How do you clean a range hood?
Wipe the surface
Wipe the surface of the range hood with a soft cloth and neutral detergent, and do not use a strong corrosive detergent, which is easy to damage the range hood.
The oil tank is cleaned
Paste a layer of plastic wrap on the inside of the oil tank, directly remove the plastic wrap when cleaning, and then use detergent to clean the residual oil stains at the bottom of the oil tank, so that the cleaning is easier.
The oil net is clean
The oil mesh can be slowly removed with a screwdriver, and after being removed, it can be placed in warm water poured with neutral detergent for 10 minutes, and then brushed and dried with a soft plastic brush.
Fan blade cleaning
Remove the fan blades, soak them in hot water mixed with dish soap and vinegar for 15 minutes, and then scrub them off with a damp cloth.
Although you may think that it has been cleaned quite cleanly, you don't know that the really dirty inside of the range hood, including the fan, turbine, motor, check valve, etc., it is best to find a professional to deep clean it every six months.
