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.

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!!!

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!

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!

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!!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!

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

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!

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!

Did exactly as stated with boiled water and OxiClean. It worked perfectly! Thanks!

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

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. 😜😋

💌 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 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)

"Variety is the spice of life" was surprise and the best comment on this video :)

I'm cleaning the exterior of my kitchen range hood right now but I'll try the filter with Oxy Clean! Thank u:)

I cleaned mine when moved into my current house in October. Now, is probably a good time to open it up again.

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 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

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

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!

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?

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.

hi Melissa I tried goof up liquid. and it worked awesome

Yikes! I’ve NEVER cleaned the filter…..until now. Trying the methods presented. So excited!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

About to request this video..coz just tried cleaning it last week and I couldn't clean it thoroughly.. Thanks for the video..

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.

Works like a charm every single time!!

haha :D i just cleaned it last week, cause i was sick and stuck at home... :P i used dishwash soap and a sponge :)

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!

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.

The Oxyclean in super hot water worked really well. Thank you!

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

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!

It is actually on my "to do" list for monday, so the timing of this video was perfect ;) I don't remember when it was cleaned the last time, but it has been a while :-/ I know it looks horrible *embarrassed*

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 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 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.

Thank you so much I did this and it worked instantly.

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

Do you have a tip on cleaning the weird fabric stuff that some filters are made of in the cooker hood ?

Geniales trucos, te sigo mucho desde España, lastima que no haya traducción. Me gusta mucho tu canal.

Quick question: With the oven method of cleaning, did you mean 250 degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius? I don't have a big enough bucket for the other method, but I don't want to damage my filter

Do you have a video on cleaning (and preventing buildup or smudges) stainless steel appliances? :)

the oxiclean works amazing!

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!

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...

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.

OMG you read my mind! I totally needed this!

Melissa! I don't have a range hood in my kitchen (rental apartment) and yes I assume that is not up to code but since the grease has no where to escape properly (and i cooke with Le Cruset too) the grease sticks on a wire shelving unit that is above the stove, it was added by the landlord for extra storage, this shelving area is pure grease heaven. It's that wire shelving with a white plastic coating on it, do you know what I mean? Anyways how can I get grease off of that type of surface? I can't take the shelving off and soak it because its about 5 feet in length HELP

Mine wasn’t cleaned for 9 months, I soaked it in an industrial degreaser, rinsed it then took it outside and pressure/power washed it with a 150bar machine, with the cutter nozzle on, worked a treat, looked like new.

Thank you! It drove me mad scrubbing and soaking them

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!

Oxiclean is also great on greased caked on glass pans, just soak in hot water with about 1/4 cup of Oxiclean.

This worked great on the filters, but now I can’t get the grease off of the plastic bucket! Tried oxiclean obviously and a couple other soaps, but there’s still a nasty slime. Any advice for getting grease off the plastic?

I cleaned mine a few months ago. Should do it more often. We eat a lot of greasy food around here!

I used the oxiclean soak in a bucket with the filter standing up. The filter developed a black line across it (where the water line was). Not sure how to get it off or what I did wrong. Any suggestions?

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!
