Cleaning Range Hood filters by the Best and Most thorough Residential House Cleaning and maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid. Your range hood can be pretty greasy and grimy. The filter pulls smoke, steam and odors through it and collects grime and food particles, preventing them from accumulating in the vent itself. The filter allows the vent to effectively pull the air through it. This appliance protects the surrounding walls from yellowing due to grease and smoke and the negative effective moisture from steam, says the Most Thorough Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
A blocked filter can be catastrophic. Without a clean filter and effective range hood, your smoke alarm could go off frequently, due to a buildup of smoke while you cook, or else food smells may permeate your home and not clear out for days, due to the tiny particles present in the air. Those food and grease particles can also attract pests, like fruit flies and cockroaches, says the 45 Year old Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
The more you cook, the more often your filter will need cleaning. However, harsh chemicals are not required to clean it, no matter how dirty it is, says the Premier Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
For weekly or monthly cleanings, the filter can be placed in the dishwasher on its hottest setting. When you clean your filter often, it ensures that the buildup never happens in the first place. However, if the filter has not been washed for a few months, a hand method of cleaning is necessary.
Here are the following household ingredients needed:
Boiling water, baking soda, degreasing dish soap, a non abrasive scrub brush, and a heat proof container.
- Remove the filter carefully by popping it out from the underside of the range hood. Look for a latch or a loop that will help you remove it.
- You will need a heat proof container in order to clean your range hood filter. It could be a pot, a casserole dish, or the sink. Fill it with boiling water.
- Add soap and baking soda. Put a tablespoon of dish soap and ½ cup of baking soda over the top of the water.
- Submerge the range hood filter and let it soak at least 10 minutes. Soaking will breakdown the grease, and make it easier to clean.
- Scrub with a non-abrasive scrub brush. Be sure to get into all the cerevices.
- Rinse and dry.
- Replace the filter.
