You look up. That once-shiny kitchen hood is now a museum of last month’s sautéed dinners—a greasy, sticky film has settled over everything. The thought of scrubbing it down feels like a chore you’d rather put off forever. But what if you could make that grease disappear in less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee? Without harsh chemicals or a single moment of elbow grease? The secret isn’t a miracle product. It’s a simple, three-ingredient solution you already own.
Why Your Hood Gets Grimy (And Why Harsh Cleaners Aren’t the Answer)
Your range hood works hard. It captures steam, vaporized oils, and microscopic food particles from every simmer, fry, and roast. Over time, these cool and condense into that tenacious layer of grime. Most people reach for heavy-duty degreasers, but these often require scrubbing, come with potent fumes, and can damage finishes. The gentler, smarter solution? Harness a simple chemical reaction using heat, acidity, and a mild abrasive.
The Magic Trio: Salt, Vinegar & Hot Water
This method works because it attacks grease on all fronts:
-
Hot Water: Melts and liquefies the grease.
-
White Vinegar: Cuts through the grease with its acidity and helps dissolve mineral deposits.
-
Salt: Acts as a gentle, natural abrasive to help lift the grease without scratching.
The 5-Minute, No-Scrub Method:
-
Make the Solution: In a heat-safe bowl or your sink, combine:
-
2 tablespoons of salt (table salt or coarse kosher salt)
-
1 cup of white vinegar
-
1 cup of very hot water (just off the boil is perfect)
Stir until most of the salt dissolves.continued on next pageFor Complete Cooking STEPS Please Head On Over To Next Page Or Open button (>) and don’t forget to SHARE with your Facebook friends.
