Top Tips for Cleaning a Stove Tops


Cleaning the top of your stove and sanitizing it is essential for cooking safely. Burned food and grease splatter can be difficult to remove and are a sign of bad hygiene. In order to keep your stove clean and safe for cooking, you have to know some basic rules. You can't completely clean grease with only mild cleaning products or liquid dish soap.
Burned-in food can harden and stick to the stove top, if you don't clean it promptly. It can even leave permanents stains on more sensitive surfaces, so it's important to know how to clean your stove top fast and easy. Check the list below and collect all the materials and product for the cleaning. It's never too late to try cleaning bad stains and the grease and if it seems impossible to you, you can always book a cleaning service from a professional cleaning company.
Things you will need:
  • Clean cloth or towel
  • Scrub sponge
  • Special grease removing detergent ( or try the home-made recipe for natural, cheap cleaning solution provided by Cleaners Deer Park )
Cleaning the stove top: 
Use an old towel or dish rag to remove any loose debris and to wipe away any crumbs. Get all the removable grates and drip plates and place them in a basin filled with hot water. Hot water dissolves hardened food and grease. Add some grease fighting detergent to the water for better effect. Leave the removable parts of the stove top in the water for about an hour before you attempt to scrub off the grime from them. Before you start cleaning the stove top, make sure it's turned off. Unplug its cable and take some time to vacuum clean around and under the stove. Having a lot of dirt and grease stains on your electricity sockets can be very dangerous.
Cleaning Tips and Methods:
Wipe away the dust from the unplugged cable with a dry cloth. Clean the stove top with grease removing detergent. If you don't like using chemical-based cleaning solutions you can try this amazing recipe provided by Cleaners Mitcham. A simple mixture of baking soda and warm water can make miracles in the cleaning process. Baking soda is a strong grease cutting solution and you can sprinkle some of the mixture on the burned food to loose it. Smell of burned grease and food can be unpleasant and if you want to deodorize your stove top, you could try using white vinegar.  It's also an absolutely natural product and it's very cheap. Sprinkle some white vinegar mixed with warm water on the stovetop, leave it for a couple of minutes and wash it away.
