no more fried anything

So I have been trying to clean the filter that collects grease above the stove.
When it starts to smell like steak all on its own, it's time.
I used regular liquid detergent, the kind you use in a washing machine, and super hot water.

There was a pleasant smell of artificial sea breeze for a second around the stove.
Then the bacon fat took over.
I've cleaned everything except the light bulb.

Update: Attempted to clean the light bulb.
Apparently glass and fat can chemically alter each other.
This new, fused, surface is now clean.
Smell still there.
