Brilio.net - The stove is very useful for keeping the pan in a stable position when cooking. However, because its position is closest to the frying pan, the stove burner is often exposed to stains from cooking ingredients. If you leave stains that fall onto the stove burner, over time they will harden into a stubborn crust, you know.
When the stains are already crusty, the stove burner will be difficult to clean if you just wipe it with a tissue or kitchen cloth. As a result, many people choose to soak it in hot water, then brush it. Hot water is known to be effective in removing stubborn limescale stains on various kitchen equipment such as stoves.
However, if you don't want to use hot water or don't have hot water at home, don't worry because there are other tricks. One of the tricks was shared by the gentlemen on the Home Creative YouTube account. The ingredients needed to practice this trick come from the kitchen, you know.
How to clean stove stove scale using kitchen ingredients.
What you have to prepare is dishwashing soap. Yup, this dishwashing soap is the first kitchen ingredient needed to practice this trick for descaling the stove stove. Pour enough dishwashing soap onto the surface of the stove burner, then add enough water.
Scrub the stove burner with wire wool. This dishwashing soap functions to remove oil and grease stains that are still stubborn on the surface of the stove burner. After scrubbing, rinse the stove grate with clean water and dry.

Next, sprinkle baking soda evenly over the entire surface of the stove burner. Well, baking soda is the second kitchen ingredient for cleaning scale on stove stoves. Baking soda is abrasive so it is effective in removing stubborn crust stains.
It doesn't stop there, pour the floor cleaning liquid evenly over the stove. When this floor cleaning liquid meets baking soda, a chemical reaction will appear in the form of foam.
"This chemical reaction will help soften the crust or stains on the gas stove coaster," explained the owner of the YouTube account Kreasi Rumah Home, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (9/5).
The owner of the Homemade Creative YouTube account also explained that in this process, you should use gloves so you don't risk causing skin irritation.

After applying floor cleaning fluid, let the stove sit for approximately 15 minutes. After that, rub the stove again with the wire wool until all the limescale stains are gone. Finally, if the stove burner is clean and rough, rinse it with running water.
