Default cleaning stove extractor fan hood

When needs must I remove my extractor fan front and replace the filter

before attaching the new filter with masking tape.

But what I want to know is, how do I get rid of the sticky stuff on the
front of the extractor hood? This is in a line with my kitchen cupboards
which are also slightly sticky. I've tried everything, like borax,
ammonia, and soda, but nothing cuts the sticky grease on the extractor
hood. I've even tried sticky stuff remover, but there's not enough in a
small bottle to use on an approx. 2' x 2' surface.

Has anyone ever discovered how to get rid of sticky old grease on a
kitchen cupboard-type front? Or, come to that, on the front of a gas
stove? Nothing seems to shift it.

I can take the extractor hood off, but I still can't clean it.

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Thank you for the link, I've filed it. It's a bit expensive, but if nothing
else works, I'll go there. Good luck with your thyroid website, it's useful
to hear about.
