THE secret to getting your greasy kitchen extractor fan filters sparkling clean costs just 34p, according to cleaning fanatics.
One frustrated woman took to the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook to ask for help after struggling to come up with a way to clean the filters.
“Can any of you lovely people help me with the best way to clean these filters of the extractor fan?” she asked.
And despite there being millions of cleaning products on the market, all boasting various properties, the most popular suggestion was to use washing up liquid and warm water.
“I have the same ones,” one person wrote. “I soak in hot water and Fairy liquid in the sink and use a bottle brush to gently clean them.”
And another agreed, writing: “Hot soapy water, Fairy liquid. Did mine last week and they came up like new.”
Others suggested leaving the filters for some time in the water before trying to get the grease off.
“I used to soak them in hot soapy water in the bath for a good two hours,” someone else commented.
“Agitate the water every now and then, then rinse with the shower.”
If the grease still stubbornly refuses to disappear, then a dishwasher is the last resort, the lady added.
“Just hot soapy water is all you need!” another woman wrote, while someone else commented: “I literally did mine today funnily enough!
“Soaked in warm water with Fairy liquid left them half an hour then just wiped them.”
And given that you can get washing up liquid for around 33p a bottle, this really is a budget-friendly cleaning hack.
