### 🧽 Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Cooker Hood Filter

#### 1. **Remove the Filter**

Check your hood’s manual if needed. Most filters just slide or pop out easily. Be careful not to bend the mesh.

#### 2. **Boil Water**

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil, or use your sink with hot tap water (boiling is better if grease is thick).

#### 3. **Add Baking Soda & Dish Soap**

Once the water is hot:

* Add **1/4 cup baking soda** (slowly — it will fizz!)
* Add a few good squirts of **grease-fighting dish soap**

You can also add 1/2 cup of **white vinegar** for extra punch.

#### 4. **Soak the Filter**

Submerge the filter in the mixture. Let it soak for **15–30 minutes**, depending on how greasy it is.

If the filter doesn’t fully fit, flip it halfway through soaking.

#### 5. **Scrub Lightly**

Use a toothbrush or soft brush to scrub away any remaining buildup. The grease should come off easily after soaking.

#### 6. **Rinse & Dry**

Rinse the filter thoroughly with warm water. Shake off excess and let it **air dry completely** before putting it back.
