Proper care will help your copper or stainless steel range hood stay in great condition for years. This guide covers simple, effective ways to maintain your metal range hood.
Care & Maintenance for Copper Range Hood
Each of our copper range hood is handcrafted from heavy 16-gauge copper and finished with a clear protective coating.
Everyday Cleaning: Wash the surface with warm water and a gentle, non-acidic soap using a soft cotton cloth. Choose mild, pH-neutral products rather than strong dish soaps or abrasive solutions.
Occasional Deep Cleaning: For disinfecting or removing buildup, use a diluted, non-corrosive household cleaner. Always avoid anything that scratches.
After Daily Use: Wipe the copper dry with a soft towel after each use. This simple habit helps prevent spotting or streaks.
Protective Waxing: Apply a thin coat of natural beeswax or similar wax every 3–6 months, depending on how often the product is used. Buff gently with a clean, non-abrasive cloth for a polished finish.
Do Not: Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use ammonia-based cleaners or abrasives, as these can damage the protective lacquer and dull the finish over time.
Care & Maintenance for Stainless Steel Range Hood
Stainless steel kitchen hoods are durable and easy to maintain. Here’s how to keep them looking their best:
Regular Cleaning
-Dusting: Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust, following the grain of the steel.
-Cleaning: Use warm water and mild soap to clean the surface. Apply with a soft cloth to remove grease and grime.
-Drying: Dry the hood with a clean cloth to avoid water spots and streaks.
Grease and Oil Removal
-Grease: Use a stainless steel cleaner or degreaser to remove grease buildup. Apply it with a soft cloth and wipe with the grain of the steel.
-Stains: For tough stains, use a dedicated cleaner safe for stainless steel, followed by a rinse and dry.
