How To Clean Your Black Range Hood Easily In 5 Steps

Keeping your kitchen range hood clean can be a difficult and messy task! However, with the right tools and techniques, you can easily and quickly restore your black range hood to its original condition. 

Step 1: Prepare the Area

If your black range hood is starting to show signs of grease and grime, it's time to clean it. But before you begin scrubbing, there are a few things you should do to prepare the area.

First, remove everything from the range hood, including any filters or grease-absorbing pads. These can be washed separately in hot soapy water. Then, using a damp cloth, wipe down the entire surface of the range hood to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated. Now it's time to get down to business. Check the manual that came with your range hood to see what cleaning products are recommended. In most cases, a simple mixture of soap and water will suffice.

Step 2: Wiping Away Loose Dirt and Grime

If your black range hood has loose dirt and grime on it, the best way to remove it is to wipe it down with a damp cloth. Use a gentle movement to avoid damaging the range hood's surface. You can proceed to the next step after removing the loose dirt and grime.

Step 3: Create a Cleaning Solution

Most black range hoods are made of enameled steel, which is easier to clean than other metals. You can clean your range hood with a variety of solutions, but we recommend a simple solution of soap and water.

Begin by combining warm water and dish soap in a bowl. Apply the solution to your range hood with a soft cloth or sponge, taking care not to scrub too hard and damage the finish. Rinse the area with clean water and pat it dry with a towel. Repeat until your range hood is clean.

If there are any stubborn spots, mix together two tablespoons of baking soda with a couple of squirts of dish soap to create a gentle cleaning paste. Dip a scrubby sponge into the paste and scrub the appliance until the stains are gone. For tough stains, you may need to spread the paste on the stain with a towel and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes before scrubbing.

Step 4: Scrubbing the Range Hood

The first step is to remove the filters from your range hood. After removing the filters, start scrubbing the range hood with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. If you notice any stubborn dirt or grease buildup, use a mild cleanser or degreaser to help remove it. Before proceeding, thoroughly rinse off the cleaner.

After you've scrubbed the entire range hood, replace the filters and turn on the fan to help it dry. Your black range hood should be spotless now!

Step 5: Completing

The final step is to protect your range hood from future buildup by applying a coat of carnauba wax. This will form a barrier against grease and moisture, making it easier to keep your range hood clean in the future.

Cleaning your black range hood does not have to be a difficult task. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily and quickly clean your range hood with minimal effort. For best results, repeat this process once every month or two to keep it looking new for years to come. You can keep your black range hood looking like new with a few simple steps!
