Many commercial grease-cutting sprays and degreasers require extensive scrubbing and contain harsh chemicals. Nana’s method is not only easier but also gentler on both your hands and the environment. You avoid chemical fumes and residues, making the process safer and more pleasant.
Bonus Tips
Regular Maintenance: Clean your filter every 2-3 months to prevent excessive grease buildup. Regular cleaning makes the task quicker and easier.
Alternative Solutions: If baking soda isn’t available, white vinegar can also be used as a natural degreaser. Add about 1 cup of vinegar to your boiling water and follow the same steps.
For Extra Stubborn Grease: If your filter is particularly grimy, follow up the soaking with a quick scrub using dish soap and a brush. However, in most cases, the baking soda soak will suffice.
