How to clean the oil screen of the range hood

Most people can see that the oil net of their range hoods is very dirty at home. Some people even dare not touch the oil net with their hands, otherwise their hands may be covered with a lot of oil. However, if there is too much oil on it, the effect of the range hood will be greatly affected, making people feel that the effect of the range hood is not as good as before when cooking.

Boil water.

If the oil net of the range hood is not cleaned for a long time, a lot of oil will hang on it. Generally, they will slowly drip into the oil storage box along the oil net. Therefore, to clean the oil net, first let the oil hanging on the oil net drip into the oil storage box quickly. At the beginning, we can boil water under the range hood.

Wait about ten minutes.

Keep the water burning, turn on the range hood, and let it absorb the water vapor. After about ten minutes, you will find that the oil on the oil net flows along the oil net into part of the oil storage box, making it easier to clean below.

Remove the oil screen.

Unscrew the oil storage box, then unscrew the screws on the oil screen and remove the oil screen. Generally, a range hood has two to four screws. Look carefully and unscrew them to remove it. It is very simple.

Oil net soaked.

Pour the prepared detergent into a basin, add hot water, and then soak the oil net in it for fifteen minutes.

About minutes. Here, you can use alkali, vinegar or a strong degreaser. Of course, if conditions permit, it is recommended to use a strong degreaser. This degreaser specifically designed to remove oil stains can remove oil stains more thoroughly.

Clean the oil screen.

Use a rag dipped in hot water to clean the oil screen. If there is still oil stain, add some degreaser and wipe it. If it has not been cleaned for a long time and the oil stains are too thick, you can use a steel wool or a brush to remove the oil stains from the oil mesh holes and then wipe it with a rag until the oil is cleaned.

Scrub with detergent.

Wipe the oil net dry, and then apply a layer of detergent on the dry oil net. This will give the oil net a protective film, making it much easier to clean next time. However, the cleaning interval should not be too long, otherwise the oil smoke will accumulate too thickly and the detergent applied will lose its effectiveness.

So if you want to clean your oil net, you should use a rag dipped in hot water to clean it. If there is a lot of oil stains, you must add some degreaser to scrub it. However, if your range hood has not been cleaned for a long time, these methods will not be very effective. You should also use a steel wool to scrub it until it is clean.
