The Cleanup Crew: Tools of the Trade

Stock up on a degreaser and microfiber cloths. Also, a scrubbrush. It may seem like a simple set-up, but it’s what you need to fight grime. Regular cleaning is the key to a shiny range hood. Once a month will do, but if your kitchen is frequently used for frying, you may need to increase the frequency.

The Deep Clean Downlow

Remove the filter (gloves are recommended) and soak it in a sink of hot water with dish soap and baking soda. While your filter is soaking, use a vinegar-based cleaning solution to remove the gunk. For stainless steel models a gentle scrub will keep them shining without scratching.

A Social Shift In The Kitchen

It’s not just about cleaning, it’s a revolution in the kitchen. Home chefs in America are realizing a clean range-hood is not just for show, but a sign of an organized home. It can make the difference between a clean kitchen and a kitchen you hate to clean.

A range hood that is clean and clear does not just serve as a safety net, but also as a sign of a well-loved home. You’re not only cleaning your home, but you’re also investing in it by following these simple steps.

Imagine the pride you’ll feel when you show off a kitchen as clean as that of a professional chef. You’ll feel proud to cook in a kitchen that is not only safe, but also a reflection on your commitment to a clean home.
