Brilio.net - The stove rack is often one of the most difficult areas of the stove to keep clean. Along with daily use, the stove rack can easily become crusty and full of fat. Oil and food that spills while cooking tend to stick and harden on the surface of the rack, creating a layer of dirt that is difficult to remove.
Cleaning crust and grease on the stove rack is not an easy task. Even though it has been scrubbed vigorously and using various types of cleaners, the dirt remains stubborn and difficult to remove. This is because fat that is exposed to heat repeatedly will undergo a carbonization process, becoming a hard crust and sticking firmly to the surface of the rack. In addition, the design of the stove rack which has many corners and gaps makes the cleaning process even more difficult.
However, keeping the stovetop clean is very important not only for the aesthetics of the kitchen but also for health. Accumulated layers of grease and dirt can be a breeding ground for bacteria and invite pests such as cockroaches. In addition, accumulated crust and grease can also affect the efficiency and safety of the stove itself. Therefore, finding an effective way to clean the stovetop and prevent dirt buildup is very important if you want to keep your kitchen clean and hygienic.
Luckily, an Instagram user @nurulkomariah3112 once shared a simple trick in cleaning stovetops. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using simple ingredients to clean crusty and grease-filled stovetops. As reported by brilio.net on Friday (12/27), the simple ingredients in question are baking soda, dish soap, and toothpaste.

Now, when you want to use it, the three ingredients only need to be mixed together in a container. Then stir until completely mixed evenly. If so, apply evenly to the entire surface of the stovetop that is crusty and full of fat. For maximum results, let it sit for a few minutes. If the crust is thick, you can let it sit longer.

Once it has been left to sit, immediately scrub the stove coaster using a toothbrush or wire wool. Do this process until all the crust is dissolved and lifted. Only then rinse the stove coaster with running water until it is clean.

Well, the cleaned stove stand will be even shinier. After cleaning the stove stand, make sure to always dry it with a clean cloth before putting it back in. Maintain regular cleanliness by cleaning the stand at least once a week, even if it doesn't look too dirty, to prevent dirt buildup.
Additionally, you can also use a removable and washable coaster protector. This will catch spills and dirt, keeping your stovetop coaster cleaner for longer. Replace and wash the protector regularly to maintain cleanliness.
