DIY Natural Stove-Top Cleaner

Your stove top accumulates grease and food from spills and cooking, and in time changes from a spotless surface to a dull, greasy one. Chemical stove cleaners cut through grease and lift stains, but they can wear down the stove's surface when continuously used. A natural, nontoxic cleaner is an alternative solution to eliminating stains without harming the finish of the stove's surface.

Paper towel
Sink
Dish-washing liquid soap (if necessary)
Baking soda

  Turn off the stove and wait for it to cool. Wipe off loose food particles with a damp paper towel or nonabrasive sponge.

  Lift the grates off the top of the stove, if not cleaning a smooth-top stove, and soak them in a sink filled with hot water and 1 tbsp. of dish-washing liquid soap.

  Wet the sponge with warm water. Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda onto the sponge.

  Rub the sponge onto the stove-top's surface in a circular motion to remove grease and break up food particles.

  Rinse the sponge with hot water and squeeze out excess moisture.

  Wipe the stove top from back to front to remove baking soda. Rinse the sponge and continue wiping the stove top until the baking soda is gone.

  Wipe the stove top with a soft cleaning cloth to absorb remaining moisture.

  Remove the grates from the sink, if not cleaning a smooth top, and dry with the cleaning cloth. Set back in place on the stove top.
