How to Range Hood Filter Cleaning

Every time you cook, your range hood captures airborne grease, smoke, and odors—but all that grease accumulates in the filter. A clogged filter reduces airflow dramatically, leaving cooking smoke and grease particles to settle on your cabinets and walls instead. Worse, accumulated grease is a fire hazard if a stovetop flare-up reaches the hood. This quick maintenance involves removing the filter, degreasing it thoroughly (or replacing charcoal filters), and cleaning the hood interior where grease collects. Clean filters keep your kitchen air fresh and your home safer.
