Methods for cleaning the oil flue

How to clean the range hood has become a concern for many families nowadays, especially after the range hood has been used for a long time, a thick layer of oil has stood on the oil cup filter panel, which makes the kitchen look unclean and untidy, and too much grease will also harm our health. So what are the ways to clean the range hood? How to clean it correctly through some methods!

Method 1: Pressure cooker steam cleaning method

Raw materials needed for cleaning: pressure cooker, water

First, add cold water into the pressure cooker and bring it to a boil. When steam is continuously discharged, remove the pressure-limiting valve of the pressure cooker. Then, turn on the range hood and aim the steam column discharged from the pressure cooker at the rotating fan blades of the range hood.

As high-temperature steam continuously rushes into the fan blades and other parts, the oily wastewater will flow into the waste oil cup until there is no oil in the waste oil cup, which proves that the range hood is clean.

Method 2: Soapy water cleaning method

Materials needed for cleaning: soap, water

Crush the soap into crumbs, add a little water to make a paste, and then apply it on the surface of components such as the impeller before using the range hood. When the range hood needs to be cleaned after using it for a period of time, just remove the impeller and other components and wipe them with a rag, and the grease can be easily removed.

Method 3: Detergent + vinegar soaking cleaning method

Raw materials needed for cleaning: detergent, vinegar, warm water

Prepare a basin of warm water, then add 3 to 5 drops of detergent and 50 ml of vinegar, mix and stir evenly. Remove the impeller of the range hood that has been used for a period of time and is stained with oil smoke, soak it in the mixed liquid for about 10 to 20 minutes, take it out and wipe it with a clean rag. The outer shell and other parts of the range hood can also be cleaned with this solution. This mixed liquid for cleaning range hoods not only does not harm human skin, but also does not corrode components. The surface of the range hood will retain its original gloss after cleaning.

If you still find the above three range hood cleaning methods too troublesome to clean, you can also buy a piece of slightly thicker gauze and then use a magnet to fix the gauze on the exhaust port of the range hood. This is mainly because the waste oil has been filtered once by gauze before entering the exhaust fan. Just take down the gauze and clean it after the range hood has been used for a period of time.

When cleaning the range hood, we have many tips that can help us clean it, such as using cleaning products, but don't use too much at a time. It is also best to use your hands, so that all the places that cannot be washed can be cleaned. Soak it in detergent and vinegar, and wipe it with a soft cloth after soaking, which will greatly improve the cleaning effect.
