For many, whipping up delicious meals in the kitchen is a joy, but the dreaded clean-up afterwards can be a daunting task. Especially when facing stubborn, burnt-on stains on your cooker. However, a clever hack circulating on social media promises to make this tough job a breeze, and it only costs 5p! A frustrated member of the popular Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Tricks Facebook group recently sought help after struggling to clean their stained electric hob. The post quickly sparked a flurry of comments, with cleaning enthusiasts eager to share their tried-and-tested solutions.
One standout tip suggested using a simple mix of baking soda and water. “Put it on directly, mix a little water to make a paste, leave it to bubble for a couple of hours, then use pink stuff and a scraper,” one user recommended. Another user chimed in with an equally affordable solution, using baking soda and white vinegar. “Spray vinegar, sprinkle baking soda on top, and cover it with a hot towel for 15 minutes. “Then, wipe away with a microfiber towel,” they wrote.
Adding to the mix of creative solutions, some cleaners even suggested using a pumice stone. While typically a skincare tool for exfoliation, it can also be used to tackle stubborn grime, ensuring the area is wet to avoid scratches. So, next time you’re facing those burnt-on cooker stains, try one of these budget-friendly hacks and see the difference for yourself!
