You’re wrong to think range hoods are made only from stainless steel. In a world where anything is possible, copper range hoods are also available for sale. Copper range hoods have been popular now for decades, yet there are a few misconceptions. Here’s what you have to know before shopping for a copper vent hood.
Some people think copper range hoods look antiquated and their hand-hammered look makes some believe they are going out of style. Contrary to popular belief, copper range hoods are still found in homes across America. With warn tones formed by a patina process, their warm tones lend elegance to any kitchen.
Custom copper stove hoods do require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance and prevent oxidation, but they are not an excessively high-maintenance appliance.
Copper is a durable material that withstands everyday wear and tear. Traditional range hoods with a chemical patina are resistant to scratching and can handle the heat and moisture common in a kitchen environment.
Copper is traditionally more expensive than steel, but this does not mean that copper is excessively expensive. And even if they do cost more, copper’s longevity and timeless appeal makes it a worthwhile investment.
Copper is not a new material, though it is going through a resurgence in popularity. Copper was extremely popular twenty years ago, and then custom-made hoods made of steel became increasingly popular. At the moment, we are seeing are return to the copper aesthetic. One of the reasons for its returning popularity has to do with durability and cost.
Grease is the main enemy of your copper stove hood. Fortunately, you don’t need any special cleaners to remove grease. Classic dish soap and a soft cloth will do. Simply fill a bucket or bowl with warm water, add some dish soap, stir, and start cleaning. Use circular motions and be gentle. Ideally, you should also use a dry soft cloth to clear away moisture. This will prevent streaks and stains from appearing.
Now, cleaning a copper kitchen hood is different from preventing the unpleasant green effect.
Once it’s clean and dry, you’ll need to use copper polish to protect it. Get a bit of polish on a flannel cloth and cover the whole surface with circular moves. Do it until the area is covered in a thin layer, without any circular marks on it.
There are more options out there, such as polish sprays too. Cover the whole surface and rub it with a clean flannel cloth in the same manner.
A copper kitchen hood does not need to be cleaned after each use, but only on occasion. It depends on how much and often you cook. For some owners of copper range hoods, polishing two or three times per month is more than enough. For most users, however, once a month is more than enough.
