😱 During a visit to my sister’s house, one detail immediately caught my attention: a towel placed directly on her stovetop. At first, I thought it was a weird quirk—or maybe she just forgot it there 😄 😄.
But when she explained the reason, I was blown away… 😮 and I adopted her tip as soon as I got back home.
It’s simple, clever, and incredibly effective for a problem many of us face: cleaning the stovetop without destroying your hands or spending hours scrubbing. Here’s what I learned—and why you should give it a try too. ➡️ Find all the details in the first comment 👇👇👇
For a glass-ceramic cooktop: Pour a bit of white vinegar (9%) on the surface, cover it with a towel, and let it sit for 20 minutes. The towel holds the vinegar in place, allowing it to soften any stuck-on grime. After that, just scrub gently with a damp sponge. Simple, right?
For a traditional stovetop: Sprinkle the dirty areas with baking soda, spray a little vinegar on top, and then cover it with a damp towel. The baking soda/vinegar combo works wonders to dissolve grease and stains. Then scrub, rinse, and dry. Easy as pie!
No baking soda on hand? No worries! You can use baking powder instead. Sprinkle it on, add vinegar, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. You’ll be amazed by the results!
But wait, there’s more! Here are a few extra tips to make your kitchen shine even brighter:
Say goodbye to that vinegar smell! Add a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil. This not only gets rid of the odor but leaves a soft, fresh scent in your kitchen.
Keep grease-fighting wipes nearby: For quick cleanups between deep cleans, use special wet wipes to remove fresh stains and splatters instantly.
One more bonus tip: After each cleaning, apply a bit of cooking oil using a paper towel. This creates a protective barrier that keeps dirt from sticking.
Try these tricks and I’m sure you’ll never go back! Your stovetop won’t just be clean—it’ll stay spotless longer! And trust me, you’ll be a cleaning pro in no time!
