Clean Air Services: Laundry System & Duct Cleaning for Hotels & Commercial Premises
In hospitality and commercial settings, laundry extract systems work harder than most realise—removing heat, moisture, lint, and airborne particles daily. But over time, this constant use causes ducts, vents, and dryers to become blocked with debris, dust, and combustible fibres. Without regular cleaning, this leads to reduced airflow, increased fire risk, and non-compliance with health and safety regulations.
At SVM Cleaning, we provide specialist clean air services with a focus on laundry duct cleaning for hotels, care homes, commercial laundries, and serviced buildings. Our experienced team helps you maintain safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant ventilation systems that protect guests, staff, and property.
Why Laundry Duct Cleaning is Crucial
✔️ Reduces Fire Risk – Lint and dust build-up in laundry ducts is highly flammable, making extract systems a common source of fires. ✔️ Improves Airflow & Efficiency – A clean system improves drying times, reduces energy use, and lowers running costs. ✔️ Protects Equipment – Regular cleaning extends the life of tumble dryers, fans, and extract ducting. ✔️ Complies with Health & Safety Regulations – Laundry duct cleaning supports compliance with the Fire Safety Order 2005, HTM01-04 for healthcare, and manufacturer servicing standards. ✔️ Prevents Mould & Odours – Blocked or dirty vents can lead to damp, stale air, affecting laundry quality and overall hygiene.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should laundry ducts be cleaned? It depends on usage. As a general guide:
High-use hotels, care homes, or laundries – every 3–6 months
Moderate use environments – every 6–12 months
We’ll assess your system and recommend a service schedule based on risk.
Is laundry duct cleaning a legal requirement? Yes. Under UK fire safety law, you are responsible for maintaining safe ventilation systems. Regular cleaning is often required by insurers and EHOs.
Will this affect laundry operations? We aim to minimise disruption by working early morning, evenings, or during off-peak hours.
Do you clean the inside of the dryer machines too? Yes—we clean exhaust vents and fan units, though internal drum cleaning is typically handled by your service engineers.
What happens if access is restricted? We can install compliant access panels to enable safe and complete cleaning, in line with TR19® guidelines.
