Stainless Steel Extractor Hood - Best Cleaning Product?

vicwatson

Obviously it's got grease and dust on it, am looking for the best stuff around to bring it back to new - only 4 years old.

Have tried JIF(CIF) etc but useless, I think I need something industrial or at least something "professional".

Can anyone help me with the best stainless steel cleaner to use on my extractor hood? Any advice appreciated.

TIA

Hi

Presuming you can get the grease etc off and you just want to shine it up,i suggest Stainless steel wipes(most supermarkets),there is also a good polish which is called "Peek" it comes in a toothpaste like tube and can be got from a hardware shop.

It's not that bad with grease per se, but it's something to take the grease off and shine it up is what I'm looking for...

Sugar soap should shift the grease easily enough.

WD40.

Have been using WD40 on ours for 5 years. Still good as new.

Give it a light wiping with a soaked cloth every week or so and the grease won't stick.

I use turpentine, it's fantastic, obviously I leave it to evaporate away before I used the hob, just a little bit on a cloth gets rid of fingerprints and grease.

Before using chemicals or solvents, give baking soda a go.

Damp cloth dipped in baking soda works wonders. It's dirt cheap, non toxic, non scratching and works great.

€1.89 a kilo in JC's supermarket in Swords.

alternatively get some baking soda, mix it in with vinegar a touch of turpentine and a few sprays of WD40,
