Stainless Steel Stovetops
Shining Stainless Steel Stovetops:
- Start with a Clean Surface:Â Remove any food debris or spills from the stovetop using a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Wipe down the surface to remove any grease or grime.
- Use a Baking Soda Paste:Â For stubborn stains or burnt-on spots, create a paste with baking soda and water. Apply it to the affected areas, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth.
- Polish with White Vinegar:Â After cleaning, spray the stovetop with white vinegar, which helps break down any remaining grease and adds shine. Wipe it down with a microfiber cloth following the grain of the stainless steel.
- Apply Olive Oil or Stainless Steel Polish:Â For an extra shine, apply a small amount of olive oil or a commercial stainless steel polish to a clean cloth. Rub it into the stovetop, again following the grain of the steel. Buff with a dry cloth for a streak-free finish.
- Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers:Â Always use non-abrasive cleaning tools to avoid scratching the stainless steel.
Following these steps will keep your stainless steel stovetop gleaming and spotless!
