Baking soda and dish soap are common household items that can be combined to create an effective grease-cutting solution. Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive, helping to lift grease, while dish soap breaks down the oils. This method is ideal for those who prefer using natural cleaning agents and is effective for moderate grease buildup.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Baking Soda and Dish Soap Method
1. Remove the filter from the oven hood and place it in a sink or large basin.
2. Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the filter.
3. Add a few squirts of dish soap on top of the baking soda.
4. Fill the sink with hot water, ensuring the filter is submerged.
5. Let the filter soak for 10-15 minutes to allow the baking soda and soap to penetrate the grease.
6. Use a soft brush or sponge to scrub the filter, focusing on areas with heavy buildup.
7. Rinse the filter thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap and baking soda residue.
