Why Do I Need to Clean the Fan and Vent Hood Over My Stove?

There is nothing better than making great delicious meals for friends and family. The aroma of flavorful food in the kitchen will have everyone ready to dig in, but what happens if the fan and vent hood above your stove is dirty? How will a dirty fan and vent hood affect your food? Cleaning your fan and vent hood regularly will keep the worry of old grease and other elements from building up and falling into your food while cooking. However, there are other good reasons to regularly clean your fan and vent hood as well.

Improve Your Air Quality With A Clean Vent Hood

Your vent hood plays an important part in your kitchen while cooking. A clean vent hood will successfully remove odors, smoke, grease and other pollutants that are released into the air while you are cooking. Vent hoods are designed to improve the air quality in your home by sucking up the polluted air and circulating it outside or recirculating it. If your vent hood has been dirty for a long time with old grease and smoke, it could cause irritations with your eyes, throat, and nose. A clean vent hood also helps prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

Easier Cleanup With Vent Hood

Excess moisture and grease can create a sticky buildup without a clean vent hood. A clean vent hood not only prevents grease buildup; it also makes it easier to clean. You should not have to worry about gross grease hanging above your food.

Less Kitchen Odor

Having a nice tasty meal always smells great when it is being cooked and prepared, but without a clean vent hood and fan the smell of a meal cooked hours before may linger. These old smells along with built up grease can make every meal you prepare unappealing and leave others wondering if they should stay for dinner. Cleaning your fan and vent hood regularly will eliminate the worry of old food and grease sticking around.
