How to

1. Generously sprinkle baking soda over the stove surface.

2. Rub gently with a damp sponge.

3. Rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp sponge.

4. Dry and polish with microfiber cloths for a streak-free shine.

Your stove is now spotless and gleaming! This method is simple, practical, and highly effective.

Grease stains, burnt residues, and everyday grime vanish effortlessly. It's a game-changer for gas stoves, and it works equally well on electric, stainless steel, cast iron, or pyrolysis models—even electric plates.

Bonus tip

For extra degreasing power, add two drops of dish soap to your damp sponge before rubbing in the baking soda.

Rinse and wipe with a microfiber cloth for maximum shine.
