Chute Cleaning Services
Routine chute cleaning is an essential part of building maintenance, particularly for refuse chutes. Over time, fats, oils, grease, and proteins build up inside the chute. These deposits may not be visible but are often revealed by unpleasant odours. Left untreated, this build-up not only creates hygiene problems but also increases the risk of fire as these combustible deposits (combustion loading) can increase unseen witihn the chute.
The Myth of “Self-Cleaning” Systems
While some chute systems incorporate automated or “self-cleaning” functions, practical use consistently shows that they are ineffective in real-world use. Specialist cleaning methods are required to manage long-term residue build-up and maintain high standards of hygiene effectively.
