A TikTok user has dropped a hack bombshell for tackling a grimy part of your kitchen you’ve probably never even thought to clean.
Hidden in plain sight, the extractor hood filter – which sits above most stoves – is a magnet for grease and grime. Its job is to suck up all the smoke and steam from your cooking, but over time it gets jam-packed with filth, making it less effective.
But fear not, AndreLifeHack has got your back with a simple trick that’s gone viral on TikTok. In his video, he shows how you can pop the hood down and douse it with boiling water in the sink, watching as the dirt practically melts away with no scrubbing or harsh chemicals needed!

Just let it dry off and pop it back in place, and you’re good to go. The video has already racked up a whopping 10.4million views in a week, with scores left buzzing about the trick.
Some savvy viewers suggested that chucking it in the dishwasher works a treat too, but for those without one, this tip is a godsend. “Damn, gonna give this a try tomorrow,” one user commented, while another exclaimed, “Wow I am trying this.”
A third asked: “I rent and mine looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in 20 years – can I buy a new one or should I try this?” And a fourth added: “One problem solved!”
