Answer 1

Hi,use ,"Easy Off Oven Cleaner". I use the fume free (blue can). Then let set and rinse off. Couldn't be easier! Byee

Answer 2

you should soak them in something big enough with really hot water some kind of degreaser.  Dish soap will work ok if thats all you have.  Then take them outside and hose them off.  Its even better if you have a power sprayer for this.  If their aluminum dont use bleach cleaners.  This is how you clean filters in a big restaurant kitchen though,  If these are in your home then I there is prob a different way.

Answer 3

I use Mean Green.  Soak straight in the product for a day or two and then put in dishwasher to clean all the way through.

Answer 4

I run mine through the dishwasher...

Answer 5

I use Greased Lightning on the air filters for my range vent fan. Once a week I take them out, lay them in the sink and thoroughly spray them top and bottom with with the product.  Let them sit for about 10 minutes then use a hand/nail brush to vigorously clean them, rinse with very hot water. ( If they are really dirty your may have to repeat a couple of times. )  Let dry well before reinstalling them. Doing them weekly will help to avoid grease build up in the future.  

Answer 6

If your sink is big enough soak them in really hot water with some dishwash liquiq and laundry soda.  Scrub wth a brush/cloth and then rinse in hot water.
