Which service does your hood need?
Every time the hob is lit, oil vapour and smoke rise into the hood and stick to its inner walls, filter and fans. Over time that vapour turns into a thick greasy layer that blocks the air channels and weighs down the fan, so suction weakens and cooking smoke lingers in the kitchen.
The hazard that does not show on the surface is inside the ventilation ducts that run above ceilings and behind walls. Accumulated grease in those ducts can ignite when the temperature reaches a certain point. The high summer heat makes that risk more noticeable in both commercial and home kitchens.
To find out which service suits your hood, look at the options in the list below, then call or message us on WhatsApp with the type of hood and your district, and we agree a time that works for you.
Hood cleaning services differ by the type of hood, its position and how it is used; choose the option below that matches your situation.
- Hood filter cleaningYour filter is visible and reachable, and you notice it is saturated with grease or has not been cleaned in a long time.
- Ceiling extractor cleaningYou have an extractor fitted in the ceiling rather than the wall above the hob, and you need the whole unit cleaned in place.
- Restaurant hood cleaningYour kitchen is commercial or in a restaurant, where cooking is continuous and grease accumulates far faster than in a home kitchen.
What sets Al Manakh apart
Hoods in homes across Al Manakh collect grease from continuous daily cooking, and the grease settles on internal surfaces, in ducts and on filters. Over time air pull weakens and cooking smells may linger in your home. We work to remove the grease buildup from every part inside the unit, so your hood becomes effective again. Tell us what type of hood you have and where it is, and we agree a time that suits you.
Al Manakh is a district of Riyadh city, so you order here as everywhere in the city: by call or WhatsApp, with the time agreed.
It helps to describe your kitchen size and hood when you call, so we can agree a suitable time.

Questions about Kitchen hood & extractor cleaning
How do I know my hood needs cleaning?
Clear signs are that the filter or inner edges feel sticky to the touch, or that smoke is no longer pulled away as well as it used to be. You may also notice grease dripping onto the tiles behind the hob, or a strong fatty smell that stays in the kitchen after cooking.
What is the difference between cleaning the filter and cleaning the whole hood?
The filter is the first barrier vapour passes through and the easiest part to reach, but grease gets past it to the fan, the inner walls and the ventilation ducts. Cleaning the filter alone improves airflow for a while, but cleaning the whole hood addresses every place where grease has built up. We ask you what you notice when you call, so we agree on the right scope.
Is hood grease removal different from regular cleaning?
Yes. Grease that has hardened on the hood is different from ordinary dust: it is a stuck layer bonded to the metal and needs an approach that is distinct from wiping surfaces. The work usually starts by soaking the removable parts and loosening the hardened residue before rinsing. That is why hood grease and fat removal is a separate service, not part of a general kitchen clean.
How do I prepare before the cleaning appointment?
Move cookware and food away from the hob area and the surface below the hood. If you have filters that come out easily, let us know beforehand. For commercial kitchens, tell us your closing hours so we can agree a time that does not interrupt the operation.
Does cooker hood cleaning include the ducts behind the wall?
Cooker hood cleaning normally covers the unit itself, the filter, the fan and the inner walls. The ventilation ducts that run behind the wall or above the ceiling need a separate assessment depending on duct length and access. Tell us when you call if you notice a severe drop in suction, as that can point to a blockage in the duct.
What is the common mistake that delays hood cleaning?
Many people wait until the hood stops working altogether before asking for a clean. By that point the grease has hardened deeply inside the fan and the ducts, making the job considerably more involved. Noticing the drop in suction early and acting on it is much simpler than waiting.
What should I check after the hood is cleaned?
Switch the hood to its highest setting and hold your hand below it to feel the suction. Check that the filter is seated correctly and that there is no dripping or unusual greasy smell. If you notice anything that does not seem right, let us know.
Does your cleaning leave a chemical smell behind?
We use effective materials to clean the grease buildup, and the details of what we use can be agreed when you call. We focus on removing grease effectively so your kitchen returns to clean.
Does the hood need to be taken apart during cleaning?
This depends on your hood type and how much grease has built up inside it. When you call, tell us what type of hood you have and where it is, and we determine what steps are needed and agree the details with you.
