When's the last time you looked under your rangehood?
Is it dripping in yellowish brown gunk, with dustballs and animal fur stuck to it?
Maybe you've looked under there before and decided that you just didn't have time to deal with it. You're right in thinking that its going to take some tiem, but it doesn't have to be all at once. I like to use what I call - the wear away principle.
Hey, it took it a long time to get that way, didn't it?
First, take the filter out and put it in a sink of hot water, and Dawn dishwashing soap. Let it soak.
Take the lightbulb out. You may want to put a new one in later, just for cleanliness.
Generously spray with 409 Kitchen cleaner. Wipe away drips on the stove and counter top, but do not touch the rangehood for 10 minutes. Let the cleaner work. Maybe you can work on the filter while you wait. You can buy a replacement filter, so don't stress too much about it.
After a few minutes, take a srubby sponge and gently start working away at the grime. You don't want to sbrub hard and leave a bunch of scratch marks. Work at it for a few minutes, wipe it down, and come back tomorrow and do a few more minutes.
Just a few minutes at a time, and eventually it will be clean.
