How often should you degrease the range hood filter?
Every 3 months. On a calendar: March, June, September, December.
Why it matters
A grease-saturated filter stops capturing cooking exhaust and becomes a fire risk sitting directly over the burners.
How to do it
Drop the mesh filter into hot water with degreaser or run it through the dishwasher, then dry and reseat it.
Signs you've waited too long
Grease dripping from the hood edge, or a kitchen that stays smoky when you cook.
