4. Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Many people wait until their stove top is visibly dirty to clean it. Unfortunately, by this time, food particles and grease may have hardened, making them much more difficult to remove. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and makes it easier to keep your stove top looking pristine.
What You’ll Need:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Spray bottle
Microfiber cloth or soft sponge
Razor blade scraper (optional, for stubborn stains)
Warm water
Protective gloves (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Ensure the Stove Top Is Cool
Always make sure your stove top is completely cool before starting the cleaning process. This prevents any risk of burns and ensures the cleaning solution doesn’t steam or streak.
2. Remove Loose Debris
Wipe the stove top with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any loose debris, crumbs, or dust. This prevents the baking soda and vinegar mixture from becoming gritty and scratching the surface.
