Hi all,
I had a problem of daily grease dropping from hood so decided to clean the baffles. I let it soak in mix of dawn/vinegar/water for a long time. Also put boiling water on them. Scrubbed with a kitchen scrub and toothbrush. Of course couldn't get 100% of gunk out but I thought it was let's say 80%+ there. But I see grease is again starting to forms drops that will fall and mess up stove top.
What is recommended?

Thank you!

Did you clean the hood itself while baffles were out?

Did you clean the inside of the duct? How about the inside of the filters? They come apart and we run ours thru the dishwasher(weekly). If you had that much build up, you have not been cleaning daily. We clean the duct monthly. And we are not in a restaurant. This is our home. But we have a commercial Ilve 16 eye range and a large hood

I checked it out and was surprised by how clean it was inside. Just for good measure I just cleaned the internal edges, that could use a little more wiping.

Thanks

This type of baffles can't be opened up.

You may have to have them steam cleaned.
