When was the last time you peeked underneath your stove'southward hood and checked out the exhaust fan filters? If it's been awhile or y'all've, um, never done this, permit me warn you: it'south not going to be pretty. The purpose of a range hood filter is to collect grease, so if it'due south doing its job correctly, it's going to look and feel, well, greasy.

Over fourth dimension, the the filter may become then blocked with grease and ickiness that it loses its effectiveness, which is why it'south important to clean these filters periodically.

Thankfully, cleaning them isn't hard at all!

This tutorial shows how to clean the filter in your sink with just boiling h2o, baking soda, and a good de-greasing dish soap. (I prefer Dawn.) Some hood filters can actually be washed in the dishwasher, only depending on how long it's been since you've cleaned yours, I wouldn't recommend that without at least cleaning them this fashion first. (You don't want likewise much grease to stop up in your dishwasher!)

So, allow'south de-grease those filters at present, shall we?

How To Clean a Greasy Range Hood Filter

What Y'all Need

  • Very hot or boiling water
  • Degreasing dish soap (Dawn works very well)
  • Baking soda
  • Non-abrasive scrub brush
  • Paper towels or dish cloth

Instructions

  1. Remove the filters from the hood: Nigh filters should easily slide or pop out of the underside of the hood. Mine had a metal loop I could grab to push button the filter up and slide it out.
  2. Fill a sink or bucket with boiling h2o: The hotter the h2o, the more constructive. Depending on how hot you can get the water from your tap, that might exist good enough. For me, I boiled water in my electric tea kettle, and poured that into the sink.
  3. Pour in baking soda and dish soap: Pour a good squirt of de-greasing dish soap and 1/four cup baking soda into the hot water. Swish effectually with a brush (non your hand because it's too hot!) until the water is nice and soapy.
  4. Put greasy filters in water: Submerge your greasy exhaust fan filters into the water. Make certain they're completely covered.
  5. Allow them soak: Allow the filters to soak for x minutes.
  6. Scrub the filters: Afterwards soaking, take a not-abrasive scrub brush and scrub the filters. Add more than dish soap to your brush if required while you scrub.
  7. Rinse and dry: Rinse the filters thoroughly in hot h2o and dry with a newspaper towel or clean cloth.
  8. Replace the filters and repeat as needed: Put the filters dorsum into the hood, and repeat as needed! Cleaning the filters once a calendar month is a good maintenance strategy.
