Brilio.net - The stove rack is often the part that is very easy to get dirty because it is a place where mold and thick crust grow. Moisture from water vapor, oil spills, or spices that spill while cooking can make the stove rack dirty and sticky. If not cleaned regularly, these dirt residues can accumulate, causing crust and mold that are difficult to remove.
Mold that grows on the stovetop is usually caused by moisture trapped on the surface, creating an ideal environment for microorganisms to thrive. The thick crust that sticks to it is also often from leftover oil or burnt food. This crust can interfere with the performance of the stove and make it look dull, in addition, mold that grows around the stove area can also affect the overall cleanliness of the kitchen.
To keep the stovetop clean and free from mold and crust, you need to wash it thoroughly. If you are confused, you can use the method used by YouTube user Tutorial Bang Dhexs in cleaning the stovetop. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted that he only used simple ingredients available at home to make the stovetop shiny again.

Now, if it has been smeared with toothpaste, immediately sprinkle powdered detergent on the stovetop. Then rub it lightly using an old toothbrush. Make sure the thick crusty part of the stovetop is coated with toothpaste and a lot of detergent, okay?

Next, put the stove stand back in the basin. Then immediately pour boiling hot water into the bucket containing the stove stand. Make sure the stove stand is completely submerged and let it sit for only 3 minutes.
"This hot water will help dissolve the thick crust and mold that sticks. Let it sit for 3 minutes so that all the ingredients work better," he explained further.

After soaking for a while, immediately lift and scrub the stove coaster using wire wool or an old toothbrush. While brushing, rinse occasionally with the soaking water. Then do this process until all the crust has fallen off.
Once done, then rinse with clean water until all the crust and toothpaste residue is gone. Well, the rinsed stovetop is cleaner and shinier like new. Even the surface is also rougher than before.
