I put mine on backwards how do I get them out
Our TV announcer did the oven method and melted the grates. Turns out they are plastic 😂
Thanks, MM! I'm cleaning if for the first time in 3 years! Never even crossed my mind it was there, so I'm glad it's soaking now!!!
THANK YOU. I just cleaned 20 years of grease off my hood filter, and it looks brand-new!! All I can say is WOW
What chemical did you use please share
Which method did you use?
Greasy Range Hood Exhaust Filters got you down? Worry not, Melissa shares some grease-busting tips and tricks that will help you rid yourself of of that build-up!
Can you please do a video on key areas to clean around your home?
holy smokes you must've read my mind cause I was wondering about this the other day
Why not just hot water and vinegar? Also: if you have a self-cleaning oven, pop it in there.
Karsten Fjellheim mine has a plastic section for the overhead light to show through, the self-cleaning oven would melt that.
Hey Melissa, I just bought an old house which has an exhaust fan that looks like its never been cleaned in its life! I've tried everything this grease is THICK but it cant replace it because its literally been bricked in! Help!
Good morning from Seattle. ☀️
I've been binge watching your channel and specifically searched for this sticky, grease laden task. I appreciate all of the tips and tricks you share on your channel. It's been very helpful. Thank you.
WOW! I’m so grateful for you, Melissa. The mineral oil for the hood, then oxygen bleach and boiling water for the screen made everything look brand new!
Great video as always.
To tell the truth, my filters never get to that messy build-up state. I have always cleaned them every weekend during my normal cleaning chores. And I also clean them immediately after a particular greasy splatter happy meal prep.
Luv your channel 👍🏾❤️🇨🇦
Use dish washing liquid, baking soda (works fantastic), and boiling hot water. Soak for 15-20 minutes and then rinse. Scrub with brush or sponge gently if necessary. Repeat if necessary. The baking soda makes all the difference in cleaning the filter. Yet another use for baking soda too!
Nice I'll have to check it out..what do you use as a degreaser for the residue left behind once the filter is off do you wipe it with the same stuff or something else.
Didn't work for me, I guess mine was just too greasy.
@@vmilovanovic HEY boiled water mix OXI CLEAN in it. Do not burn your hands. place vent in the mix and wait 30 minutes and magic will happen, mine was Dark brown now shiny and silver , no scrubbing *
baking soda cleans oven glass wonderfully 3 tablespoons water to 1/2 cup soda. smear it oin glass let sit for few hours then wipe off
@@roxylovesdaisies😊
I didn't even know i was supposed to clean it! 😱 I was googling how to clean the hood. Thanks!
Same.
I hardly ever fry, however I have a thin, dark charcoal grey material inside of mine & I'm scared it'll disintegrate when soaked... I didn't see it on hers.
Does anyone have one like this & do you clean it the same way?
Please and thanks, in desperate need here because it's really disgusting!
@@pickledjalapeno9482 I see you posted about your range hood filter and how to clean it a while ago. I have one just like yours (grey material on the back - ?) Did you ever get an answer how to clean it?
@@amycrawford1552 I did not... besides soaking it, but I bought a new one from Amazon.
(If you choose to do that, just make sure that it's the correct number... should be on there.)
Thanks for the reply. My husband thinks we should just replace it. I hope the company is still in business! 🙄😉
Used to think I was spilling oil from my pans. Last night I got home from a week away to find drops of oil on my range. Turns out they were literally DRIPPING FROM MY FILTERS!
Subscribed!
I clean my stove vent filters all the time (every couple of weeks) with dawn dish soap and hot water, but I decided to give your OxyClean method a try....... it was fabulous. This was hassle free and quick. Soak for 10 minutes and rinse and done. This is my new go-to method. BTW, I tried using the dishwasher once to clean the filters, but the caustic chemicals ruined/discolored the filters and mine cost over $70 to replace, which I did. I also tried the oven method once, the grease baked onto the filters instead of melting off and discolored the filters a dark brownish-yellow. Yuk
Thanks for this information.
I learned recently that this is really high on the list of main reasons your house catches on fire. No one likes a grease fire! (also your exhaust fan for your clothing dryer, get that cleaned out too)
3:38 Because oil dissolves oil. in fact you don't need to use mineral oil, any kitchen oil works the say way, it's just that if you need to make sure to clean out the kitchen oil more thoroughly than mineral oil, you can also try the oil method on removing glue residue.
Thank you for your help with this ICKY task! Your directions are very good - I do use Oxy Clean, but it is pricey. To to be honest, I tried the “5 minute baking soda” method, and it was incredible! That is something everyone has, it is cheap, and my disgusting filter looks BRAND NEW.
Cleaned my filter today and was about to buy a replacement one just in case, but decided not to after your comment about the landfill. Thank you.
My husband has also taken them to the car wash and cleaned them with the power washer there. I would prefer this soak at home method to carting the thing around though. Thanks for the tip!! --Anne
Oh that's an interesting one!
I tried the first tip and it worked wonders!! Thank you so much! I have been trying for such a long time to clean the greasy hood filters of my stove but nothing else worked. I used vanish oxi action and in 30 minutes all the grease had moved on the surface of the hot water and so I just rinsed the filters and they were ready. Thank you!!!!
Murphy’s Oil or Orange Clean works like a charm👍🏽
Going to try oxi clean. Glad your mentioned dishwasher method, I was going to try that, glad I didn’t
This is unbelievable!!! I did not even leave it for 30 mins - I soaked it in a cookie tray - sprinkled the OXY Clean powder and poured boiling hot water and it came out amazingly clean!!!
Thanks for this incredible video! My filters were horrible and I mean the very very worst. I used boiled water and OxyClean and after 40 minutes if soaking my filters were like new! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!
My stove filter is full of grease so I am going to try your idea with oxyi l will let you know how easy it was. Pauline
OXI CLEAN worked Great for me brown to shiny silver :)
Great video. When cleaning the hood itself, I've found that spraying the hood with one part vinegar and one part warm water in a 12 oz. spray bottle and then wiping down with a damp paper towel really gets it clean and shiny.
Mine is heavily greased though, that doesn't sound like it'll work for me, I need a hammer and chisel to get the job done :(
@@Gorguruga Hey did you find an alternative to a hammer and chisel lol I'm trying to find an alternative to the mineral oil, hopefully something already in house😊
Did exactly as stated with boiled water and OxiClean. It worked perfectly! Thanks!
💌 Thank you for the tip! My Rang Hood Filter definitely needed cleaned. I used a couple of scoops of Borax and soaked it for 10 minutes. That worked great! I usually do it in the spring cleaning but I forgot. I had replaced the old one with a new one when I moved in so it wasn't too bad but the better thing is to replace the Range Hood just as soon as I can!
@Simr Khera No not dumb at all. It needs replaced because the paint is chipping off and cleaning cannot fix it.
I always put mine in the dishwasher and use enzyme cleaner (1 Tablespoon in the soap dispenser) instead of soap and both come out clean and smelling fresh. Of course I use 1 cup vinegar in a hot wash cycle to take the calcium buildup out of the thing too so that helps keep the drain clean. As for removing them they either slide sideways or pop off. Sometimes the top of your range can flip up as well and it's good to clean that in case of fire. Check the owners manual to read how to open or run your fingers along the edges to look for a lever or switch or just gently but firmly pull up on the edge to see if it pops up. There ought to be a prop to hold it open during cleaning. Note the drip pans and heating elements will need removed before you get up close and personal poking around on you cooker. Best wishes.
The dishwasher concerns me because of the grease build up in the filter...but sounds like you are in a groove with it!
This video was posted yesterday, and I cleaned my filters yesterday. I'm actually surpised you didn't mention baking soda. I added my filters to a large pot of boiling water. Then, I added distilled vinegar. Afterwards, I slowly (very slowly!!!) added baking soda. It did the trick!
I don't remember ever cleaning the filter! It was soo gross. Thank you for the tips, I used oxi clean method, as soon as I dunk the Filter in and started to stir, I could already see the grease coming off! I love your Chanel
I just tried the OxiClean and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! So glad I could help, but you did the work, so good on you!
I can't figure out how to post my pic - - - I cleaned my filter about 4 months ago, I don't do much frying. I used a spray mixture I make myself with ammonia and liquid dish soap in it - pretty well dissolves the grease, sprayed it with hot water, then put it in the dishwasher. I agree with what you say about putting it in the dishwasher - we definitely don't want to clog that up with grease!!! Years ago when I had a really badly encrusted filter, I used an auto degreaser on it, then hot water, worked like a charm.
I cleaned mine when moved into my current house in October. Now, is probably a good time to open it up again.
If only you posted this last week.. I just cleaned mine and it was GROSS. And took forever to clean, lol. Thanks for making my next cleaning a little easier.
I just dipped the screen in warm water then placed on tea towel then sprinkled generously with Baking Soda and drizzled on liquid dish soap, then scrubbed with a green scrubby and after I rinsed in hot water rinsed. Came out gleaming clean!
I clean my filter once a month in the dishwasher as that is what the manufacturer's instructions were. However, I value my dishwasher more than the filter so I think I'll try one of the other methods from now on. Thanks Melissa.
LOL - that's a good way to put it!
The Oxyclean in super hot water worked really well. Thank you!
Cleaning mine for the first time in almost 15 years.
Good tips, thank you. I would like to use my grill, a baking pan with the solutions given here and bring to boil. Store liquid waste in a used jar going to trash.
I have cleaned my filter by putting it in the dishwasher- works great!
Omg ive been wanting a way to clean my range hoods forever i usually just soak in hot water but it doesnt help. Thanks i just found you channel and love it
I try to reply but comments have been disables in this video. You boil a pot with water large enough where you can put filter. After its boiling pour baking soda like a cup and after you pour it it will Zizzle then u put in filter let it sit like a minute if it fits the whole filter or just do half of it then turn it over the the undone side. Hope I explained it right and believe me it works.
@@26alexther OXI CLEAN worked better , no scrubbing at all.
Brown vent to Shiny and Silver :)
My filter is on my over the range microwave and really doesn't get turned on all that much....only when I am boiling water for pasta and such. We RARELY fry anything so there is actually very little in my filter. I have never cleaned it and we have had the microwave for 10 years or so. It is NOW on my list of things to do...as soon as I get some more oxygen bleach!
Thanks for another great video!
Then let's hope it's an easy clean! You are most welcome, Shannon Vary !
wish I did a before and after photo. Tried the oxiclean and these filters look like new. They haven't been truly cleaned in 10 years - so they were gross and I'm not sure if they were cleaned by the previous owner of the house. Thank you so much for this tip. Wow.
Wow the Oxi and hot water works so well ! Thank you
35 years of grease!!!...used oven cleaner initially and then soaked it in a 5 gal bucket of hot water and simple green over night...then ran it under more hot water...got majority of grease off but may at some point try your suggestion of putting in oven on newspapers...will also try mineral oil on exterior which is a copper hood my father in law made for our stove 35 years ago. Actually amazed that the hood and or filter did not catch fire with the mountains of grease build up...
LOL at the French fries comment. You have great personality which comes across well. My filters are not completely nasty but I wouldn't want anyone to see it. Time to clean it! Thanks for the tips. Well done.
OMG you read my mind! I totally needed this!
I do read minds, yes!
I recently moved into an older apartment and the filters had been... neglected. A hot water soak with a large portion of Borax added to it did an awesome job cleaning the grease off.
You're right about boiling hot water and enzyme cleaners, I use a powder for clothes hand washing and it works wonders after an hour of soaking and minor scrubbing. The downside to it is firstly you have to wear gloves when you scrub cause enzymes are really tough oh the hands, and secondly you have to rinse thoroughly to get the detergent off (especially powdery ones). After all if you do deep fry or just fry on the stovetop often it's essential that you do it once a month or just whenever you see it start building grease. The less greasy, the less time it'll take to clean.
I've owned my house for 7 years. I tried cleaning it yesterday. personally I suppose it hasn't been cleaned since the house was built 38 years ago. Alas I will try your method.
"Variety is the spice of life" was surprise and the best comment on this video :)
Thank you so much. Now I know I won't have to buy another filter ever again. God bless you. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
mine is gross which is why i was looking for easy methods to clean. Will give your first method a try. Thanks
What is the best way to get rid of the water you cleaned the vent in???
I just moved into my house and i guess the person that lived here before me never cleaned her filter, in fact she told me she lived there for 3 years and never cleaned it. I didnt know what do because this is my first time having a stove with a hood. I used alcohol ( my hold grail now) i stopped up my sink, poured a bunch of alcohol in, poured a bunch of dish washing soap and i soaked it for 10 mins. OMG what a difference! Then I poured alcohol directly on it, scrubbed it with a brush and then i used the sink hose and MY GOD? I dont know how a brand new one looks, but it looked new to me! I compared it to my brothers and now he wants me to do his.
I use Murphy’s Oil. I put the filers in the slop sink spray both sides with Murphy’s Oil and let it sit for 1/2hr then I scrub lightly with a brush and rinse with hot water. Murphy’s Oil is the best hands down.
YEAH, I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT AND MY ANCIENT STOVE JUST KICKS THE AIR BACK INTO THE KITCHEN. AREN'T I THE LUCKY ONE!! I have removed the filter -- for some time. Really need to make this a priority, as I love to cook. Thank you for these tips. I will use one.
Yikes! I’ve NEVER cleaned the filter…..until now. Trying the methods presented. So excited!
I didnt hve a clue how to clean ours but we finally got them down and after years (i know grosss!!) your trick worked like a charm. Thank u Makers and Oxi Clean. 😜😋
Pleased to report that the OxiClean hack works as advertised. My grease-laden range hood filters were given a long, long soak in boiled water and the oxygenating detergent. After removal some four or five hours later, the filters received a final surface wash with Dawn dishwashing liquid. They look and feel clean once again! Thank you for the suggestion!
haha :D i just cleaned it last week, cause i was sick and stuck at home... :P i used dishwash soap and a sponge :)
Thank you so much I did this and it worked instantly.
Hey Melissa, i'm just getting into cooking with cast iron pans. Can you do a video on how you season new pans and how you clean your cast iron cookware after each use? Thanks!
September, but obviously we have fried more than the previous homeowners because the filter is still slightly scungy (sic) after I tried the boiling water and the open dishwasher detergent pack-method. I will definitely be trying Oxy-Clean tomorrow.
Works like a charm every single time!!
omg! I just tried this and it works great! I love you thanks so much
Do you have a tip on cleaning the weird fabric stuff that some filters are made of in the cooker hood ?
Yep needs doing a try father in laws place.
Hate to admit this but I never even knew this filter existed. I went and checked mine out it's really small 5 x 7 1/2 and very clean (looks new). Now I don't do that much stovetop cooking but I'm renting so it could have been dirty from prior occupants. So either they didn't cook or I have the best landlord ever who either cleaned it or replaced it when she bought the house and rented it to me.
That's OK Jill Olsen - you are so great with taking care of so many other things around your house! Consider yourself lucky that it's in good shape and now, if it does get gross, you know what to do!
My filter was at least 10x dirtier than yours!! Yuck!!!! However now it is pristine, thanks to you and your advice.
You are right about cast iron cooking. Grease splatter and smoke detectors blasting within minutes doesnt make indoor cast iron cooking enjoyable for me.
Im cleaning mines now as we speak. Im doing it with dawn dish soap. Hopefully i will feel cleaner that i know how to do it now
In the 4 years that I've lived in my house, I confess that I've never cleaned my exhaust filters. I always dread it bc it seems too hard to do. Your way makes it seem so much easier. I think I do have some oxy-clean. Thanks!
BTW, I guess I'm the only one that noticed, but there's a typo on "exhaust" in the beginning of the video. ;)
Lol good catch for the typo!!! :)
It's super easy - it is just a matter of doing it now! And yes, we noticed the typo AFTER it was uploaded. Ah, can't be perfect all the time ;)
Oh no! I did once put it in the dishwasher 😬 I pre-soaked it and scrubbed it before and only did it to finish cleaning it but either way I won't be doing it again! Thanks for the tips!
Just did this, worked an absolute charm.
Ive been giving the kitchen a facelift. when I found my screen filters. Mine are bad very cruddy. I ordered oxiclean. I will give it a try.
Worked perfectly! Thank you!
hi Melissa I tried goof up liquid. and it worked awesome
Hi Melissa I'm one of your subscriber and was amazed that you don't have a video to clean the gas hob. Can you please make a video about cleaning the gas hob. Many thanks
Update: I just tried this, and it didn't even take ten minutes. I used Sard Wonder OxyPlus "Degreaser" formula, and not only did it clean the filter, but it cleaned my brush when I lightly ran it over the filter! Most impressed!
Josie M That's fantastic! I am so glad it worked for you - this is one sweet trick!
How would you clean Glass Splashbacks over your gas cooker?
Hi! I’m from the year 2021 And wow this video is old! BUT very useful! That why I’m here, to gain some tips in cleaning my range hood filters. Thanks for sharing!
Adios 😘
Thank you! It drove me mad scrubbing and soaking them
How do you dispose the water in the bucket once complete? Thanks, video was a great help!
I dispose it in an old bathtub! Glad I can help!
Worked great for me.
My filter was so nasty , the local landfill sent it back to me....
Lol
MA Sha Allah you are truthful.
Awesome!!! I had to clean my range hood filter before but I ended up using a bit more elbow grease!! These methods are definitely worth a try!
:) - I think so!
Great video, great site! Two questions for you Melissa: In my country I can only find alcohol and hydrogen peroxide in a pharmacy. I did my research but I found that I can't find isopropyl alcohol but only ethyl alcohol 70% - will it do the work as well? And as for hydrogen peroxide, there is only one H202 that containes only 3% of Hydrogen Peroxide in a dark bottle! Do I need to find clean 100% of that or I can use it as well? Please respond, Im really eager to make some DIY cleaning products!
Great video, thanks and can’t wait to try! Just had a question, how do I dispose of that greasy water in the bucket post cleaning the filters? Pouring it down any drain will be clogging that drain up with grease too isn’t it?
Thank you for the fun video. I am going to get busy with some of your idea. Thank you!
Thank you...the Oxiclean and hot water seem to be doing a great job.
I have never cleaned them but I am about to right now. I m tempted tp put in the dishwasher but I am going to try soaking them in oxyclean mixture first. If there is anything left, then I will follow up in the dishwasher.
I'm cleaning the exterior of my kitchen range hood right now but I'll try the filter with Oxy Clean! Thank u:)
I loved your video on oven cleaning ( the racks and being that I have an electric stove I'll include the drip pans from the burners ) this looks like it takes no effort at all and you could actually start when you get up in the morning and then you will have a clean oven rack by the time you took dinner or you can make a cold dinner like a sandwich. or take out!!! thanks
Soo happy I saw this! Was cleaning stove today and looked up and said wow wonder how you clean it :)
The person who owned my current home never cleaned the range hood. I could write my name in the grease. I took some Dollar tree oven cleaner and sprayed both sides of the filter and let sit over night. Same with the hood and of course I had to change the light bulb too. It's been three years and every two weeks I clean the hood to keep it from building up again. I still cringe at the memory. LOL!
That's certainly not a pleasant memory! Eww!
I had a grease fire on my stove very recently so I had to replace everything so much filter is pretty clean and brand new
Ooops....! Your timing is perfect! It builds up faster than I thought... :)
Fantastic - get to it!
Just looked at mine hadn’t cleaned it for 12 years, but it doesn’t look too bad. Anyhow I’m cleaning it today as I saw your video
baking soda and hot water works fabulous to!!
I never knew about those filters so I just checked and they appear clean. It's been almost 3 years since I moved in with brand new appliances. But they (2 small filters) are over the back burners which I rarely use.
I've been waiting for this! I searched your channel for it, but didn't find anything. You have no idea how happy this has made me! :D
Is there any chance you might also do a video on how to clean an ordinary, non-self-cleaning oven?
I am glad you have finally gotten your CMS wish! And yes, we have to cover that in a video sometime soon, we get asked a lot.
That would be awesome! Also, I sent you a message via your Facebook CMS page, as I couldn't find a message function here on CZcams. I feel it's important, so I'm letting you know so it isn't missed. Thanks again! :)
