This worked beautifully! My filter makes the one in video look clean already. I used 1/2c. & 1/2c. because my filter had started to (obligatory gross-out!) drip, and used a Dutch oven full of boiling water. The family was in the kitchen for the results reveal and we were all so surprised. That disgusting filter came out gleaming! I did brush it also, though it wasn't needed. This technique is a 5 star solution to an impossible cleaning challenge! (FYI: The dish soap used was Dawn Ultra)
I want to say “thanks” again. I did exactly as you said and it came out amazing clean. I am so happy. Btw, I was one of those that had’t cleaned it since i purchased my home! I will not wait as long next time. :)
Your suggestions are incomplete. What you failed to tell the public is that there were other areas in the filter and creases which are also filled to some extent with oil. Cleaning the filter without cleaning the rest of the top is misleading. I strongly suggest that you retape this with complete information.
2016: Brand new kitchen, brand new fancy gas stove and range hood. First time I tried to remove the filters to clean them, the spring mechanism that kept them in place flipped them out of my hands and flung them into the 1.5” space behind the stove. It was like a rotten magic trick. That was a fun day.
@@terry2346 I take the dishwasher mechanism apart and clean it. Then I run the cycle very hot 80 minutes my drain from my sink never gets clogged due to the hot water coursing thru it.
These are all great responses ,lots of gratitude! If it were me you'd all get hearts. This was a great video and the only one I hit. Its easier than I thought. Looking forward to a clean filter once again. Thanks❤️
I'm happy to see this kind of filter can be cleaned. I am washing it now and found some articles saying you cannot wash only replace...and I think mine is carbon filter? The foamy part. Most how to videos only show how-to clean the wire, part. This video put my mind at ease! So thanks!
@@Goldrefinedthrufire I MEAN TO SAY that , we can wash hood filters in the dishwasher,may be help you not get wet ,,here are meany videos on youtube which advise to wash filters in dishwasher
Most filters are aluminum so the dishwasher is not a good choice. The filters that you can’t clean are the ones with charcoal that help to remove odors.
You give above-average instructions: thorough, not too long and with some light humor. I just subscribed since I see you have many videos giving very informative lessons of interest. Thank you.
You are funny and thus knowledgeable! I love your approach of teaching a boring difficult anxious subject so appealing and interesting encouraging others to go and do it straight away! 👍
I replaced an over the stove microwave oven recently. Under the microwave was a stove vent with two filters. I cleaned the filters about once a year. To my stunned surprise when I replaced the microwave oven I found it was saturated with grease beyond the filters. Had there been a stove fire and the flames entered the microwave oven vent system there would have been a massive grease fire.
This works very well. I risked doing it in the sink because I don't have a big enough container for the mesh plates, but it was fine washed down with plenty more hot water, soda & washing up liquid.
Lol thank you man! Gonna go try this now, just wanted to comment before my ADD makes me forget to. Just wanted to tell you what you already know, you're hilarious and this is a really nice way to look at a not so nice task. I appreciate your positivity!
I just came across your channel, I am amazed at all the different types of helpful videos you have and your delivery of the info made me laugh, which is a very good thing, I subscribed immediately and plan to binge watch all your videos, thank you 👏😂
It's brand new?!?!?! ........how can you tell? I believe you completely and I am assuming this probably comes from a pro parent whose done this a million times ( I know "how do yooouuu Knowww" can sound like a teenager PMSing challenging whoever crosses their path but I would just like to know, is there a tag or sticker? Or is it Just straight impossible to get that clean bag. Because I've never cleaned one of these until now. And we'll see how it goes, but the end result did. Look a little bit brand new to me, too. Either way does this method work,or can you suggest the best way in a link please 🙏!
Soap and water in a tub in the backyard. Although once it's clean, I like the idea of putting it in the dishwasher once every so often as mentioned in the comments
Question! What do you do with the gallon of dirty water if you don’t pour it down the sink or drain? Is it ok to just dump outside? Thank you for the video
I just tried and it worked better than expected. My filter was usd for 5 months. I followed the prep but was stingy on water thinking it would take awhile to work. But the cleaning is done in 1 to 2 min. Just as I pour more hot water I found the hot water can already rinse off all the grease! The key is to find a container big enough to lay the filter flat. I ended up do it in the sink. Yes oil is bad for the pipe, but this is a small quantity.
I would be concerned about any and all grease in the exhaust hood / pipe . As how is the fan effected by using a flashlight . Could a person clean it properly or needing a hood cleaning company . As I would think begining from the roof down using a steamer ? And follow up with a boriscope ? to see the results from top to bottom . As I believe quite a few restaurants are destroyed by fires in their hood exhausts . Not having them periodically and throughly cleaned .
Wash it with Lestoil (about 1full cup) in very hot water. Magic! Brush your filter both sides. Rince. Then wash out all the grease in your system. Then put in place your clean filter! That's it!
Tried this on one filter and Simple Green on the other. Simple Green hands down. It just melted off. Got the idea from using it on my bike chain. Used Simple Green on my air fryer. Like new.
I throw it always in my dishmachine cleaning hyperclean.much easier and result is exellent.maybe not work ewery filter but mine is steel or aluminiunframed and filter is also metallicbase.so it handle it and i dont need to soaking it and wash and rinse.easy and effective way.
It is easier to spray them with Fume free Easy Off and let set outside overnight. Then hose it down and stand up against the back of the house to air dry.
Great video! I do have a question for you. What is the difference between grease and gunk? How do I know if I have grease or do I have gunk?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for making this video!
I just run tap water at its hottest all over it, squirt some dish washing liquid on it and brush it gently with a nail brush, rinsing the filter with hit tap water again. Works like a charm. Of course, if the filter's particularly gunky, your method would work even better at dissolving the caked in grease.
Instead of boiling water and baking soda make a paste of washing soda and equal parts alcohol and Dawn. Press the paste through the mesh, put the filter in a bucket and let it sit 2 hours. Then put the bucket into the bathtub and run hot water through the filter. The grease will have been completely broken down and the bucket can be dumped into the toilet.
Unfortunately, my hood filter is a new delicate filter that will melt with water that is too hot. I mention this in case others also have such a filter. I imagine warm water should work well enough.

If you have a dishwasher it just melts the grease off. I do it every week. Never had to resort to soaking. It’s part of my deep cleaning weekly. 🥰😘
Just make sure you check the grease trap on your dishwasher! :)

Yes , dishwasher is the way to go they come out lovely and grease free . I put my gas top thing in as well .
Thank you all for your advice ❤ I'm going to try the dish washer method
Are they all dishwasher safe ?
These are all great responses ,lots of gratitude!
If it were me you'd all get hearts.
This was a great video and the only one I hit. Its easier than I thought. Looking forward to a clean filter once again.

Sounds like the late great Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett Show
THIS WORKS!! For years I have been trying to clean my hood filter. All I ended up with was a greasy gloppy mess. Thanks!!!
Great video about how to clean a filter. Even better with your humorous narration!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I subscribed for your common sense knowledge and sense of humor. Thank you!
Welcome aboard!
This is my true testimony! I followed the steps twice with very hot water, it worked 👍 I saved a few bucks 💵 Thank you for the diy video ❤
Great job!👍😊❤️
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a video as much as this one! LOL! thank you - am going to give it a go right now.
💪👍☺️
Thank you! It was not too long, full of introductory comments, and you got right to it. You're also funny! Now I'll tackle it. 💪

Good luck clean and easy 👍
Great video. I’m so ignorant that I didn’t know these filters were removable! 🙄 I have a task to attend to!
Glad it was helpful!

Just the bicarb and liquid with elbow grease was enough for me. Didn’t even need to soak. Thank you 👍🏻

Yeaks, don't do it again, in the long run it can cost you lots of money, as chemicals can corroade your pipes !
I love the humor!! Thanks 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
After cleaning it, how do you clean the hood inners? Thank you.
Lol thank you man! Gonna go try this now, just wanted to comment before my ADD makes me forget to. Just wanted to tell you what you already know, you're hilarious and this is a really nice way to look at a not so nice task. I appreciate your positivity!

My mom just let them soak in amonia for about 5 min. Worked every time!
This worked wonders for me. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. You did an awesome job explaining from beginning to end. Now, I’ve got some cleaning to do! 😀
I’m sorry but you didn’t put back the used filter. You replaced it with a new one because you were hiding the stained old filter that you cleaned.
I agree, the filter he replaced was not the one he removed
no, that's just clean. you can clearly see the bulge in the filter when it is replaced. new filters are flat.
We should all dislike this video then
😮...
It's brand new?!?!?!

Placing a paper towel in the container before emptying will soak up some of that grease and scum. Thanks for the video
Lol the narration was funny. Thanks for the help
This was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Simple green works wonders. Works fast.
Great video. I love the humor 🤣
Glad you enjoyed
Question! What do you do with the gallon of dirty water if you don’t pour it down the sink or drain? Is it ok to just dump outside? Thank you for the video
you can dump it out side or bottle it for trash.
Thanks for the great tip. I’ll be cleaning my oven hood filter the way you did it.👍👏
welcome! thanks ! 😊👍
Give this guy a like just for his narrating.
👍
Mine always go in the top rack of the dishwasher laying flat. Come out like new every time. Easier..
Me too I was then going to say the same 😂
How do you know if your filtering dishwasher safe?
I have always submerged them in ammonia. Comes out like new and works instantly.
I just put mine in the dishwasher and it works great
i just realized i have used my stove for almost 40 years and have never cleaned that filter. i am going to do that now.
Just buy a new one❤
@@friedazlife9074 i don't waste money
An explanation of what's inside the filter would help. Is it just a finer mesh? exactly where does the grease accumulate?
Thank you this worked perfectly for me, u got a thumbs up👍
Finally a video that makes sense and no baking soda + vinegar!

Lol. Thanks for the advice. I used my husband’s tools brush.
LOL singsong voice and jokes, made me smile, thx!
I wash mine with soap twice, rinse under hot water then into the dishwasher for a deep clean session. Comes out shiny again 💪🏻
I'm going to do this. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the tip. Funniest "how to" video I've watched!
thanks 😊❤
Nice I'll be doing this this weekend .. thanks 👍
Thank you for the tips.
Thank you for the video. Informative and amusing 😊
Welcome 👍😊
Would this work with the air frier racks
Oven cleaner works. Spray let sit for a hour or two then rinse, and let it dry overnight then put back.
Thank you for this video. I didn't know how to remove the filter. My sister would shame me if she knew.. My stove is fairly new.
Glad I could help!

depends on the weather. But on a sunny day maybe 1 or 2 . you can always flip it half way to get faster results. good luck.
I’m dying laughing. This dude is Funny AF
Great video .thankyou very useful tip😂❤

Just dip a rag in turpentine & wipe it twice. It will be clean in a jiffy. Clean the hood also in the same way. Tried this. Thanks
Can I clean the fabric piece too?

Where did you dump the gunky water?
