How to Clean a Kitchen Hood?

June 21, 2020 By Miranda Jackson Leave a Comment

How to Clean a Greasy Range Hood? Do you take the time to clean the range hood from time to time properly? The extractor hood must be thoroughly washed at least once every month.

Here presents in this article some useful tips to easily clean and degrease the range hood.

Sponge and soapy water for cleaning the hood

Regardless of the material of your range hood, you should avoid sponges with rough bristles or worse brushes. This is important; otherwise, you risk damaging the surface of the hood.

Instead, choose a soft sponge with a cleaning product, such as a mixture of water and dish soap. Soapy water is adequate for regular cleaning of the hood and other household appliances in the kitchen.

Use white vinegar

Once again, vinegar can be useful for this household task. Just use and mix the same amount of vinegar and warm water in a container and start cleaning the range hood. The vinegar is effective in removing dirt and removing the sticky on the surface of the hood.

Degrease the kitchen hood

Another tip for degreasing the kitchen hood is to scrub with a mixture of water and detergent—a quick way to remove grease that sticks on the surface of the hood.

Clean the grease filter

The most challenging part when cleaning the extractor hood is to wash the grease filters. It is advisable to clean the filter approximately every two months.

You can test with the dishwasher option. Depending on the soap used and the options in your dishwasher, cleaning can work very well as not being satisfied at all.

If not, you can also simply soak the filter of your range hood for a few hours in dishwashing liquid.

Cleaning a stainless steel kitchen hood

Is the surface of your hood made of stainless steel? If so, you will need to use a cleaning product designed for stainless and stainless steel, or use homemade tips and recipes.

One of the tips may be to use a soft cloth with a few drops of oil to rub the stainless steel. Then finish with a paper towel. The range hood will shine with this homemade tip.

Boil water and lemon juice

To more easily dislodge dirt and grease from your extractor hood, simply boil water mixed with lemon juice in a cauldron. Don’t forget to keep your hood fan running during the process. In the end, it will be easier to clean the range hood.

Frequent cleaning of the hood

Of course, to avoid having to spend a lot of time cleaning and degreasing your hood every two months, why not do regular cleaning for a few minutes after every 2 or 3 uses?

It will be more comfortable and faster to clean a hood after little use than after several months of use, for example.
