Step 2: Preparing the Cleaning Solution:

At first, they would pour boiling water in a sink, filling it. In case there is no sink available, they would use a large pot or a heatproof baking dish made of glass. Now they would add a couple of tablespoons of the dishwashing liquid that has a degreaser, into that boiling water. Then they would add one-half cup of baking soda as well, and then stir the solution properly.  

Step 3: Soaking the Filter:

Now they would submerge the entire filter into that solution and leave it like that for at least 30 minutes or so, to let it soak properly. They generally do not scrub but let the cleaning agents present in the warm water do all the heavy lifting. Once done, they would remove the chimney before the water completely cools down. If the water cools down with the filter still in it, the grease will again settle on the surface, defeating the very purpose of all these efforts.

Step 4: Scrubbing the Filter and rinsing it

Now, after the filter is taken out of the water, they would scrub it thoroughly for removing any grease or foodstuff that may still be clinging to the surface. Once done, they will rinse the entire filter once again thoroughly with fresh hot water and then dry it completely before putting it back on the range hood.
