How to make:
Mix the ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the baking soda, dish soap, and water. Stir to form a smooth paste.
Add vinegar: Slowly add the white vinegar to the paste. You’ll notice some fizzing, which is completely normal—this reaction helps break down grease and grime.
Add essential oils (optional): If you’d like a pleasant scent, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the mixture. Lemon or lavender works great for a fresh, clean fragrance.
Store the cleaner: Transfer the mixture into a spray bottle for easy use or keep it in a jar with a lid.
How to use:
Apply the cleaner: Spray or apply the paste onto the stovetop, focusing on greasy or dirty spots.
Let it sit: Allow the cleaner to sit for 5-10 minutes. The natural ingredients will work to loosen the grime.
Scrub: Use a soft sponge or cloth to scrub the surface gently. For stubborn spots, you can use a non-abrasive brush to get into the crevices.
Rinse and dry: Wipe off the cleaner with a damp cloth and dry the stove with a clean towel to reveal a shiny, spotless surface!
Serving and storage tips:
Storage: Store the leftover cleaner in the spray bottle or jar for future use. This homemade mix should last for a few weeks when kept in a cool, dry place.
Frequency: Use this cleaner weekly or as needed to keep your stove sparkling clean and free of buildup.
Variations:
For tougher stains: Add a bit more baking soda to the paste for extra scrubbing power.
For stainless steel: Add a teaspoon of olive oil to your mixture to help buff out streaks and enhance the shine.
