With a few common household products and about an hour, you can clean stainless steel and aluminium mesh filters at home and have them working like new.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>TL;DR<\/strong> Mesh rangehood filters (stainless steel or aluminium) should be cleaned every 1\u20133 months. Remove the filter, soak it in boiling water with dish soap and \u00bc cup baking soda for 20\u201360 minutes, scrub with a non-abrasive brush, optionally run through the dishwasher on the pots setting, then air dry completely before reinstalling.

There are generally two types of filters: charcoal and mesh rangehood filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Charcoal Filter<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Mesh Filter<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Used in<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ductless rangehoods<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Ducted rangehoods<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Material<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Activated carbon<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Stainless steel or aluminium<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Filters and recirculates air back into the kitchen<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Traps grease, smoke and particles, vents air outside<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Can be cleaned?<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">No<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Maintenance<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Replace every 3\u20136 months<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Clean every 1\u20133 months<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:11px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your rangehood vents air back into the kitchen rather than outside through a duct, you have a charcoal filter. If it connects to external ductwork, you have a mesh filter. The cleaning steps below apply to stainless steel and aluminium mesh filters only. Mesh rangehood filters are sometimes called kitchen exhaust filters or kitchen extraction filters \u2014 they are the same thing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-stove\/\">How to Clean a Stainless Steel Stove<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How_to_clean_rangehood_filters\">How to Clean Rangehood Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s exactly how to clean rangehood filters at home, step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\">\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Boiling water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Large pot or plugged sink<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> 2\u20133 tablespoons dish soap or castile soap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> \u00bc cup baking soda<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Non-abrasive brush<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Dry cloth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-square-o\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Gloves (if using ammonia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\"><\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830001\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 1: Remove the range hood filter<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Slide, pop, or unscrew the filter from your rangehood \u2014 the method depends on your model, so check the manual if it isn&#8217;t obvious. Handle it carefully, as it will likely be coated in grease. It&#8217;s important to consult the rangehood manual to determine the best way to remove it for optimal rangehood filter cleaning.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830002\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 2: Prepare the soaking solution and submerge the filter<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Boil water using a kettle or stovetop pot. Pour it into a large pot or plugged sink, then add a generous amount of liquid dish soap and \u00bc cup of baking soda. You can also use water and vinegar solutions, as well as a water and ammonia solution (do not mix ammonia and bleach \u2014 see our guide to cleaning chemicals you should not mix). With ammonia, you mustn&#8217;t physically touch this detergent, even when mixed with water as described in the steps that follow. Using gloves is one way of preventing harm to your skin.

This gives the heat and detergents time to break down and loosen the grease before scrubbing.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830004\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 4: Scrub the filter<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Once the water has cooled to lukewarm, scrub the filter thoroughly with a non-abrasive brush until grease, oil, and food particles come free. For a deeper clean, place the filter in the dishwasher on the pots and pans setting.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1788349830005\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Step 5: Dry completely and reinstall<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Air dry the filter fully before putting it back, or use a dry cloth to speed up the process. The filter must be completely dry before reinstalling to avoid electrical hazards. Once dry, follow your rangehood manufacturer&#8217;s instructions to click or slide it back into place.<\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-oven-without-scrubbing\/\">Different Ways to Clean Your Oven Without Scrubbing<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1788349831001\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you clean rangehood filters in the dishwasher?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, but only stainless steel and aluminium mesh filters.
