Extractor fans will stay clean and grease-free with 1 cheap bathroom item from Tesco

Extractor fans on cooker hoods are used every day in the kitchen, no matter if you are trying to get rid of the smell after cooking a breakfast fry-up or removing steam from making pasta for dinner. They are designed to clean the air, but they can actually need to be washed regularly, especially in summer, otherwise they can become a major fire risk.

You may not realise the amount of grease vapours absorbed by extractor fans, but over time, the residue can clog the filters. At this time of year, our homes can become really dusty, due to windows being constantly open, and all those dust particles will stick to the greasy buildup inside the device. All that leftover grease can make kitchens smell awful and increase the risk of the fan monitor overheating, which can pose a safety hazard.
