What are the methods for cleaning range hoods

The range hood has become a must-have in every home and plays a very critical role in our kitchen. It is installed above the stove in the kitchen. It can quickly extract the waste burned by the stove and the fumes harmful to the human body generated during the cooking process and discharge them outdoors, reducing pollution, purifying the air, and has anti-toxic and explosion-proof safety protection functions. Therefore, the cleaning of the range hood is very critical. So what are the methods for cleaning the range hood? Let me introduce them to you below. Let’s take a look.

Before cleaning the range hood, you can turn on the range hood first, spray the detergent on the fan blades and the inner wall, use the centrifugal force when the machine rotates to first shake off the softened oil stains, and then wipe the inner wall clean; when wiping the gas stove, you should use a milder detergent. For the furnace mouth, you can use a fine wire brush to remove carbonized matter, then use the fine wire to pierce the fire holes one by one, and use a brush to remove the dirt. For oil stains on gas stoves, apply kerosene to the stained area and wipe it a few times to clean it. Old stains can be sprayed with oil cleaning solution and then wiped with newspaper or damp cloth. New oil stains can be wiped off with a dry cloth while they are still hot. If there is black ash on the tile stove, you can wipe it with half a lemon.

If the fan blades are equipped with a mesh cover, you can use an old toothbrush dipped in a little vinegar and soapy water to gently scrub the mesh. After rinsing with water, it will be as smooth as new.

Cover the switch with plastic wrap and change it frequently. In this way, you only need to remove the plastic wrap when cleaning, and the chance of oil stains accumulating in the gaps of the range hood will be greatly reduced.

The range hood is the place in the kitchen that produces the most oil smoke. Simple maintenance on a daily basis can save you the hassle of year-end cleaning. After cooking each time, let the range hood continue to run for 30 seconds to 1 minute to draw the remaining smoke and water vapor and unburned carbon monoxide in the air out of the house, reducing the risk of housewives getting lung cancer.

Cleaning the range hood is very important. I believe that everyone has understood the range hood cleaning method introduced above. I also want to tell you that no matter what the problem is, prevention is always more important than treatment. Therefore, for the range hood, the most important thing is prevention. The newly purchased range hood must be protected and defensive measures must be taken to avoid the trouble of cleaning.
