Electric Kitchen Chimney plays an important role in the modern kitchens of India. The contemporary kitchen would not require a chimney. We did not depend on the sophisticated maintenance of appliances that we use in Kitchen. This is not the case of modern lifestyle. Things that seemed like luxury have become a necessity.

For instance, we never used to bother about buying an Air Conditioner or to buy chimney online in Chennai or a hob for that matter. These three requires a fair amount of money spent on maintenance.  If you spend 30 minutes of your time during a weekend, then you could get your chimney sparkly clean with these simple steps

 

How often do we need maintenance?

Kitchen chimney needs maintenance at least once in every two weeks. We do not need to depend on professionals for cleaning the chimney grills completely. If you do not clean the chimney once in every two weeks, then you have to depend on professional cleaners. In such a case, it is important to get the cleaning done at least once in every two months. We have to spend a considerable amount of time to get it cleaned.  In Chennai, it costs around Rs. 350 for cleaning the chimney alone.

 

Cleaning a Kitchen Chimney

Time Required – 30 min

Materials

Old newspapers 3 to 4 sheets

Cotton cloth 2 nos.

Washing soda 4 tbsp

Dish-cleaning liquid 3-4 drops

Soft Scrubber

A pair of cleaning gloves

 

1.       Remove the grills from the chimney

2.       Spread a newspaper and place the chimney grills on it

3.       Boil 5 to 6 liters of water. The water has to boil very well.

4.       While the water is getting boiled, get the kitchen sink ready.

5.       Place the stopper in the kitchen sink. The hot water which you are going to pour should not get drained out of the outlet.

6.       Now place one of the grills on the sink, if you have a big sink, then you could place both the grills. If not, you may have to clean one by one.

7.       Pour the boiling water on the grill and add washing soda. Leave it for 3-4 minutes. This would loosen the oil deposits on the grill

8.       Wear a pair of cleaning gloves. When the water is still warm, use a scrubber and cleaning liquid and work through the grill. Clean both the sides.

9.       As soon as it is scrubbed, place it on the newspaper and wipe it with a cotton cloth. Repeat the same procedure for the other grill as well.

10.   Now use the dish cleaning liquid and soft scrubber to scrub the oil deposits on the chimney. Wipe it with damp cloth

11.   Fix the grills back to the chimney as turn it on for a few minutes. This would dry any excess water.
