The kitchen range hood is essential for eliminating cooking fumes and grease—but it often ends up coated in grime itself.
To keep it efficient and hygienic, regular cleaning is a must.
Here are three simple and natural methods to degrease your range hood effortlessly, plus a quick trick for deep cleaning the filters.
White vinegar is a powerful and natural solution for dissolving grease.
How to use:
Heat a small amount of white vinegar (don’t boil it).
Soak a clean cloth with the warm vinegar.
Wipe the surface of the hood, let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with a damp cloth.
This method is eco-friendly, affordable, and great for removing stubborn grease without chemicals.
Baking soda works wonders on metal filters clogged with greasy buildup.
How to use:
Fill a large container or sink with hot water.
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda.
Soak the filters for 30 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and let them dry.
This combo helps dissolve tough grease while neutralizing odors.
Dish soap, especially degreasing formulas, works well for daily maintenance.
How to use:
Apply dish soap directly to a sponge or cloth.
Scrub greasy areas on the hood.
Let it sit for 5 minutes, then wipe clean and rinse.
It’s a simple and safe method to keep your hood clean regularly.
In a rush? Pop the filters into the dishwasher (if your model allows it) and run a hot cycle. It’s an easy way to deep-clean them without scrubbing!
