Has milk boiled over and left a stubborn burnt stain on your hob? Burnt milk is one of the toughest messes to tackle, and many ceramic or induction hob cleaners just don't cut it.
Fortunately, as cleaning enthusiasts know, white vinegar is a reliable, budget-friendly solution that lifts cooked-on milk without effort or harsh chemicals.
Pour white vinegar directly on the stain and let it work for 15 minutes. Here's how:

- White vinegar
- Damp sponge
- Tea towel (or clean cloth)
1. Pour white vinegar over the burnt milk residue.
2. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
3. Wipe away the vinegar and loosened milk with a damp sponge.
4. Dry the surface with a tea towel.
And just like that, your hob is spotless! This method is quick, effective, and gentle—no risk of scratching the surface.
If any traces remain, simply repeat the process.
Pro tip: For extra-tough buildup, use a hob scraper first to loosen debris safely before applying vinegar.
White vinegar's acidity breaks down the proteins in scorched milk, softening the residue for easy removal without scrubbing. It also disinfects the surface and eliminates burnt odors.
