My range hood is so greasy that I had a hard time changing the
fluorescent tube recently.
I want to buy a steam cleaner for various household uses, including
the range hood.
Question: Would the steam damage the fluorescent tube? IOW, should I
remove
it (pain in the ***) before steam cleaning the hood?

TIA

Heating glass unevenly can damage it and hitting it with steam in one spot
could break it. . I'd remove the tube and cover the sockets well too.
