How to Use the Homemade Mixture to Clean Your Stove:
Now that you’ve created your magical cleaning mixture, it’s time to get to work! Here’s how to use the paste for a spotless stove:
Step 1: Prep the Stove
- Start by removing any large debris or food remnants from your stove.
- For electric stoves, make sure the burners are cool to the touch. If you have a gas stove, ensure the burners are turned off and completely cool before cleaning.
Step 2: Apply the Mixture
- Using a clean cloth or sponge, scoop some of the cleaning paste and apply it directly to the stove’s surface, focusing on areas with grease spots, stains, or grime.
- Be sure to cover the stovetop and around the burners generously.
Step 3: Let It Sit
- Allow the paste to sit on the stove for 10-15 minutes to let it work its magic. The mixture will begin to lift grease and grime, making it easier to wipe away.
Step 4: Scrub the Stove
- After the paste has had time to sit, use a scrubbing pad or sponge to gently scrub the stovetop. The baking soda will act as a mild abrasive, effectively removing any stuck-on food or grease.
- For areas with stubborn stains, apply a bit more paste and scrub again.
Step 5: Wipe with Vinegar and Water
- After scrubbing, pour a small amount of white vinegar onto a clean cloth or sponge, and wipe down the stove to remove any excess paste. The vinegar will help to dissolve any remaining baking soda and leave your stove looking shiny.
- Alternatively, you can use a wet cloth dipped in warm water to wipe away the paste.
Step 6: Dry and Buff
- Once you’ve cleaned all the surfaces, dry your stove with a soft, clean towel.
- To give it an extra shine, buff it with a microfiber cloth or paper towel for a streak-free finish.
Additional Tips for a Sparkling Stove:
- Clean the burners: If you have removable burner grates, soak them in hot soapy water while cleaning the stove. Scrub them with a brush or sponge to remove grease buildup.
- Tackle tough spots: For stubborn, burnt-on grease or food, use a bit of baking soda mixed with vinegar as a paste. Let it sit for a bit longer, then scrub with a soft-bristled brush.
- Keep it regularly clean: Wipe your stove down with this homemade mixture at least once a week to prevent buildup, making cleaning easier over time.
Why This Mixture Works So Well:
- Baking Soda is a mild abrasive that works wonders for lifting dirt and grease without scratching the surface.
- White Vinegar helps to break down stubborn grease and grime, while also eliminating odors.
