How to Clean a Greasy Kitchen Hood

Have you ever ever tried to clean grease off your range hood and asked yourself, “Is there a greater means to do this?”.

Nicely this week I discovered an amazing product you need to take a look at.

Particularly when you start to notice funky smells coming from above your stove – like I did this previous weekend!!!

Your range hood, if working proper, is suppose to tug all of the fumes out of your stove high. Over time the hood and filter will develop a stinky greasy residue that may entice insects.

YUCK.

Perhaps you’ve cleaned this before but it took extra effort than you’d like. I’m all about saving time, getting amazing results, and sharing with my buddies.

I really feel like a kid on Christmas day because I’m so pumped to show you my outcomes. Let’s get to it!!!

Too Busy to clean Kitchen Hoods?

Typically I would like to wash our house but really feel means too overwhelmed with life to even get started.

In consequence, I love getting awesome cleaning ideas that take little time and effort.

They’re priceless.

I spotted Super Clear (a degreaser/cleaner) whereas strolling via the automotive department of an enormous field retailer.

After studying the directions I thought it’d be a worthy experiment to strive it on our stainless steel vary hood.

This by no means is a product promotion – I simply needed to see if Super Clear would work and don’t know anybody at the corporate.

I’ve tried other cleaning options but they failed miserably.

Listed below are the supplies you want

– Baking Sheet or Sink (FREE)

– Chemical Resistant Gloves ($4)

– Super Clean ($5)

– Paper Towels ($3 or FREE in case you borrow from neighbors – just kidding)

Uh, yah, this is the shortest provide list I’ve ever had.

Here’s what you’ll learn

– How to scrub a greasy kitchen hood and filter like a champ!!!

Here’s my step-by-step degreasing process.

Cleaning greasy vary hoods and vary filters: my best outcomes EVER

Take away your vary hood filter and place it in a baking sheet or kitchen sink.

Throw on a pair of chemical resistant gloves.

Shake the Super Clear then spray it onto the filter.

The grease will immediately begin to breakdown but I left the filter sit for about 5 minutes earlier than rinsing it with water (in the video I form of use an unorthodox technique, haha).

In that 5 minutes I went again to my kitchen and sprayed the inside of the range hood.

It’s best to at all times do a pre-take a look at on any surface to see if Super Clean will react effectively with it. I did this and didn’t see any negative reactions (just like the end being ruined).

Good factor too, because my wife would have be a tad bit upset.

I didn’t let the Super Clear sit on the vary hood for any time period. You can immediately begin wiping down the surface with paper towels.

This is what impressed me the most. The grease on the vary hood was worse than the filter.

Seeing it come right off was like a miracle.

Particularly since I still have bad reminiscences of making an attempt to clean the hood with other methods and it taking ceaselessly.

Don’t let Super Clear dry on the floor. Instantly wipe it off using a moist paper towel that has water on it.

This additionally helps take away streaks.

You want to watch my video to see for yourself how loopy awesome that is. I’m nonetheless in AWE of the earlier than and after!!

Thanks Rebecca. let me know how it goes because it’s almost football season. You gotta prep that unhealthy boy fast 🙂

I make my very own cleaner. I use it for every little thing! Your hood seems to be great. 1/four amonia, 1/4 rubbing alchohol, 1/2 water in a spray bottle. Also nice for washing and disinfecting things like kids toys, counters, sinks, tubs and floors. ! Have completed this exact thing with it as your video. Need scrubbing power, use with baking soda sprinkled first or after spraying. I make mine somewhat stronger however this works.

Superior formulation Karen. Thanks for sharing your recipe for taking grease off pretty much anything. It’s wonderful how grease can get into the tiniest spots, particularly with cooking!!

that is wicked humorous that you simply just happened to come up with this posting, right after I took off my range hood and exhaust thing. Glad you occurred to do this posting! We’re working on doing the kitchen over, and yesterday I eliminated the vent hood, solely to seek out, man oh man that’s so cruddy and nasty! I’ll mos def get again to you on my results! I don’t even suppose the steel recycler would take it for all that nast. I needed to strive cleansing it up earlier than taking it to the salvage guys, and that i do have a trip to Walmart slated for later this week.

Sweet Linda. Glad this put up was timely. I’ve seen a few hoods that seem like they’d self ignite. Hope you could have some luck 😉 I do know what you imply by nasty stuff.

I have always had wonderful luck with a bottle of alcohol and a roll of paper towels.

Wait, what kind of alcohol Theresa, haha.

Simply kidding. So do you employ rubbing alcohol with the towels to get the grease off?

Jeff, you always do such nice tutorials but this was exceptional for its shortness! I hate cleansing up greasy stuff, too, so I’m going to do this little mission once i get again from Lowes. Thanks for posting!
