warning - Thrilling content: best kitchen degreaser?

[TheTurnOfTheScrew]

I cleaned my extractor fan last night after frying chicken. At least, I tried. This morning it's still sticky .
Is there some kind of miracle product/cloth/technique that I can buy or use to sort it out properly?

Elbow grease...
The best thing I’ve ever used.
Spray on and leave for a few minutes..

Elbow grease! B&M sell it for 80p.

Another vote for Elbow Grease. Amazing stuff

I'm glad you asked this. I shall look out for some. Cillit Bang has been recommended on here as well, and it works well.

thank you both - although are you sure sending me off to ask for elbow grease is not like sending the apprentice off to buy striped paint ? B&M is a long drive but will see if Tesco/Asda/Home Bargains has it.

HG filter degreaser. Put the filters in a tray or the bath, add the product and dilute with hot water. Leave. Rinse off with shower head. You can see the grease coming off. Fab stuff.

Steam cleaner.

Fairy power spray is brilliant.

thanks again all. i shall google stockists - extra points for anything I can lay my hands on today as i'm off work.

Soda crystals are brilliant for this.

I put the filter in the dishwasher.

Sugar soap. Much better than Elbow Grease ime. Buy the crystals from an ironmongers or DIY shop and make up with water in a spray bottle. Lasts for ages.

White spirit.

Just be aware that Elbow Grease is so strong it cleaned the temperature numbers off my oven! I think any of those extra strong cleaners would do the same so keep them away from anything printed on your extractor!
