- Reapply once a month, or after deep-cleaning, to maintain protection and reduce buildup.
✨ The Benefits
- Prevents future buildup: Grease slides off more easily, making daily cleaning faster.
- Restores shine: Stainless steel and enamel surfaces look glossier and newer.
- Protects against rust and corrosion: Great for older stovetops or humid kitchens.
- Reduces scrubbing time: Especially useful on hard-to-clean nooks and crannies.
⚠️ A Few Precautions
- Don’t apply near open flames or directly on burner grates. Petroleum jelly is flammable.
- Use only a thin layer — too much can attract dust or feel slick.
- Test on a small, hidden area first to make sure it doesn’t affect the finish, especially on delicate or coated surfaces.
🏠 Bonus Use: Knobs, Oven Doors & More
Vaseline can also be used to:
- Prevent grime around stove knobs
- Loosen sticky residue on oven doors
- Shine chrome trim or handles
- Protect rubber seals on refrigerator and oven doors
