Range hood is one of the essential household appliances in the kitchen, which is mainly used to absorb and eliminate fumes, smoke and odors generated during cooking, and keep the kitchen air fresh.

It is very important to clean the hood regularly.
Next, I will give you a detailed introduction to how to clean a range hood, I hope it will help you.
1.Prepare cleaning tools and materials: Cleaning a range hood requires some basic tools and materials, including rubber gloves, detergent, dishwashing brushes, towels, old toothbrushes, bleaching powder or baking soda, etc.
