Clean Range's Hood Filter

The purpose of a range hood filter is to collect grease, so if it’s doing its job correctly, it’s going to look and feel, well, greasy.

It takes a soft cloth and mild detergent without chlorine to avoid to damage the finish, or you can try another method. Bring 4 quarts of water to boil and let it cool for a minute or two. Stir in 2 cups of white vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish detergent. Add your stove hood filter and set a timer for 30 minutes. Once time’s up, use tongs to remove the filter and scrub it on both sides with an old toothbrush. Rinse it with clear water and let it thoroughly air dry before putting it back in place.
