Do you know how to clean the range hood? After cooking, keep the range hood running for 30 seconds to 1 minute to extract the remaining oil smoke and water vapor and unburned carbon monoxide in the air out of the house. While there is still residual heat on the range hood, wipe the surface with a rag to easily wipe off the oil stains on the range hood, and keep it clean and not greasy.
1. Clean the range hood while it is hot after each use
Persisting in daily range hood cleaning can save a lot of trouble during the year-end cleaning. After cooking, let the range hood run for 30 seconds to 1 minute to extract the remaining oil smoke and water vapor and unburned carbon monoxide in the air out of the house. While there is still residual heat on the range hood, wipe the surface with a rag to easily wipe off the oil stains on the range hood, and keep it clean and not greasy.
2. Anti-oil treatment before using the new range hood
Before using the new range hood you bought, sprinkle a thin layer of soap powder in the two oil storage boxes, and then inject about one-third of water. In this way, the recovered oil will float on the water surface instead of condensing on the wall of the box. When the waste oil is full, pour it out and do the same.
How to prevent oil from the body of the range hood? Before using it, we can use a slightly damp rag dipped in dishwashing detergent, do not add water, wipe the fuselage, and wipe the fan blades as much as possible. After it dries naturally, the detergent coating to prevent oil smoke from sticking is ready. After a period of time, if the fuselage feels sticky, it is time to clean the fuselage. Since the oil stains and the fuselage have been "protected by a coating". Therefore, use 80℃ hot water to directly clean the fuselage, and the oil stains will be washed off first. After the cleaning work is completed, don't forget to apply detergent on the fuselage again. Apply it a little thicker, and control the humidity to not drip. Then cover the switch with plastic wrap.
3. Cleaning of the oil net and oil storage box
The oil net can be slowly removed with a screwdriver, sprayed with oil smoke cleaner and put in a plastic bag, let it stand for 15 minutes, then take it out, and pour 80℃ hot water into the basin and clean it carefully with a rag. If the oil stains on the oil net are very thick, you can also use a thin bamboo piece to gently scrape off some of the oil stains before cleaning. Put a layer of plastic wrap inside the oil storage box, with part of the plastic wrap extending outside the oil storage box and completely covering the original inner surface of the box, so that the oil smoke is adsorbed on the plastic wrap, and replace it every once in a while. Or you can use a used plastic pudding cup or paper cup to replace the original oil storage box. As long as you replace it regularly, you can save the trouble of cleaning it, which is not easy to clean.
