Title: Duct cleaning
Post by: Liz Baker on November 11, 2013, 06:15:41 pm

Can anyone point me in the direction of a supply for cleaning equipment for duct/extractor fans, only found one supplier and it was way to expensive, would also consider second hand kit, thanks  ;)

Which equiptment , do you mean actual cleaning tools, I know there is a company called Liffa that supplies a system, but sounds like a very complicated method, and very very expensive.and I have my doubts about its ability Otherwise it's just scrapers degreaser scrubbys, etc available from most hardware suplies

I am still to be convinced how these brushes actually work on  wet grease or very hard grease of any significant depth, I would be really interested in hearing from anyone who has  used this type of system on grease to any effect

You have to spray the ducting with chemical first to soften the grease and then use the brushes.
You will still need to use different sizes of scrapers with extending poles also.
The chemical & Brush loosens everything up, doesn't remove it.
