Hood Filter Aluminum?

Mike,
If you use a higher Ph soap, say around a 12 ph, you will probably get close to, if not the same results, than if you hit them with caustic. It will also be slower to damage the aluminum. It will work a little slower, but results is the goal.

Why waste a pad put them IN the dumpster and clean them there.

FOG Pads are so plentiful just throw a pad down..
 
Haaaaaaa
I made my life sooo much easier when we changed out about 60 aluminum filters from a school district we did to galvanized. They would not go for the stainless but they have held up perfectly for 3 years now.
 
Thats great Advice

If they are aluminum you can soak them for a little while then blast them or just lay them on the ground and ds them both sides.

Don't worry about it eating them too much unless they are REALLY flimsy. Just don't let them soak overnight or you will find an empty tub the next day.

We sold stainless to about 35 restaurants in our first year. It's amazing the time difference when cleaning. And, they last longer than foundation of the best restaurants!
I went to sell another round of restaurants on stainless and my supplier had stopped carrying them. He said the economy was no longer supporting the extra cost...

About the cleaning, as has been said, soak them in a tub or sink with a light caustic for about 5-10 minutes. It is about the only way to get that "snake" of grease from behind the slats. Try going 1/2 cup caustic beads to full basin sink (is that about 8-10gal water?), if the filters don't turn black or much darker, but are coming clean pretty easily, then you've got a pretty good mix. Add or subtract caustic as needed (it might be better to adjust your soak time though), and agitate the filters in the solution.
