Clean kitchen hacks: Fight grime with baking soda and lemon
Spilled liquids, burnt residues, and greasy stains – the bane of every kitchen. Instead of reaching for expensive chemical products, try some proven home remedies.
The hob is the area most prone to dirt. Regular cleaning is key to keeping it in pristine condition. You don't have to spend a fortune on chemical cleaners to keep your kitchen clean. Just a few drops of reliable ingredients can restore its former shine!
Natural method: Baking soda and lemon
Lemon is a true champion in fighting grease, and baking soda effectively removes bacteria without scratching surfaces. Simply sprinkle the hob with baking soda and wipe it with half a lemon. The natural juice will start working immediately, dissolving greasy deposits and neutralising odours.
Finally, wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove any baking soda and lemon pulp residue. The result? A perfectly clean and fresh hob ready for more culinary challenges.
Soap and water – ideal for electric hobs
Prepare a cloth, a bit of mild hand soap, and warm water. Gently wipe the entire surface to remove minor dirt.
But what if you have stubborn food residues? Here comes the help of a paste made from baking soda and water in a 50:50 ratio. Apply it to the dirt, leave it for about 20 minutes, then scrub and rinse. Reattach the burners only after they are completely dry.
The power of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda
This method is indispensable for handling the most stubborn stains. Start by thoroughly removing food residues from the hob. Then sprinkle its surface with baking soda—it will quickly dissolve the burnt dirt. Sprinkle a few drops of hydrogen peroxide on the surface and watch the fizzing bubbles dissolve the burnt dirt.
After a few minutes, wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove stains. Rinse off residues with water and dry the hob. The result? A shiny surface with minimal effort.
