How to clean a kitchen hood: detailed instructions
The cooker hood often clogs due to the release of grease from cooking. Without regular cleaning, the appliance can break and cease to perform its functions.
Vinegar, baking soda or dishwashing liquid can help you clean the hood quickly. Sante Plus tells you how to get rid of dirt and grease in your kitchen hood.
How to clean the filters in a kitchen hood
For effective cleaning, you will need:
- a sponge;
- a dry cloth;
- protective gloves;
- toothbrush;
- white vinegar;
- baking soda;
- dishwashing liquid.
First remove the filters. Then mix hot water in a container with one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and a glass of white vinegar. Soak the filters and leave overnight. In the morning, use an old toothbrush to thoroughly clean the grids.
