It may seem counterintuitive, but oil actually helps remove grease stains from your cooktop. Put olive oil or another vegetable oil on a paper towel and wipe down your greasy stovetop. Try it on knobs, range hoods and the control panel too!
5- Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide:
Combining these two household products can help you clean your stovetop. Mix ½ cup of baking soda with enough peroxide to make a thick paste. Apply it to your cooktop and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wipe off any gross areas with a soft sponge or paper towel.
6- Lemon + Salt:
For non-glass cooktops, rub a lemon half over grease or food stains. Sprinkle salt on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Use a damp cloth to remove them. The lemon is a natural degreaser and the salt acts as an abrasive cleaner.
We’re not going to lecture you on how to deal with problems before they mummify on your stovetop, but incorporating any of these methods into your routine can reduce the amount of food scraps left to rot.
If you have a stainless steel stove, be sure to avoid metal scouring tools or abrasive cleaners. With all of these methods, wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel.
