Your oven hood filter is a greasy mess. Effortlessly get it clean like new again

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

Remove the Filter: Carefully take the filter out of the hood. Most filters will either slide or pop out easily. Consult your hood’s manual if you’re unsure.

Dry Dusting: Gently tap the filter over a trash can to dislodge any loose particles. A soft brush can be used for this step to remove the surface dust.

Prepare Your Cleaning Solution: Fill your basin or sink with very hot water, enough to fully submerge the filter. Add a generous squirt of dish soap and ¼ to ½ cup of baking soda. The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive agent that helps break down grease without damaging the filter.

Soak: Place your filter into the solution, ensuring it’s completely submerged. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, though particularly grimy filters may benefit from longer soaking times, even up to a few hours.

Scrub: After soaking, use a soft brush or non-abrasive scrubber to gently clean the filter. Pay special attention to the corners and edges where grease accumulates the most.

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the filter under hot running water to remove any residual grease and cleaning solution. Ensure the water runs clear, indicating a thorough clean.

Dry: Shake off any excess water and let the filter dry completely. You can either leave it to air dry or use a clean towel to pat it dry.

Reinstall: Once dry, carefully place the filter back into the hood. Ensure it’s properly secured.
