Introduction
A dirty stovetop is one of the most stubborn kitchen cleaning challenges. Grease, burnt food, and crusty spills can make your cooking area look neglected and unhygienic. But before you reach for harsh chemical cleaners, try this simple, natural, and highly effective 3-ingredient mixture. It cleans tough stains and burnt-on grime without scratching your stovetop, leaving it gleaming like new. Plus, it uses everyday pantry staples!
Ingredients:
Baking Soda – A gentle abrasive that lifts grime without scratching.
White Vinegar – Cuts through grease and disinfects.
Liquid Dish Soap – Breaks down oils and adds cleaning power.
Preparation:
Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over the dirty, crusty areas of your stovetop.
Mix equal parts white vinegar and warm water in a spray bottle (about 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup water).
Spray the vinegar solution over the baking soda; it will fizz and bubble, helping to lift grime.
Add a few drops of liquid dish soap directly onto the stovetop or onto a damp sponge.
Let the mixture sit and work for 10-15 minutes to loosen burnt-on messes.
Scrub gently with a soft sponge or non-abrasive scrubber, focusing on crusty spots.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a microfiber towel.
Serving and Storage Tips:
This mixture is meant to be used fresh and works best when applied immediately after mixing.
Store the vinegar and water solution in a spray bottle for easy future use, but mix the baking soda and soap fresh each time.
Always test on a small, inconspicuous spot if you have a delicate stovetop surface.
