The extractor hood in the kitchen quickly becomes dirty and greasy.
However, it can be easily cleaned with a common household product.
Munich – The extractor hood in the kitchen is an indispensable helper when it comes to keeping the air clean and fresh while cooking.
It absorbs the fumes that are produced during cooking and thus prevents unpleasant odors from spreading in the air.
In addition, water vapor and fat are also drawn out of the air, which further improves the air quality in the kitchen.
However, with long or intensive use, it can happen that components from the vapors are deposited in the extractor hood.
The result: the hood no longer works in the long term or has to be replaced.
It is therefore important to clean the cooker hood regularly to ensure its full functionality.
A suitable household remedy that helps and is usually always available: baking powder.
