In daily life, each of us uses a range hood almost every day. Over time, grease accumulates in the range hood, which can become very dirty. When heated, grease releases harmful substances that can harm health. Even more frightening is that research by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) in the United States has found that carcinogens can be released when heated, making it particularly important to clean the range hood. Before cleaning the hood, be sure to unplug it.

Clean the hood filter

In a sink or other container, pour in warm water (above 60°C), then add 1/4 cup of baking soda and a generous amount of dish soap, and stir well.

Place the greasy filter in the water, ensuring it is completely covered.

Soak for a while, prepare a soft-bristled brush, and gently scrub the surface of the filter.

Rinse again until the grease is removed. Control the water dry or wipe dry with a clean towel.

Cleaning the exterior

When rinsing the cleaner, do not rinse directly with water to avoid water entering the inside of the range hood, which could affect its use and prevent electric shock.

You can wipe the surface of the body with a damp cloth soaked in a neutral cleaner, and then thoroughly wipe off the cleaner with a cloth soaked in water.

Range hood oil cup

Before using the range hood, place a thin layer of plastic film in the clean oil cup. Each time you need to clean the oil in the cup, simply pull out the plastic film.

Stubborn grease accumulated over the years

What to do with stubborn grease accumulated over the years? We have the ultimate weapon - a hairdryer.

Use the hot air from the hairdryer to blow the grease for about 20 seconds, and the grease will gradually soften. Then use a scouring pad soaked in dish soap to wipe away the grease, and it can be easily removed.

In fact, after every meal, there is still residual heat on the range hood, so wiping it with a cloth makes it easy to remove the grease.
