set into a window behind a grill, so the team works from stable ladders with a second person supporting. We do not repair motors or rewire fans. If a fan is damaged, the bearings sound worn or the wiring looks unsafe, we will tell you so that you can call an electrician. For factory fans at height, we assess access before quoting and agree safe working arrangements with the site.

Preparation and aftercare

Clear the counter or floor below the fan, remove anything kept on nearby window ledges, and show us where the fan's switch or circuit breaker is. In kitchens, it helps to finish cooking and let the room cool first.

Afterwards, run the fan during and after cooking or showering, and wipe the grille every few weeks so grease cannot harden. Kitchen fans in busy homes usually benefit from professional cleaning a few times a year, while restaurant fans need a more regular schedule.

Related services

Exhaust fans rarely get greasy on their own. If there is a hood or chimney above your cooker, kitchen hood cleaning on the same visit makes sense, and restaurants with extraction ducting can add duct cleaning.
