The stove is one of the most used household cooking appliances, and if it\u2019s made from this material, you should learn how to clean it. Still, we often forget to take care of it as much as we would like to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although its name, stainless steel stoves can be rather tricky to maintain and may get damaged if not cleaned correctly. To clean your stainless steel cooktop properly without damaging it, you will require the know-how and the right cleaning solution. Well, your concerns end here! We will show you how easy it is to make a DIY cleaning solution at home, using items you may already have.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3>In this article:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#1\">Cleaning a stainless steel stove top<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#2\">What should you avoid when cleaning your stainless steel stove?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#1c4598\"><\/i> <a href=\"#3\">How often should you clean your stovetop?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1\">Cleaning a stainless steel stove top<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using vinegar and baking soda is the best thing that you can use to clean a stainless steel stove top.

Here\u2019s what you should never use when cleaning it:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Abrasive tools<\/strong> &#8211; If you want to clean your stainless steel stove top without scratching it, avoid using items like steel wool, scouring pads, or stiff brushes. Stick to soft sponges or microfiber cloths to protect the surface while cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Bleach<\/strong> &#8211; it contains chlorine, which doesn\u2019t go well with stainless steel because of its corrosive properties to metal. Make sure that the cleaning products you use don\u2019t contain chlorine or chloride. If by any chance chlorine gets on your stainless steel cooktop, quickly wipe it thoroughly with water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Abrasive cleaners and cleaning pads<\/strong> &#8211; Avoid using ammonia, alcohol, and hard water as they may damage the protective layer of the steel surface. Materials, such as steel wool and steel brushes, can scratch the surface. Make sure you always use soft sponges and cloths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> <strong>Wiping in the opposite direction of the grain<\/strong> &#8211; Stainless steel appliances have a brushed look made up of tiny lines in the metal &#8211; the grain of the finish.

If your stove is well-maintained because you wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth after every use, then this will always keep it sparkling clean. However, if not maintained well, it may require <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/melbourne\/oven-cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a thorough cleaning<\/a> more often. We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edmontonrealestate.ca\/oven-cleaning-guide.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cleaning your appliance<\/a> after a couple of uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more frequently you give your cooking device a good wipe, the less often you will need to spend time and effort on deep cleaning it. And this is undoubtedly a big plus! Especially if you live in a rental property, as the stovetop is one of the main things landlords and agents check during a <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-clean-does-a-rental-property-need-to-be-for-inspection\/\">routine house inspection.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Be careful what you use to clean your stainless steel stovetop so that you don\u2019t damage it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Vinegar in combination with bicarb soda does miracles when it comes to cleaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Avoid using hard scrubbing pads and products containing chlorine (such as bleach).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#db007d\"><\/i> Maintain your stovetop clean after each use to save yourself the time and needless hard work in the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#d6d9dd;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#f0f3f7;border-color:#ffffff;color:#172a41;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;\"><strong>Take a look at:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-clean-a-bbq\/\">How to Clean a BBQ &#8211; The Only BBQ Guide You&#8217;ll Ever Need<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"check-price-box\">\n    <p class=\"title\">Do you need a helping hand?<\/p>\n\n    <p class=\"subtitle\">Hire a professional cleaning team!<\/p>\n\n\t\n<form class=\"check-price-form dynamic-helper\" action=\"\">\n    <span class=\"the-postfield-wrap\">\n        <input class=\"the-postfield\" type=\"text\" name=\"postcode-field\" placeholder=\"\"  >\n        <div class=\"typewriter-box\">\n            <span class=\"typewriter\"><\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <span class=\"moving-label\">Enter your postcode<\/span>\n        <label for=\"postcode-field\" class=\"error-message\">Add a valid postcode e.g. 3000<\/label>\n    <\/span>\n    <span class=\"submit-wrapper-with-loader active\">\n        <div class=\"load-holder-lds-eclipse\">\n            <div class=\"load-lds-eclipse\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <input class=\"check-price-form__btn checkPricesSubmit\" name=\"check-prices-submit\" type=\"submit\" \n        value=\"Check prices &#038; availability\" rel=\"nofollow\" disabled>\n    <\/span>\n<\/form><\/div><div style='width:auto;' id=\"relatedpostslite_\"\r\n     class='rpl rpl_slick'>\r\n<div class='rpl_container'>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <legend>Related Posts<\/legend>\r\n\r\n<div class='rpl_wrapper'>\r\n            \r\n        <div num=1             post_type='post'\r\n             class='rpl_item rpl_visible current'>\r\n\r\n\r\n            <div class='rpl_inner'>\r\n\r\n                                    <div class='rpl_img'>\r\n                        <img src='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bfi_thumb\/aus-cleaning-cost-rm4l0ei1y7kjsubis7bu9n0x8ckpsdyy4thnsphjjk.jpg'\/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                \r\n\r\n                <p class='rpl_title'>\r\n                    <a href='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/house-cleaning-rates-australia\/'>\r\n                        House Cleaning Costs in Australia: Breakdown of Prices by City, Service, Property Size &amp; More                        <span class=\"overlap\"><\/span>\r\n                    <\/a>\r\n                <\/p>\r\n\r\n                                                                                                    <p class='rpl_relevance rpl_hidden'>18<\/p>\r\n                <div class='rpl_last'><\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n        <div num=2             post_type='post'\r\n             class='rpl_item rpl_visible'>\r\n\r\n\r\n            <div class='rpl_inner'>\r\n\r\n                                    <div class='rpl_img'>\r\n                        <img src='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bfi_thumb\/remove-pet-hair-from-carpet-rkywj4hlxhzm65fhqxrk0pm7i8v3ep4cs461xxfzg0.jpg'\/>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                \r\n\r\n                <p class='rpl_title'>\r\n                    <a href='https:\/\/fantasticcleaners.com.au\/blog\/how-to-get-pet-hair-out-of-carpet\/'>\r\n                        Is Vacuuming Failing?
