Dear hostesses, today you will learn how important it is to regularly clean the grill of the kitchen hood. Talk about the most affordable and effective ways to remove body fat. How to clean old grease on the filter grill
Filter element device
The stove is a problematic place in the kitchen. The hood above it is a place that accepts the "hit" of saturated vapors, with a high concentration of fat. The grease trap protects the room, collecting fumes and vapors, and therefore gets dirty quickly and heavily.
The design for catching fat is simple enough. Aluminum or steel mesh has many rows, creating a certain direction for the air. Each mesh cell consists of guiding bends that exclude direct movement. Dirty air, passing through the labyrinths of the filter panel, leaves all the fat on it. As a result, the walls and ceiling remain clean, and the cooker hood, alas …
Why is it important to wash your mesh regularly?
If you do not pay attention to the hood, your kitchen and adjoining premises are doomed. It is difficult to clean the mesh without knowledge and experience. Special problems arise if she has not washed for several months and the grease has old fat deposits.
Why is the filter so sticky? Grease drops first of all adhere to the surface of the grill. In the future, all the particles accumulate exactly here, forming a film. If you do not wash the filter regularly, the film becomes thicker, turning into a crust that clogs all the holes in the mesh. So, the dirtier the grate, the more difficult it is to clean the volume. The resulting dirt makes the device useless - the air is not cleaned and all the fat is deposited on the walls, furniture, and the ceiling.
Hood cleaning instructions
All actions are aimed at dissolving fat and flushing sewage. Hard brushes and abrasives are known to be ineffective. Moreover, the grate can be deformed and finally clog. Cleaning instructions will help speed up your work and keep your filter in top condition.
Disconnect the hood first. The grease trap usually has two removable panels at the bottom. They detach easily. There is a fastening button on the front side. On the back bar there are latches hidden from view. Press the handle-key, or push the latch back, holding it with your hand, remove the grate. Some constructions have a mesh frame; you need to remove the filter from it. It will be easier to work this way.
Now I wash the inner compartment with a sponge moistened with dishwashing liquid. We remove the greasy deposits, wipe the motor with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding water getting inside. The holes in the motor can be cleaned with a toothbrush. Now wash the grille and insert the panel into place.
How to clean the cooker hood grease catcher
A steam cleaner or a dishwasher will remove all dirt without any problems. If you do not have such units, then dishwashing liquid will do an excellent job with fresh deposits. This trick "works" with regular weekly cleaning. Usually we do not do this and the plaque acquires old deposits. How to cleanse old fat?
• Take a wide basin, soak for two hours. The water should be hot, the proportion of Ferry, Aos or any dish detergent 1: 4 + citric acid (0.5 tsp per liter). After soaking, rub with a regular sponge.
• You can use special means: Mister Muscle, Xylitol Beng, Antizhir, Selena, any formulations for hobs. The super powerful Unicum Grizzly gel, designed to dissolve old stains and instantly acting, will help perfectly. The selected product is applied by spraying, the further action is according to the instructions. This is usually 5-20 minutes. Next, wash with a sponge under running water.
• Wanting to save money, rub the laundry soap (72%) and dilute it in water (for 2.5 liters of 0.5 bar of soap). Get ready to cook. Choose a saucepan or a bucket, you can take a deep baking sheet from the oven. If there is no large container, you can cook each half in turn, that is, immerse one side, then the other. In 20 minutes, the dirt will go away and it will remain to clean the residues with a sponge and rinse.
• There is another way using household / soap. Rub the soap directly on the grease trap grate (on both sides), fill with hot water, add soda ash and let it soak. Then boil for 5 minutes, rub with a toothbrush and rinse.
• Baking soda will help clean even a mesh that is completely clogged and no longer has gaps. You will need to boil in a saucepan for about half an hour. Add a glass of baking soda to 3 liters of boiling water. By the way, when cooking, the plastic latches will not suffer.
• Who does not want to boil - baking soda with butter in a dense form will help (1, 5: 1). It turns out to be a cool fat solvent. Spread on, let dry, brush and rinse off with a sponge + dishwashing liquid.
• Ferry mixed with water + citric acid + baking soda. Apply with a sponge to the filter mesh, let stand for half an hour and rinse with water.
So, you are armed with several methods for cleaning the hood filter. It is important to remember that it is always easier to remove fresh dirt. Therefore, we advise you to clean it more often.
