Spray on overnight for better results, or you can just do 10 minutes if you want and then wash them out with hot water. Comes right out and looks brand new.\u201d<\/p>\n Posting before and after pictures, Sara O\u2019Brian commented: \u201cI used Elbow Grease and it was amazing. This was a post-tenant house clean and I would have been lost without it.<\/p>\n \u201cI sprayed them, left them for 10 minutes and then just used a dish brush on them in hot water. But honestly, I could just wipe the grease away with my finger this is the best thing I have used in ages.<\/p>\n \u201cIt worked a treat on the extractor hood and the rest of the kitchen. I\u2019ve stocked up.\u201d<\/p>\n Anna Jones commented: \u201cI spray mine with Elbow Grease. Leave to soak for a good five to 10 minutes and the grease just melts off. Then put in a bowl of hot soapy water and leave for a good hour or so and they come up sparkling.\u201d<\/p>\n Gaynor Denny added: \u201cElbow grease spray, leave for half an hour and rinse with hot water – amazing results.\u201d<\/p>\n Elbow grease typically retails for just over \u00a31 in most supermarkets, however, households can pick this spray up at Amazon for 40p right now.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/51\/590x\/secondary\/why-extractor-fans-get-greasy-4968991.jpg?r=1695216026638\")
