4. Preparing the Stove Top for Cleaning
Make sure the stove top is completely cool.
Remove any loose debris or crumbs with a soft cloth or brush.
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth to clear away light dirt.
This allows the baking soda and vinegar to work directly on tough grime.
5. Applying Baking Soda
Sprinkle baking soda evenly over the stove top, focusing on stained or burnt-on areas. For stubborn spots, use a thicker layer. The baking soda will gently lift dirt and food residue.
6. Adding Vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar. Lightly mist the baking soda-covered surface. You’ll see fizzing—this reaction helps break down grime and grease.
Let it sit for a few minutes to start dissolving stubborn buildup.
7. Letting the Solution Work
Allow the baking soda and vinegar to work for 10–15 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to loosen grime without scrubbing.
Meanwhile, prepare your cleaning cloth or sponge. Dampen it slightly—avoid soaking wet cloths so the mixture stays concentrated.
8. Wiping Away Residue
Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wipe away the baking soda and vinegar mixture in circular motions.
Rinse your cloth frequently to avoid spreading grime around. For tough spots, sprinkle a bit more baking soda and repeat.
9. Polishing for Extra Shine
After all residue is gone, use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff the surface. This removes streaks and leaves a brilliant shine.
For added sparkle, you can lightly spray the surface again with vinegar and wipe it dry.
10. Preventing Future Stains and Scratches
Wipe up spills as soon as they happen to prevent hardening.
Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemicals.
Clean regularly with gentle methods to maintain your stove’s appearance
