Which cleaner is the best for stove hood filters

How to clean range hood filters... How about using the products you probably have at home in the cupboard to easily clean the range hood filters, but which to use?
Cleaning the grease from the stove hood filters is a job we all tend to forget about, and after months or years of fats, grease, steam and smoke build up we are going to need something pretty special to remove that grimey stuff.
I try 3 different cleaning methods and show you the results. You can judge for yourself and chose the one you prefer. I hope this video helps you out with this cleaning chore.
If you want to run your fridge on less power, and keep it cooler during summer - check out this quick hack that saves $$ • An easy maintenance cl...
For this I used;
1. Dishwasher powder or crumbled up dishwasher tablet
2. Baking Soda and Dish detergent
3.Spray oven cleaner
these all took 20-30 mins to work, during this time I made a baking soda and water paste and cleaned the stainless steel extractor fan housing.

I was hunting around the house for something to clean my filter with. Thought about dishwasher, then saw your vid. I smashed up a dishwasher tablet in the packet, then ripped it open and put it into the water. Then placed the filter in the water and it instantly started working. Then pored a jug of boiling water in there tub and presto, it went crazy.. My filter hadn’t been cleaned for more than 20 yrs, so it was pretty bad. Thankyou so much for your help :)

Oven cleaner method was a success! I allowed the oven cleaner to sit on mine for 2 full hours. I rinsed with water, but some grease was a little stubborn so I had to use a scrub brush and dish soap as well. They looked great! But to be extra clean I popped them into the dish washer with Cascade detergent, and turned it onto the sanitize cycle. They look practically brand new! I think now I should be able to do weekly cleaning/maintenance with the dishwasher. I feel like as long as you do a weekly clean, then there won't be a need for oven cleaner again.

To clean off a sticky residue left on my filters from a previous botched clean, I soaked them in your 1 cup of Bi-Carb in boiling water mix (omitting the dishwashing detergent) for a few hours and with minimum light scrubbing and hot water rinse, they came out sparkling clean and all sticky residue gone 😊. Thankyou 🎉. That Easy Off Oven Cleaner has gone up in price from $3.50 to $5.75 now with Inflation- a horrible product to use inside a confined space like the Oven- can burn your skin, and damage lungs- not worth the risk.

My filter is made from aluminium, it’s discoloured from using a dissolved dishwashing tablet. Since mine is inserted into a cover no one really sees it, but something for others to keep in mind if they want them to stay looking shiny and new to avoid oxidising agents. Hot water and dish liquid on a more frequent basis might be better

Thank you so much for this video. My grease filters were in a horrible condition and I used quite an amount of dish detergent and vinegar to soak them overnight. Unfortunately the grease turned into glue and the situation seemed hopeless. I really thought I had to buy new filters. Then I found this video and I tried the Amway automatic dish tabs and they had worked wonders for me. I had to use one tab for each filter and they came out sparklingly clean after soaking for 30 minutes and a little brushing. No discolouration. Thank you again!

I used lots hot water straight from the Rinnai hot water unit into the laundry (used lots so it would maintain a hot temperature) and sprinkled in some magic Finish "dust." Let sit for 5 minutes then gently scrubbed with a long handled nylon brush so I would get my fingies burned. There was about 10 years of gunk built up on this so they were chocka full of oily residue but 5 minutes was plenty. I did do a second full wash but that was totally unnecessary. The down side was my OCD then compelled me to clean the oven hood due to it being a oh so obvious yellow colour compared to the filters. For the last 6+ years I have been trying to get charcol filters for this rubbish hood but even the manufacturer can't get them made to fit the hood so I guess they (and the Good Guys) aren't getting my money for the new filters I was going to replace the old dirty/now clean shiney ones with. *Thank You* for this. Never occurred to this grumpy old bastard that they could be cleaned so easily. Much appreciated. 👍👍👍 (one for each filter)

OxiClean. Instantaneous release of 100% of the grease. Get a large enough shallow tray or sink and mix OxiClean with very hot water, drop in the filter and bang, it's grease-free.

glad you talked about the toxic product of oven cleaner as unnecessary; I also use vinegar with the baking soda, dishwasher liquid and boiling water - no toxic anything required, and no can for the landfill.

I use the soda and dish detergent with hot water but I also add a cup of white vinegar and there is no need of brush.

Hey Sofia, there is a theory that vinegar and baking soda neutralise each other and we just end up with a salty base - still seems to work though huh 🤔 thanks for the tip, cheers, Kent

Hi, I have question, do I need to put inside (and turn on) the oven after we applied the oven cleaner? or just let it sit in the open air?

Hey Erwin, great Q. in case of ‘Meltable’ materials like the plastic edging on some filters I would leave at room temp to be safe👍 cheers, Kent

Egad. My filters are caked with grease. I need to check under my sink for oven cleaner. I can spray them outside in my backyard. If there is no oven cleaner, I know I have dishwasher detergent. Thank you.

If you use oven cleaner spray, check the ingredients for sodium hydroxide, the chemical name for lye. If your filter is made of aluminum, the lye will dissolve it.

Thanks Doug for the great ‘heads up’! I believe it takes both high concentrations and time to do so, but better to play safe hey👍 Kent

My filter got clean with a soak in baking soda/dishwashing liquid. Problem is though that there's what looks like aluminum shreds caught in between the two layers of mesh in the filter. It's clean shreds now, but the shreds are still there, and they fall out of the filter on to the stovetop. Any suggestions as to how to get them out of there? I can't find a place where the mesh can be taken apart. My filter isn't flat, it's sort of bowed? Like a third of a circle?? IDK how else to describe it. Designed that way, it's not due to age or anything like that.

I'm going to try the dishwasher tablet method. But I would be concerned about hitting my stainless hood with a brush and baking soda that it would show scratch marks. I use hot soapy water and a micro fiber, and then follow up with stainless cleaner and micro fiber.

@InspireDIY 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Superfly, thanks for your reply, the brush and baking soda combo left no marks on my range hood, but did require a soapy water wipe down before it was shiny again✨ I can appreciate what you are saying, and your technique is sound advice. Thanks so much👍 Kent

When you use easy off, place the parts inside plastic bag ( trash bag) spray the product inside de bag and close the bag and let it set up overnight, the product doesn't dry and works very good, also you get less of the fumes, always use a face mask and gloves, easy off is very strong.
