Let's face it, nobody likes cleaning their rangehood filters. All the oil and grime builds up within the tiny gaps in the filter, making it a difficult job for most cleaning products. Not so with Grease Stripper, which has been designed to tackle the hardest cleaning jobs. Cleaning your rangehood filter is simple and here are 5 easy steps to follow that will leave them looking good as new.

Steps to clean your rangehood filter

  1. Remove the fan filter from the rangehood fan. You can also remove any light covers, knobs, etc. that need to be cleaned.
  2. Fill a bucket with enough hot or boiling water to cover the filter when placed inside.
  3. Pour the required amount of Richard’s Original Grease Stripper powder into the bucket and mix it with hot water.
  4. Using rubber gloves, place the rangehood filter in the bucket with the mixture. Let it soak for the recommended amount of time.
  5. Rinse and dry all cleaned surfaces, and replace the rangehood fan filters and parts.
