Platinum Kitchen Cleaning Solutions, grease, and strong smells out of the air to help your kitchen be healthier and more pleasant to work in. But, like any high-powered appliance, the hood requires regular maintenance to do its job well. Neglect it, and grease buildup can clog the filters, slow down the fan, and leave lingering odors. Our expert explains how to clean your range hood effectively and regularly to prevent a greasy mess.

Before removing and cleaning the filters, disconnect the power to your vent hood to avoid shock. Fill a tub with hot water and add in a teaspoon of anti-grease dish soap/degreaser and a 1/4 cup of baking soda. Soak the filters for a half hour to loosen grease and grime, then scrub with a non-abrasive brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reinstalling.

Grease Removal Tips for Hoods: Prevent Fire Hazards and Odors

While the filters are soaking, use the opportunity to clean the rest of your hood. Be sure to shut off the hood’s power and remove any visible debris. Wipe down the interior and exterior surfaces of the hood with a degreasing cleaner (the Epi Test Kitchen swears by Mrs. Myers’ All-Purpose Cleaner), making sure to use a non-abrasive sponge and avoid rubbing too hard, as this could damage the finish or rust the metal. Dry the surface with a non-scratch cloth, and consider polishing the stainless-steel with a product formulated for this material to restore its brilliance. Repeat this process monthly to avoid serious and potentially dangerous grease buildup.
