Here is the simplified version, as easy as a quick recipe:
Put two tablespoons of salt in a deep bowl. Add a large amount of white vinegar. Fill the bowl with hot water. Mix to a smooth solution. Then soak a cloth or sponge with the solution and wipe the surfaces of the extractor hood clean. The most surprising thing is how the fat gets off almost immediately, as if the surface breathes again. A simple trick that makes a world of difference, especially when you have little time.
This simple operation makes cleaning the extractor hood quick and effortless.
The filter: the area we forget (but everything changes)
People often think that the extractor hood is the most important part, but in reality it's the filter that captures most of the remains. If it gets too clogged, the hood loses efficiency and makes more noise. Fortunately, the same homemade solution works perfectly for this essential part.
This is how you work:
Carefully unplug the filter. Place it in a sink or teil. Pour a hot salt and vinegar solution over it. Let this move in for about five minutes. Then rinse the filter with warm water. The result is amazing: a visible cleaner filter that functions smoothly again.
The finishing touches for an extractor hood that looks like new: To complete the look, wipe the hood with a clean dry cloth to restore the shine of the metal. This last step prevents stripes and ensures a tight, almost factory new finish. By repeating this routine regularly, your hood remains efficient, quiet and ready for all your cooking needs. A well maintained house naturally contributes to a flawless kitchen, every day.
