Scrub Gently: Using a soft cloth, scrub the surface in circles. For stubborn buildup, carefully use a razor blade at a 45-degree angle.
Rinse and Buff: Wipe everything down with a clean, damp cloth. Then, buff with a dry microfiber towel for a streak-free shine.
Serving and Storage Tips:
While you won’t be eating this recipe, you can “serve” yourself a clean stove weekly! Store your vinegar and baking soda in easy-access containers to make this routine hassle-free. You can also pre-mix a baking soda paste and keep it in a sealed jar for convenience.
Variations:
Add a few drops of lemon essential oil to the vinegar spray for a fresh scent and extra grease-fighting power.
Use rubbing alcohol instead of vinegar for a streak-free polish.
For eco-friendly enthusiasts, swap dish soap for Castile soap.
