I buy "Awesome" from the Dollar Tree and pour it in a dish pan and let it soak. No scrubbing needed

[@havingfunyet]

There's an easier way though... Bring a giant pot of water to a boil. Add baking soda SLOWLY until it fizzes up really good. (Be careful it doesn't bubble over and out of the pot) Dip the filters in for about 60 seconds, remove tongs, et voila! Sparkly vent filters with absolutely zero scrubbing OR waiting around. 😊

I pop mine in the dishwasher once a month, always keeps it from getting as bad as in this video. A dirty and fatty filter is a fire hazard

[@javelar1342]

I’m housekeeper and easiest way to clean it: boil water in place the filter in a bowl that fits completely and sprinkle baking soda, pour in the boiling water and it will look like new! 🎉

[@fidgetssailing4725]

We recently bought our house and I pulled the hood filters - four days of degreasing and soaking and scrubbing - it looked good but still felt sticky. Apparently, this house which was built in the 90s never had inhabitants who thought to clean the range hood filters. Sigh - Houses should come with a checklist of stuff that should be cleaned, a type of cleaning maintenance list.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

That type of neglect can still be cleaned spotless just buy a bottle of inexpensive automatic dishwasher detergent gel (Not the pods, tablets or powders, the gel) set the filters in a rimmed cookie sheet to catch the drips. squirt the gel on the filters full strength painting a generous coat of gel on both sides to completely cover the entire mesh. Leave over night. By morning the enzymes in the dishwasher formula will have dissolved all of the polymerizes oils stuck on the screen. Dish brush and a sink full of hot water should wash the detergent and gunk off without scrubbing. One jug of house brand dishwasher gel will last years.

[@fidgetssailing4725]

@@seriouslyreally5413 Thanks - yeah I've been using Dawn to clean them - just over 20 years of never being cleaned. Ugh.

[@tomcranks]

In addition, don't use oven cleaner on the mesh if it's aluminum. The lye (sodium hydroxide) has a chemical reaction with aluminum.

[@hashimmohamed6415]

[@set3777]

NO aluminium in dishwasher !

[@Boobtube.]

@@set3777 why not?

[@set3777]

@@Boobtube. The mild acid in the dishwasher will eat up the protective aluminium oxide and then corrode the aluminum turning it black. I destroyed an AL pot before when I was using Finish Dishwashing powder detergent then. And think my range hood filters are made of non-anodised Aluminium and not Stainless Steel. (There may be some dishwashing detergent that may be safe for Al but I never buy any)

[@terrirojas]

Well, that’s the easy part. How do you clean that black fan and all up in there???

[@rahbid121]

Completely cover it with a good oven cleaner, wrap it with a cling film, leave it for 45 mins to an hour. Then watch how the grease comes off. Obviously, try a little bit first and see if It'll be ok to be used on your fan first

[@michelleahrens3359]

Steam ,,if you wash it your filter with soap then put it in your dish washer do this once week Yowil be so happy....good life😊

[@Xiroi87]

I agree steam is the best option, oven cleaners are literally poison.

[@ShilohSapir]

​@oink714 Spraying oven cleaner up and into the fan can be extremely dangerous for the eyes and respiration. Don't do it! Spray the fan and inside the hood with the Dawn Power Wash Dish spray, taking care not to inhale it or get into your eyes, and let it soak with a towel spread on your cold Stovetop to catch the grease that will drip off. Use a soapy Scrub Daddy to scrub the hood and fan blades. Then spray it all with vinegar to rinse. Your kitchen will smell wonderfully clean!

[@freespiritable]

My husband places a plastic sheet under it, fixing it on the hood's sides so it doesn't make a mess. Then spray it with degreaser, leve it for half an hour and wipe with a cloth, rincing it from time to time until it's clean.

[@johnkelly9451]

Brandon, You've helped us alot with your videos. We tried the internet hack of boiling water, setting it on a cool burner, submerse the oven filter grate in the water, sprinkle about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of baking soda and voila. The only thing to be cautious of if there's a plastic or nylon pull tab. But luckily ours was fine with no problem. Appreciate you and your channel. Best wishes to you always and thank you!

[@johnkelly9451]

p.s. If grate is really greasy, may need to reheat water again and repeat. Ours was fairly bad and came out spotless.

[@AccessoriesAddict5528]

Sprayed with oven cleaner, put inside bag to sit overnight........voilà worked like magic! Just had to spray off gunk with hot water and then rinsed really well. Came out perfect!! 👌🏾

Easy-Off is the go-to chemical for heavy grease projects like this. Place in sink, spray completely, and let it soak for at least ten minutes. Spray off, quick wash with soap and water, done. Non-aluminum pans and dishes can be cleaned this way too. Glass baking dish all brown? Easy-off makes it new again. Dawn is great but not for the baked-on old grease.

What was the spray?

[@mohammadkoshby5789]

The most powerful remover of paint, oils, fats and rust, and they do not talk about it because it is cheap, is caustic soda for $5. Caustic soda removes car paint. For fifty years, we have been using it to remove the paint of heating radiators on which dozens of layers of paint have formed, and to remove grease and oils from equipment and machinery. There is nothing stronger than caustic soda and all paint removal and cleaning materials contain caustic soda. Just place the pieces that are soiled with fats and oils, or from which you want to remove paint, in a basin and sprinkle caustic soda on them, then warm or hot water if the layers are thick with fats, oils, and paint. A new one will come back in a minute

[@Lizzzz90]
