The stove is one of the most frequently used kitchen appliances . This piece of furniture even functions as a center for daily cooking activities. However, as the intensity of use increases, the stove easily becomes dirty and oily.
Usually spilled food scraps, oil splashes, and dust can quickly accumulate on the stove, creating a layer of dirt that is difficult to remove. This condition not only disturbs the aesthetics of the kitchen, but also has a negative impact on the performance of the stove.
To clean stubborn oil stains on the stove, some people usually clean the stove using soap. However, in some cases, soap sometimes leaves slippery marks on the surface of the stove. Apart from that, if it is not cleaned properly, the stove will smell because of remaining stains.
