How to effectively clean the kitchen hood: four tips from experienced housewives

Regular maintenance and cleaning of the kitchen hood play an important role in ensuring a clean cooking environment. SSPDaily has collected expert advice on how to effectively clean and care for this household appliance to ensure its optimal performance.

Filters

To ensure the cleanliness of the kitchen hood, it is necessary to regularly maintain the grease filters. Fill a sink or bucket with warm, soapy water and soak the filters for about 15 minutes. Use a soft brush or sponge to remove any accumulated grease or debris. Rinse the filters thoroughly with lukewarm water and allow them to air dry before replacing them on the range hood.

The outer surface

To keep the exterior of the range hood clean, first unplug it from the mains and remove any visible debris with a soft brush or cloth. Prepare a solution of warm soapy water in a bucket or sink, and moisten a sponge or cloth with it. Gently wipe the surfaces of the hood, paying particular attention to areas with heavy grease accumulation.

Internal components

In addition to cleaning the filters and external surfaces, it is important to clean the internal components of your range hood regularly. Use a degreasing spray or a mixture of warm water and laundry soap to clean the interior surfaces. Wipe off grease and dirt with a microfiber cloth or sponge. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry the interior of the range hood completely.

Stubborn stains

To effectively tackle stubborn grease stains on your range hood, make a paste by mixing baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stains and leave it on for a few minutes. Gently scrub the stains with a soft brush or sponge, adding more paste as needed. Rinse the surfaces with warm water and dry thoroughly.
