How to Remove Grease from Your Range Hood
Wondering how to get grease off your range hood? The filter’s tight mesh makes it one of the toughest things to clean. I’ve got an incredibly easy method today — literally just soak it and you’re done.
1. What You’ll Need
This is my kitchen range hood filter. As you can see, grease has collected in beads — it’s really caked on. If you leave it like this, grease can end up in your food while you’re cooking.
First, boil enough hot water to fully submerge the filter.
While the water heats, put 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda and 2–3 pumps of dish soap into the container where the filter will soak. I closed the sink drain and used the basin.
Pour in the boiled water. At this point, most of the cleaning work is already happening.
2. Cleaning
Turn off the range hood and remove the filters. You’ll notice how greasy and grimy they look up close.
Put on rubber gloves and place the filters into the soapy, hot water. The water will be very hot, so gloves or a tool are recommended to avoid burns.
Gently shake the soaked filters. The heat loosens the grease, and the baking soda plus dish soap help lift grime from the mesh that’s hard to scrub.
After just a little shaking, you’ll see the water turn cloudy and grimy.
Next, use a brush to scrub the filter with the soapy water to remove any stubborn residue.
Finish by rinsing thoroughly with warm water. Give the rinsed filters a good shake to remove excess water.
3. Reassembly
Before you put everything back, wipe around the range hood area. Dampen a paper towel with the baking soda solution and wipe — it cleans surfaces really well.
After wiping, you’ll notice the paper towel gets pretty dirty — proof it works.
Let the filters dry completely, then reinstall them. You’ll be left with a much cleaner, fresher-smelling range hood.
