cleaning cooker hood filters

[DXP55]

One job LED to another.

While I had steps out decided to clean cooker hood - We have one with the rectangular SS mesh filters and they are a PITA to clean - I put them on some newspaper and rub Swafega into them - leave a bit then wash in hot soapy water.

Anyone else got a easier and better idea - Was thinking about just buying new ones till saw price.

How about putting them in a cat litter tray and soaking them in paraffin.

Deepio spray, it's a commercial product so unless you have access to a wholesaler you might have to order it online.

I usually just use washing up liquid poured on neat and worked in gently with a washing up brush. Leave it on a few minutes then turn the filter over and do the other side in the same way then rinse it off thoroughly with lots of very hot water.

Or you could try soaking them in washing soda solution.

Soaked in fairy then water boiled from the kettle, several passes. Works every time for me.

I did once soak them in Fairy liquid and poured boiled water over them - managed to warp the plastic handle and locking tab fittings.

I soaked mine in boiling water and washing powder such as aerial etc.

I Would expect an oven cleaner something like oven pride to be best to use

or maybe try a steam cleaner if you own one
