Quick Guide To Clean Kitchen Glass Top Stove Using Ingredients Available At Home

We all like the kitchen to be spotless and shining. But, it is nearly impossible to cook and not spill anything on the stove. Though we try to clean it immediately or right after cooking, stains often steal the shine.

No matter how much you scrub or wipe with a wet cloth, the surface looks dull. In India, we often have cleaning hacks passed on by our elders when it comes to keeping the space spotless. Along with store-bought products, we also create some DIY solutions to clean glass, steel, utensils, and other items in the kitchen. Here is how you can clean the stove with ingredients available in your kitchen.

The stove top gets dirty quickly. It bears the marks of spilled oil, water, and spilled food items. Here is how you can make it shine like a new one.

Method 1

• Apply it on the surface of the stove and leave it for about 15-20 minutes.
• Soak the cleaning towel or sponge in warm water.
• Wipe the surface with a paper towel.
• Spray vinegar after cleaning the mixture and wipe it off with a clean paper towel.

Method 2

• Cut a lemon into half and squeeze all the juice on the gas stove. You should check first that the stove is not hot.
• Sprinkle some baking soda on the surface.

Clean A Glass Top Stove With Burners

• If the glass stove has burners, cleaning it can be a bit tricky. Here is how you should proceed,
