Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
Step 1: Prep the Stovetop
Ensure your stovetop is cool to the touch. Wipe away any loose debris or crumbs with a damp cloth.
Step 2: Sprinkle Baking Soda
Generously sprinkle baking soda over the surface of the stovetop, focusing on areas with stubborn stains or burnt-on residue.
Step 3: Spray with Vinegar
Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle and mist it evenly over the baking soda. You’ll notice the mixture starting to fizz—this reaction helps break down tough stains.
Step 4: Let It Sit
Allow the mixture to sit for 10–15 minutes. This gives the baking soda and vinegar time to work their magic on stuck-on grime.
Step 5: Wipe Away the Grime
Using a damp soft cloth or sponge, gently scrub the stovetop in circular motions. The baking soda’s mild abrasiveness will lift stains without scratching.
Step 6: Polish with a Microfiber Towel
Once all the grime is removed, wipe the stovetop with a damp microfiber towel to remove any remaining residue. Buff the surface dry for a streak-free shine.
Why This Method Works
The combination of baking soda and vinegar is a natural powerhouse:
- Baking soda loosens and lifts dirt while being safe for delicate glass surfaces.
- White vinegar dissolves grease and eliminates streaks, leaving your stovetop sparkling clean.
Tips for Maintaining a Spotless Stovetop
- Clean Spills Immediately: Prevent stains from hardening by wiping spills as soon as the stovetop cools.
- Use a Razor Blade for Stubborn Spots: For burnt-on residue, carefully scrape it away with a razor blade at a shallow angle.
- Regular Maintenance: Give your stovetop a quick clean with a vinegar spray and microfiber cloth after each use.
The Best Part? It’s Budget-Friendly!
This easy cleaning hack not only works wonders but also saves you money. You don’t need expensive stovetop cleaners or harsh chemicals—just two pantry staples and a little elbow grease.
Say goodbye to streaks and stubborn stains, and hello to a gleaming glass stovetop! ✨
