The Fastest Trick to Clean Your Stove and Hob and Make It Look Brand New ✨

Want your stove or hob to look shiny, spotless and almost brand new without spending hours scrubbing? This simple homemade cleaning trick helps remove stubborn grease, burnt-on food and sticky stains.

🧽 The magic homemade cleaning recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons baking soda

• 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid

• 2 tablespoons warm water

• 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional, used separately)

• 1 soft sponge or microfiber cloth

• 1 old toothbrush for corners

Step-by-step cleaning method

Step 1: Remove the removable parts

Switch off the stove and let it cool completely. Remove grates, burner caps and knobs if they are designed to come off.

Step 2: Make the cleaning paste

Mix baking soda, dish soap and warm water until you get a smooth paste.

Step 3: Apply the mixture

Spread the paste over greasy areas and burnt food marks. Leave for 5–10 minutes.

Step 4: Gently scrub

Use a soft sponge in circular motions. Use an old toothbrush for edges and corners. Avoid abrasive pads.

Step 5: Wipe away the dirt

Use a clean, damp microfiber cloth to remove all the paste and grease residue.

Step 6: Make it shine

Dry and polish with a clean microfiber cloth. This removes water marks and leaves a beautiful finish.

How to clean the different types of hobs

1. Glass or ceramic hob

Use a soft cloth and a suitable hob cleaner. For stubborn burnt-on marks, use a scraper specifically designed for ceramic hobs, following its instructions.

2. Stainless steel hob

Clean with warm soapy water and wipe in the direction of the grain. Dry immediately to prevent water marks.

3. Gas burners and grates

Soak removable parts in warm soapy water, scrub gently and dry completely before putting them back. Keep burner openings clear.

5 secrets to keep your stove looking brand new

1. Wipe spills immediately after the hob has cooled.

2. Clean grease after every few cooking sessions.

3. Never use steel wool on glass or stainless steel.

4. Avoid pouring water directly into burner openings.

5. Always dry the surface after cleaning.

Important safety tip

Never mix vinegar with bleach or other cleaning chemicals. Don’t use vinegar on natural stone surfaces or manufacturer-sensitive finishes. Always check your stove’s cleaning instructions.
