Kitchen hood: grease disappears in 5 minutes, without any scrubbing. Here's how.

We've all been there: we glance up at the extractor hood and… surprise, a thin, sticky film has magically appeared. Not very attractive, and certainly not very effective at keeping the kitchen fresh. But here's the good news: there's a quick, almost unbelievable method for getting your hood spotless again. A trick so simple you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. And no, it's not what you think…
Why does the hood get so dirty so quickly?

Between slow-cooked meals, quick cooking, and everyday steam, the range hood takes the brunt of the load. As a result, it accumulates a layer of residue that sticks everywhere, from the metal casing to the filter. We often think that specialized products or a major cleaning session are necessary, but that's not always the case. The real challenge? Finding a quick, gentle, and effective solution… and that's exactly what the following tip offers.

The natural trick that melts fat 

Before reaching for gloves, brushes, or harsh cleaners, a quick trip to your kitchen is all it takes. Three everyday ingredients can transform your cleaning session into a surprisingly simple experience: a little salt, white vinegar, and hot water. A gentle combination that works in just minutes.

The principle is clear: the solution is warm, slightly abrasive, but gentle on surfaces. In addition to being economical, it's an option that avoids harsh chemicals and helps maintain a pleasant indoor environment.

How to prepare this quick solution:
Here's the simplified version, as easy as a quick recipe: 

Pour two tablespoons of salt into a deep bowl.
Add a generous amount of white vinegar.
Top it off with hot water.
Mix until you have a smooth solution.
Then, soak a cloth or sponge in the solution and wipe down the cooker hood surfaces. What's most surprising? How the grease comes off almost instantly, as if the surface is "breathing" again. A simple trick that makes all the difference, especially when you're short on time.

This simple action allows for quick and effortless hood cleaning.

The filter: the area we forget (but which changes everything)

People often think the hood is the most important part… but in reality, it's the filter that traps the most residue. If it gets too clogged, the hood loses efficiency and becomes noisier. Fortunately, the same homemade solution works perfectly for this essential component.

Here's how to proceed: 

Carefully unclip the filter.
Place it in a sink or basin.
Cover it with the warm salt and vinegar solution.
Let it sit for about five minutes.
Rinse with warm water.
The result is amazing: a visibly cleaner filter that regains its full functionality effortlessly.

The finishing touches for a like-new cooker hood
: To complete the look, wipe the hood with a clean, dry cloth to restore the shine to the metal. This final step prevents streaks and leaves a crisp, almost factory-fresh finish. By repeating this routine regularly, your cooker hood will remain efficient, quiet, and ready for all your cooking needs.
A well-maintained home naturally contributes to a spotless kitchen every day.
