Introduction
Over time, your cooker hood filter can become coated with layers of stubborn grease, reducing its efficiency and creating a messy kitchen environment. Instead of replacing it or scrubbing for hours, follow this simple yet effective method to restore it to its original shine with minimal effort.
Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup white vinegar
Dish soap (preferably degreasing)
Hot water
A large pot or basin
A soft brush or sponge
A microfiber cloth
Instructions
Remove the Filter
Turn off your stove and ensure the hood is cool.
Gently detach the filter according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Prepare the Cleaning Solution
Fill a large pot or basin with hot water.
Add dish soap and gradually mix in the baking soda.
Pour in the vinegar slowly—it will fizz and help break down grease.
Soak the Filter
Submerge the greasy filter in the solution and let it soak for at least 15-30 minutes.
For heavy grease buildup, extend the soaking time to an hour.
Scrub Away Residue
Using a soft brush or sponge, gently scrub the filter to remove any remaining grease.
Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
Dry and Reinstall
Pat the filter dry with a microfiber cloth and let it air-dry completely.
Once dry, reinstall the filter securely in the cooker hood.
Tips to Serve and Keep
Clean your filter every 2-3 months to maintain optimal performance.
For an extra shine, wipe the filter with a vinegar-soaked cloth before drying.
Avoid using harsh abrasives, as they can damage the filter material.
If the grease buildup is extreme, repeat the process or use a degreaser.
