Introduction:
A clean hob is essential for both cooking efficiency and maintaining a tidy kitchen. However, the combination of food spills, grease splatters, and everyday use can leave your stovetop looking grimy and dirty. Cleaning your hob doesn’t need to be a daunting task, though. With a few simple steps, you can remove dirt, grease, and stubborn stains from your hob in just minutes. Whether you have a gas, electric, or induction stovetop, these methods work for all types of hobs, leaving them sparkling clean and ready for your next cooking session.
Ingredients:
Baking soda
Vinegar (white or apple cider vinegar)
Dish soap (preferably grease-fighting)
Microfiber cloth or sponge
Paper towels
A small bowl or dish
A plastic scraper (optional)
Instructions:
Turn Off the Hob and Let It Cool: Before you begin cleaning, always ensure your hob is turned off and completely cool. Safety should always come first, so give the stovetop some time to cool down, especially if it’s gas or electric.
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup of baking soda with a few tablespoons of water to form a thick paste. Alternatively, if you want a natural degreaser, mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Vinegar’s natural acidity will help break down grease and grime.
