How to clean greasy range hood filters

3 different methods worth trying - by Laura Barry

How to clean greasy range hood filters

Rangehood filters are one of those areas of the kitchen that are often left to accumulate grease and grime for months on end, purely because they are out of sight and out of mind. However, upon closer inspection, we can promise that you will be itching to get those filters clean.

Unfortunately, rangehood filters are often filled with such amounts of grease that it can be difficult to get rid of it all. Thanks to the internet, we’ve now discovered some super easy, no mess no fuss methods of cleaning rangehood filters with minimal effort.

1. Boiling water and baking soda

Using a large stainless steel pot (ensure it is not non-stick) bring a large amount of water to the boil. Once bubbling, slowly add baking soda a teaspoon at a time until the water starts to fizz. Once fizzing, using a pair of steel tongs to hold the filter, dip one end of the vent into the water (or the whole filter, depending on how big it is) for 60 seconds. Repeat on the other end. The grease should now have melted off the filter and collected in the water. Et voila! Clean filters!

2. Use a steam cleaner

For those who have a steam cleaner at home, this is a relatively quick and painless way of removing grease from your range hood filter. Lay the filter over some paper towel, and use a small nozzle of a steam cleaner to push the grease through the filter to collect on the paper towel below.

3. Bake it

Fill the bottom of a oven tray with newspaper cut to fit the inside of the tray. Lay the filter inside the tray, Pop it in the oven at 100 degrees Celsius for around half an hour. The grease should start to melt off the filter and fall onto the paper beneath. Once done, give it a quick wash with warm water and dish soap. All clean!
