Your Oven Hood Filter Is a Greasy Mess — Easily Restore It to Like-New Condition with These 3 Methods
If your kitchen oven hood filter looks more like a greasy magnet than a clean surface, you’re not alone. Over time, cooking fumes, oil splatters, and smoke build up layers of stubborn grease that not only look unpleasant but also reduce your hood’s efficiency. The good news? You don’t need to replace it or spend hours scrubbing — with a few simple methods, you can restore your oven hood filter to near-new condition quickly and easily.
Here are 3 proven methods to get your greasy oven hood filter sparkling clean again!
Method 1: Baking Soda and Dish Soap Soak
What You’ll Need:
- Hot water
- 1/2 cup baking soda
- A few drops of liquid dish soap
- Large basin or sink
How to Do It:
- Remove the filter from the oven hood.
- Fill a large basin or sink with very hot water.
- Add baking soda and dish soap, stirring to dissolve and create a cleaning solution.
- Submerge the filter completely and let it soak for 15–30 minutes.
- After soaking, use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub away loosened grease.
- Rinse thoroughly with hot water and dry before reinstalling.
Method 2: Dishwasher Deep Clean
What You’ll Need:
