How To Clean Zephyr Range Hood Filters

Let's be honest here—when was the last fourth dimension you inspected the filter in your range hood? Information technology was probably a while ago, correct? Well don't feel bad, because up until a few years ago, I honestly hadn't always given the state of my range hood filter a thought. But one day I was replacing the lightbulb under my range hood, and while I was doing it I caught sight of the filter. It was greasy, grimy, and frankly, pretty icky. I knew I needed to do something virtually information technology, merely I wasn't sure what!

So I did what whatsoever good blogger would practice, and I did some research online. :-) I discovered an easy and relatively mess-free method that will de-grease even the greasiest range hood filter! Later giving it a try, and I was shocked by how well it worked! I was able to bring my range hood filter dorsum from the brink, and gain peace of listen that my range hood could do it'south job. It's the only method I use to this mean solar day! Hither's how information technology's done, then you tin can clean up your range hood filter besides!

How To Make clean Your Range Hood Filter

You'll demand:

Range hood filter
Large stock pot
Water
1/two cup baking soda

Directions:

Grab a stock pot that's large enough to adapt at least one-half of your range hood filter, and fill it with water.

Bring the water to a boil, and slowly add the ane/2 cup of baking soda. Slowly is the operative word here, as the baking soda will fizz up as you add together it to the water. I usually end upward adding it almost a tablespoon or so at a time.

In one case all the blistering soda has been added to the pot, place your greasy range hood filter into the boiling h2o. (You might have to practise one half of the filter at a time depending on the size of your filter.)

Permit the filter boil in the baking soda water for a few minutes, and spotter equally the grease and crud kickoff to rise to the surface! It's gross, all the same fascinating.

Once y'all've boiled the whole affair for at least a few minutes, rinse the filter under hot water from your tap. Once the water starts running clean, yous're washed! If at that place's still some grease and grime trapped in the filter, refill your stockpot with clean h2o and echo the steps once more.

Finally, prop your clean range hood filter up and allow it to air dry for several hours. In one case the filter is completely dry out, supersede it in your hood vent. And that's all there is to it!

The filter at our studio is practically brand new and wasn't dirty at all. Luckily, our lensman, Kaitlyn, had a super dirty one at dwelling house! The filter is on the older side then it definitely doesn't look perfect subsequently cleaning, but you tin can run into how the color is almost completely different one time all that gunk and grease is boiled off! Amazing!
