Homemade Stove Cleaning Mixture: The Natural Way to a Sparkling Kitchen
Let’s face it—stove tops are one of the messiest spots in the kitchen. Grease splatters, burned-on food, and sticky spills can build up fast, making your stove look dull and dirty. But here’s the good news: you don’t need harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners to get your stove shining like new.
This homemade stove cleaning mixture is easy to make, gentle on surfaces, and tough on grime. Best of all? It uses natural ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen!
🌿 Why Go Homemade?
Most commercial stove cleaners are packed with strong chemicals that can irritate your skin and leave behind harsh fumes. A homemade cleaner is:
✅ Non-toxic
✅ Eco-friendly
✅ Budget-friendly
✅ Just as effective—if not more!
🧼 Ingredients for the Homemade Stove Cleaning Mixture
-
½ cup baking soda
-
1 tablespoon dish soap (natural or unscented works best)
-
2–3 tablespoons white vinegar
-
10 drops lemon essential oil (optional, for a fresh scent and degreasing boost)
-
A small bowl or jar
-
A sponge or scrub brush
-
A microfiber cloth or paper towels
🧽 How to Make and Use It
Step 1: Mix the Cleaner
In a bowl, combine the baking soda and dish soap. Slowly add vinegar (it will fizz!) until you get a thick, spreadable paste. Add lemon oil if using.
Step 2: Apply to Stove Surface
Spread the paste over the greasy, dirty areas of your stove top—especially around burners and control knobs. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to break down grease and grime.
Step 3: Scrub Gently
Using a sponge or scrub brush, scrub the paste in circular motions. For stubborn spots, let the mixture sit a bit longer before scrubbing.
Step 4: Wipe Clean
Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth. Rinse the cloth and repeat as needed until all the paste is gone.
Step 5: Polish
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff the stove surface until it shines.
🔁 For Extra Tough Stains
For baked-on messes, you can sprinkle a little extra baking soda directly on the stain before applying the mixture. Let it sit longer—up to 30 minutes—then scrub and rinse.
🌟 Bonus Tip: Keep Your Stove Clean Longer
-
Wipe spills as soon as they happen.
