To clean the filter of the Metal Protective Vent, follow the steps below:
1. Prepare tools and materials
Prepare a soft brush, neutral detergent, a clean rag, a bucket, and tweezers (if necessary).
2. Remove the filter
Carefully remove the filter from the Metal Protective Vent. Be careful not to pull too hard during operation to avoid damaging the filter or the connecting parts of the vent. If the filter has fixing screws or buckles, use the corresponding tools to unscrew or open it.
Preliminary cleaning: Use a soft brush to gently brush away the dust and larger impurities on the filter. You can place the filter in an open space outdoors or above a trash can to prevent dust from flying into the room. For some stubborn dust clumps, you can carefully remove them with tweezers.
3. Soaking and cleaning
Add an appropriate amount of clean water to a bucket, drop a few drops of neutral detergent, and stir evenly. Soak the filter in the solution for about 15-20 minutes to allow the detergent to fully decompose the dust and oil. If there is a lot of oil on the filter, increase the amount of detergent and soaking time appropriately.
4. Rinse the filter
After soaking, rinse the filter with clean water. You can place the filter under the faucet and rinse it with running water, or use a spray bottle to spray the filter to ensure that the detergent residue and dust on the filter are thoroughly rinsed. When rinsing, pay attention to rinsing all parts of the filter, including the edges and corners of the filter.
5. Dry the filter
Place the rinsed filter in a well-ventilated place to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight. You can also use a clean rag to gently absorb the moisture on the filter to speed up the drying process. Be careful not to twist the filter with your hands to avoid damaging the filter structure.
6. Install the filter
After the filter is completely dry, install it back to the Metal Protective Vent in the correct direction and position, making sure the filter is firmly installed without gaps or looseness. If the filter has fixing screws or buckles, tighten or buckle them.
