Easily cope with the cleaning of the exhaust with the help of remedies, dishwasher or household chemicals.
How often you have to clean the hood depends on how much you cook. If rarely and quickly, it is enough to clean the drawing lattice every 4-6 months, if every day and in large volumes - at least once a month. If this is not done, there will be fat and dust on the lattice, the air will be cleared worse, the noise will become more, and the extract itself will sooner or later fail. In addition, this is a serious violation of the sanitary conditions in which you are preparing your food.
Preparation
- Disconnect the hood from the outlet.
- Decorate the locks and pull the fat filter. You can clean only a steel filter. If you have a disposable, made of paper, acrylic or phlizelin, you can only change it. Make it every 3-4 months.
- Remove the carbon filter if you have a circulation extract that takes the air from the kitchen, cleans and sends back to the room. Wash the coal filter is also impossible, it is changed every 4-6 months. If you have a flow hood, which produces air to the street, periodically need to clean the ventilation channel.
- Clean the housing itself. As a rule, it is not strongly polluted and you can use the usual dishwashing agent.
Methods for weak and medium pollution
1. detergent for washing dishes
The easiest way that works if you brush the hood regularly:
- find the container in which the filter is placed;
- put a filter in it, pour detergent and pour hot water;
- Leave for 30-40 minutes, then clean the metal sponge;
- Rinse thoroughly, dry and only then install in place.
If the first time everything is nothed, you can repeat the procedure, but if it does not help, it's worth moving to methods for strong contaminants.
2. With the help of soda
The way for those who do not like to apply household chemicals once again. Please note that this method is not suitable for aluminum shiny lattices, since because of soda, they can become matte. The method with soda takes a little longer, but also well cleans the surface:
- put a large saucepan with water on the stove and add half a glass of soda at the rate of 10 liters;
- Heat the water, dip the filter and boil 30 minutes;
- Get and try to remove the fat brush, it should easily go.
3. With soap and soda
This method is already suitable for the average degree of contamination, as it is more efficient than an ordinary soap solution. Do not forget that the stronger contamination, the more active cleaning agent is used, and therefore it is necessary to control the process in order not to damage the grill itself.Soak the grid in a hot water container, adding a quarter of a glass of soda and a pair of tablespoons of dishwashing liquids. Leave for 10-15 minutes and check how fat rubs. If hard to increase the amount of detergent. Instead, it is possible to use rubbing soaps in a grated or add 70% food vinegar to a solution.
4. In the dishwasher
The dishwasher will cope with the raid on the lattice, if you wash it so at least once every two weeks. Regular small cost of effort will save you time in the future.
