- 1). Turn the power off to all appliances you will be cleaning above by flipping the breaker that controls them. Unplug the appliances and move them out of the way.
- 2). Cut out sheets of plastic to cover all appliances in the immediate vicinity.
- 3). Disassemble the parts inside the hood vent. You should be able to easily remove the guards on the inside of the hood vent. Place them in a deep sink full of super hot, soapy water. If the hood vent has an exhaust fan remove the blades and allow them to soak in hot soapy water as well. If any parts require tools to be removed, they are probably not intended to come out for cleaning, so clean them in place.
- 4). Spray all surfaces inside the hood vent with hot water. Pour dish detergent onto a scrubbing pad and scrub the inside of the vent. Keep a bucket of hot, soapy water nearby to rinse out your scrubbing pads.
- 5). Rinse the inside of the hood vent. Be especially careful walking on the wet, greasy floor. Scrub with dish detergent and rinse again a couple of times. Get as much of the grease buildup off as you can.
- 6). Use a clean scrub pad to apply the grill cleaner and degreaser and begin scrubbing again. Scrub until all grease buildup has been removed and then rinse a last time.
- 7). Scrub the parts of the hood vent sitting in the now-cooled water. Empty the water several times and scrub the parts over and over again with dish detergent until all greasy buildup has been removed. Rinse and place back into the hood vent.
- 8). Allow the hood vent and parts to drip dry as you squeegee the water and greasy debris toward the water drains in the floor. Sweep up any debris that will not fit through the drains.
- 9). Mop up the remainder of water and uncover the appliances and put them back into place. The hood vent will continue to drip overnight, so leave the breakers off.
