In order to thoroughly and efficiently clean the hood in the kitchen, it must first be disassembled. Only when disassembled will it be possible to completely remove dirt, including soot and grease. Disassemble the device in a disconnected state. The most important thing is to remove the grill that covers the air filters, but during general cleaning, you can also dismantle the pipe that is connected to the air duct.
The cleaning procedure is as follows: first, the mesh and filters are washed, and then all internal and external surfaces to which there is free access. All parts are first dried, then put in place and only after that they reconnect the equipment to the network, writes Prelest.com.
How to quickly remove fat on the grid
In most cases, you can do with improvised means - it is on their use that most of the “popular” recipes are based. Here's how to remove greasy deposits on the grill:
Just dunk the net in hot soapy water (it is prepared on the basis of laundry soap or dish detergent). Usually, a solution is used prepared from a detergent with water in a ratio of 1: 4. After soaking, the parts must be doused with boiling water. After that, you can rub with a sponge with detergent, rinse again with water, dry and collect.
Soda helps remove old stains and grease. You will need a large capacity (evaporation) where you can place the contaminated parts completely. Make soda solution so that the liquid foams, and at this time all the details are already “boiled out”. The entire boiling process should be continued for about 30 minutes. After this, the usual washing is sufficient - the grids inside will be clean.
Fat helps to cope and laundry soap... To clean contaminated parts in this way, soaking is needed: the mesh is rubbed well with softened soap and left to soak in hot water. You can clean the soap residues that have not dissolved with a hard scraper-brush - along with them, dirt particles will go away.

Vinegar can also make the hood clean. Only you need to use undiluted acetic acid and work with it, observing all the precautions. All removable parts are watered with vinegar, aged for several minutes, and then rinsed. Be sure to thoroughly wash off the remnants of the acid.
Citric acid or lemon juice also used on the same principle as vinegar. You will need a concentrated solution or undiluted juice - in this case, the cleaning efficiency will be much higher. The principle of operation is the same: active agents are applied, aged, washed off with water. Acids perfectly dissolve fat, but if the contamination is very strong, then it is better to repeat the operation several times in a row.
