🧽 5-Minute Hood Filter Cleaning Method
What You’ll Need
- Hot water (enough to submerge the filter)
- Dish soap (degreasing type)
- Baking soda (optional, for heavy grease)
- A sink or large basin
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Remove the filter
- Most hood filters slide or pop out easily. Check your model if unsure.

- Add 1–2 tablespoons of dish soap per liter of water.
- Optional: sprinkle 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda for extra grease-cutting power.
- Soak the filter
- Submerge the filter in the hot soapy water for 3–5 minutes.
- The grease will start breaking down quickly.
- Agitate gently
- Move the filter back and forth in the water or use a soft brush to dislodge stubborn grease.
- Rinse and dry
- Rinse thoroughly with hot water.
- Shake off excess water and let it air dry completely before reinstalling.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Clean filters regularly — once a month prevents buildup and improves airflow.
- For very greasy filters, repeat soaking or leave in hot water for a few more minutes.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the mesh.
