How often should you clean a range hood filter?

Every month.

How to do it

Pop the metal mesh filter out and soak it in hot water with dish soap and baking soda, then rinse and dry.

Why it matters

Grease in the filter is a fire risk and stops the fan clearing smoke.

Recommended interval: every month, per Broan-NuTone.

General guidance for a typical home; the manufacturer's instructions come first.

Get reminded when it is due

Paper works until it goes on the fridge and stays there. The Househand app keeps the same checklist and tells you when each job comes due, based on when you last did it.

  • A reminder when a job is due, not on a fixed date
  • A history of what you did and when
  • The same schedule as this site, optional tasks and all

The app is not in the stores yet. Until it is, track your house in the browser: same schedule, same rules.
