very hot water, enough to fully submerge the filter. Add a generous squirt of dish soap and ¼ to ½ cup of baking soda. The baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive agent that helps break down grease without damaging the filter.
Soak: Place your filter into the solution, ensuring it’s completely submerged. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes, though particularly grimy filters may benefit from longer soaking times, even up to a few hours.
Scrub: After soaking, use a soft brush or non-abrasive scrubber to gently clean the filter. Pay special attention to the corners and edges where grease accumulates the most.
