The only way to deal with the smells and steam that inevitably accompany every cooking process is to use a kitchen hood.
The only problem is that over time it becomes coated with grease.
Not only does the equipment look extremely unsightly under a layer of dirt, it also turns into a real breeding ground for bacteria and can emit a disgusting “smell”.
Of course, you can deal with this problem using aggressive chemicals.
But they have a serious drawback: there is always a risk of damaging the surface being cleaned.
If you're looking for a safer, more eco-friendly way to clean grease from your kitchen hood, try using a regular tea bag.
The whole secret is in the tannin that is part of it. It acts on the fat in such a way that it begins to easily come off the surface.
How to use a tea bag
You will need to soak the used tea bag in hot water. Let it sit in this "bath" for a few minutes.
After this, the bag should be squeezed to get rid of the excess liquid that has accumulated inside.
After this, you can use a tea bag to wipe the surface of the hood that needs cleaning.
If the need arises, repeat the above steps again.
