I cook a lot at home and if the stove is not working overtime to churn out those dishes for my family,
the oven is busy doing its fair share of meal preparation!
I will admit, there are several evenings or afternoons when we’re rushing to get somewhere
or I just don’t have the drive to spend time wiping my ceramic stove top or oven clean.
The result is dirty, grimy surfaces,
and caked ceramic glass tops!
Thankfully this embarrassing scenario does not last long.
After trying several DIY stove top cleaner concoctions I honestly believe I’ve finally found the one!
Before I continue, I need to add that I know there are store-bought oven and stove top cleaners
that work like a charm but I try to stay away from these for one reason alone-
strong cleaners tend to trigger off headaches and allergic reactions.
Hence the need to find a DIY stove cleaner that works!
The DIY Stove Top Cleaner that Actually Works!
They say the proof is in the pudding, so here goes-
The simple concoction brought about a very reassuring transformation to the insides of my oven.
What makes this homemade cleaner work well, is the inclusion of a surprise ingredient…
True, this all-natural product is commonly used in the laundry room but it’s just as helpful while cleaning a variety of areas around your home.
Click, save or print this infographic, and stick it on your kitchen wall or refrigerator as your cleaning hack reminder.
Borax besides acting as a laundry booster that helps soften water and enhance water performance also helps do more:
- Use Borax to clean fine china and silverware
- Use Borax to kill mold
- Use Borax to get rid of ants (Use a tablespoon of plain white sugar and 1/3rd tablespoon of borax. Place this mix on the ant trail)
So how do we make this fantastic glass top stove cleaner?
All that’s needed to make this all-surface cleaner is:
1/2 cup Borax
3 tsps dishwashing liquid
Juice from half a lime and
Enough hot water to make a thick paste.
Once the mixture is made, apply the paste onto the stove and oven’s surface and scrub it into all areas of the surface.
Use the coarse side of the sponge, a toothbrush or even the lime rind leftover after squeezing the juice.
Once applied, leave the mixture on the surface for 5-10 minutes and then wipe clean with a paper towel.
(Optional: You can finish off by wiping the surface down with a paper towel lightly soaked in hot water.)
You will be surprised at how well this cleans!
