Brilio.net - The development of technology has changed the way of cooking from using wood stoves to modern stoves that use gas or electricity. This change provides convenience and efficiency in the daily cooking process. Increasingly sophisticated stove technology offers more practical operation for its users.
The use of a stove as the main kitchen equipment requires regular maintenance to maintain its cleanliness. Cooking activities often leave food and oil stains that stick to the surface of the stove. Without proper maintenance, the stove can look dull and unhygienic.
Stoves that are rarely used tend to experience more severe dirt buildup. Dust mixed with food and oil stains will harden over time. This unmaintained stove condition can reduce comfort and interfere with the cooking process.
Cleaning a stove that is already dirty is usually done using a special cleaning fluid available on the market. This stove cleaning product is easy to find in various stores and shopping centers. However, actually cleaning the stove can be done using alternative materials available at home.
A practical stove cleaning solution was shared by the TikTok account @daily.elya in her video. The content creator showed a method of cleaning a very dirty stove without using special cleaning fluids. The 39-second video shows the process of cleaning a stove filled with dust and mold until it is clean again.
As reported by BrilioFood on Tuesday (12/17), the TikTok user then used dish soap and baby oil (oil to moisturize baby's skin). Both of these ingredients are quite easy to find at home, right?
Next, prepare a container and fill it with dish soap. Add a little water and stir until dissolved. If so, apply it directly to the dirty stove with the help of an old sponge.

While soaping, scrub the surface of the stove until clean. Do this process until all the dirt on the stove is removed. Then dry the stove with tissue.

At this stage, the stove usually still looks dull because there are traces of dust or mold stains. Well, to remove the marks, use cotton that has been given baby oil. Then wipe the surface of the stove evenly. That way, the surface of the stove becomes cleaner and shiny like new.

"Thanks for the tips, I really want it to be that shiny, but I'm lazy if it gets dirty after frying fish," said TikTok @ctvny.
"Hihi, that's true sis, what happens if you don't cover the fried fish," said TikTok @daily.elya.
