Baking soda brilliance: Transform your kitchen with ease
Spilled liquids, burnt leftovers, and greasy stains are the bane of every kitchen. Instead of reaching for expensive chemical agents, try some proven home methods.
The stovetop is the area most exposed to dirt. Regular cleaning is key to keeping it in impeccable condition. You don't have to spend much on chemical cleaners to maintain a clean kitchen. A few drops of reliable, natural ingredients can restore its former shine!
Natural method: Baking soda and lemon
Lemon is a true master in the fight against grease, and baking soda perfectly removes bacteria without scratching surfaces. Simply sprinkle baking soda on the stovetop and wipe it with half a lemon. The natural juice will start acting immediately, dissolving greasy residues and neutralizing odours.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove any remaining soda and lemon pulp. The result? An ideally clean and fresh stovetop ready for your next culinary adventures.
Soap and water – Ideal for electric stoves
Prepare a cloth, a bit of mild hand soap, and warm water. Gently wipe down the entire surface to remove minor impurities.
But what about stubborn food residues? A paste made of baking soda and water in a 50:50 ratio can come to the rescue. Apply it to the stain, leave it for about 20 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Make sure to reinsert the burners only after they have completely dried.
The power of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda
This method is indispensable for tackling the most stubborn dirt. Start by thoroughly removing any food leftovers from the stovetop. Then, sprinkle baking soda over the surface, instantly dissolving cooked-on grime. Drizzle a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on the surface and watch as fizzy bubbles dissolve the burnt-on dirt.
After a few minutes, wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove the stains. Rinse off any remnants with water and dry the stovetop. The result? A gleaming surface with minimal effort.
