Breathe Easy, Cook Clean
Every June 16, Clean Your Kitchen Vents Day reminds us to give one of the most overlooked areas in the home some much-needed attention. While you may regularly clean countertops and appliances, kitchen vents quietly collect layers of grease, dust, and odors-impacting air quality and even posing fire risks.
Why It Matters
Over time, kitchen vents become clogged with airborne particles from cooking. This buildup not only reduces ventilation efficiency but also contributes to lingering smells, allergy irritants, and in some cases, a fire hazard. Regular cleaning ensures a safer, fresher, and more efficient kitchen environment.
How to Celebrate
Remove and Soak Filters - Most vents have removable filters that can be soaked in hot, soapy water or a degreasing solution.
Wipe Down the Hood - Use a cloth and cleaner to scrub away grime on the vent hood and surrounding areas.
Check the Exhaust Fan - If accessible, clean the fan blades and vent ducts to prevent blockages.
Schedule a Deep Clean - Hire a professional if your system hasn't been cleaned in years or if your vent connects to a full HVAC system.
Pro Tip
Set a reminder to clean your kitchen vents every 3-6 months. It's a simple habit that protects your home and improves your air quality.
On June 16, open the windows, roll up your sleeves, and give your kitchen the fresh start it deserves! Clean your vents and breathe easier every time you cook.
