Kitchen Extractor Fan

[NISAR1]

I have a kitchen fume hood which has a reusable mesh filter. This is now clogged up with grease and has 7 layers of mesh I am not going to attempt to dismantle it as it will be big problem putting it back together. So far I have used the following attempt to get rid of this grease.

1) Cillit Bang
2) Pressure washer
3) Grease lighting (did a good job but still a lot left)
4) Boiling hot water
5) fairy liquid soaked over night

Any more ideas?

no psybbs its a Kitchen Extractor Fan!
to clean it properly you will have to dismantle it ours just clips in and out

Bernie, I think it's a hood with filters that are removable. I ordered spares on line.

Do you know anybody with a dishwasher?

Hand-held steam cleaner would probably do it.

get the Oven Pride oven cleaner and put the whole mesh section into the bag provided for oven racks. Leave overnight and then rinse off. Should come out like new.

Have used a steam cleaner too, a mate of mine has just told me to use a car engine degreaser spray can be bought at any car shop.

Thanks everyone with all your suggestions more than enough for me to have a look at.

I used to love tractors, now I'm not so keen.

I'm now an Ex-tractor fan!!

Whatever works it sounds like an incredibly poor design. I thought most cooker hoods just used replaceable fibre filters.

been there tried that steam cleaner alone wont do it.

I think it is called 'Oven Pride' where you usually soak your oven shelf racks for a period of time and it gets all the black off. Wilkinson do their own brand version.
You put whatever in the plastic bag add the fluid and shake it periodically until all the grease and grunge is removed. I usually leave mine overnight works a treat.
