Crusty and slippery stove mats are often a problem in the kitchen. Not without reason, the accumulated crust not only reduces the aesthetics of the kitchen, but can also become a nest for bacteria and dirt that is difficult to clean. Additionally, slippery surfaces can increase the risk of accidents while cooking.
To overcome this problem, the stove mat must be cleaned immediately. Usually some people will use special methods to clean stove coasters. One way is to soak the stove mat for hours or even overnight.
Basically, soaking the stove mat aims to soften the crust that sticks to it. That way, the crust can be lifted immediately when rubbed. However, this method has drawbacks, namely the washing duration is very long.
If you want it to be faster, you can copy how to clean the stove coaster as done by Instagram user @ranitiaraa. Through one of the videos he uploaded, he admitted that he only relied on simple ingredients in the kitchen. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @ranitiaraa on Saturday (6/7), the kitchen ingredients used were baking soda, vinegar and dishwashing soap.

The way to use these materials is very practical. First, remove the coaster or burner from the stove. After that, place it in the sink. So, it's best to do the cleaning process directly in the sink or dishwasher, OK?

After that, immediately sprinkle baking soda or baking soda on all parts of the stove mat that are crusty and slippery with oil. Also add dish soap and vinegar. Make sure these three ingredients are poured evenly across the stove top.

Next, let it sit for a few minutes. If the crust is thick enough, you can leave this cleaning fluid longer. After that, immediately rub the stove coaster using wire wool. For gaps that are hard to reach, you can use an old toothbrush.

So, if you feel it is clean and rough, immediately rinse the stove coaster under running water. After that, wipe with a cloth and let it sit for a few minutes until it is completely dry. Only then put this coaster back on the stove as before. That way, the overall appearance of the stove becomes shinier.
