Tried cleaning the hood vents with a pressure washer and it went sideways

We were closing for a day for a deep clean, and I thought using a small electric pressure washer on the grease filters would save time. It just forced grease and grime deeper into the mesh and created a bigger mess to scrub out by hand. Anyone have a better method for those really caked-on filters?

Yeah, that high pressure just LODGES it in there. Soak them in a degreaser bath overnight first, then a gentle hose rinse works way better.

Totally agree on the degreaser soak. That high pressure just packs the grime deeper into the pores. A soft brush after the soak gets the last bits off without the mess.

Ugh, been there, made that exact same mistake last month.
