Are hood/charcoal filters washable?
Hood/charcoal filters are used in extractor hoods to help absorb the smell when air is circulated.
Charcoal filters help absorb the cooking smells when the air is circulated. They should be washed every 2-3 months and are dishwasher safe, lasting for up to 3 years with proper care when used normally.
These are fitted inside extractor hoods. Vents must be removed before fitting.
