I've tried lots of different cleaning methods for my filters (not with much success), but never Borax. Happy to say it worked and my old filters look a lot better than they did. I'm so happy NOT to have to buy after-market expensive replacement filters now!

Raised 4 children with cotton diapers washed in Borax. My children NEVER tried to eat it. Borax, like ANY OTHER cleaner/soap, should be used with care. I used Borax when out town was attacked w/fleas. Everyone had them, even if you didn't have animale. Borax is a great cleaner!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06576699550239697247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-8857820660490968902018-07-08T17:35:26.197-07:002018-07-08T17:35:26.197-07:00Thank you for this!!!!!

Calgon is a SUPERB grease remover. Let your filters sit for 20 minutes and then wipe and rinse - no more grease. This same mixture is great for cleaning greasy cabinet doors and stove hoods. Just don't make the water quite so hot - you don't want to burn your hands. It's wonderful for getting off all that grease and dust that tends to build up near the top of cabinet doors. And you don't need gloves because it's all gentle on your hands!Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039454283211801650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-78707618364593761192017-04-16T10:44:59.721-07:002017-04-16T10:44:59.721-07:00Awesome with hot water works like magic let it soa...Awesome with hot water works like magic let it soak Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-52916249533778371142017-04-13T17:13:12.005-07:002017-04-13T17:13:12.005-07:00Yeah she won't post this but thought people ne...Yeah she won't post this but thought people needed to knowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-53108399721074135292017-04-13T17:12:09.893-07:002017-04-13T17:12:09.893-07:00This sounds really great, but i don't think i ...This sounds really great, but i don't think i am gonna kill all the good bacteria in my sceptic tank for a stove filter besides i also save bacon grease for my cornbread.

I can't believe I didn't even know this was something that needed to be done. I'm tall so the hood vent filters (there are two in my hood) are not in my line of sight. I followed your steps using Borax and I feel so accomplished! It's funny how something so simple makes me feel like the kitchen is a lot cleaner. Who knew?!

I had limited cleaners available to me. I chose to use a splash of pine sol, and a little dawn and let it sit in very hot water overnight. It definitely softened up the grease however, did not completely remove it. I then squirted just a little bit of liquid dishwasher detergent over them in fresh hot water and minutes later, like brand new! All grease removed. I could not believe it but will definitely remember this in the future! Not one speck of grease left and they were heavily polluted with grease!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679376249136878227.post-24476522318593937842016-10-02T01:15:13.340-07:002016-10-02T01:15:13.340-07:00A tip:
