How to Clean a Stove Fan With CLR

CLR is a Jelmar product used to clean various areas in the household where there is a buildup of mineral and rust deposits. The name itself defines the types of mineral deposits it was designed to remove including calcium, lime and rust. CLR can be used to clean stove fans and many other areas in the kitchen, but use the product with caution because it can also damage surfaces if the product is on a surface for too long.
