How Often Should You Clean Your Air-Con and Range Hood?
Regularly cleaning home appliances isn't just about hygiene — it directly affects performance and lifespan. Here's the general recommended cleaning frequency for a few common appliances.
Air-con: recommended 1-2 times a year
A build-up of dust in the air-con's filter and unit affects cooling performance and increases power consumption, and can also breed bacteria that cause odours. We recommend cleaning at least 1-2 times a year, more often if used heavily in summer.
Range hood: recommended every 3-6 months
The range hood's oil filter and internals accumulate grease easily — this doesn't just affect suction, but built-up grease also carries a certain fire risk. Households that cook frequently should clean every 3 months.
Washing machine: recommended every 3-6 months
The drum of a washing machine easily accumulates detergent residue and mould — even if it looks clean on the outside, the drum can still be a source of odour. Regular deep cleaning reduces the chance of clothes picking up bad smells.
Bathroom heater/fan: depends on how often it's used
A bathroom heater is used in a constantly humid environment and easily gathers dust and mould — we recommend checking and cleaning it regularly alongside your bathroom deep clean.
Why hire a professional instead of doing it yourself?
Cleaning these appliances properly often requires taking them apart to reach the internal components — doing it yourself can leave it not fully clean, or even damage the appliance if disassembled incorrectly. Professional cleaning uses the right tools and methods.
