To clean the hob thoroughly, it is important to degrease the surface properly. This requires using the proper methods and products to remove grease, food residue and encrustations.

How do I clean a steel hob

Cleaning a steel hob requires special methods to maintain its lustre and preserve its elegant appearance. This is why we will now provide tips for effectively cleaning a steel hob.

Make sure the hob is completely cooled down first, then remove any food residue or crumbs using a damp cloth or soft spatula. Avoid using sharp tools that could scratch the surface. Steel is highly susceptible to any treatment or cleaning method; one of steel's worst enemies is the formation of limescale, which can also be a problem for household fittings.
For this reason, we have created a helpful guide with all the secrets to removing limescale from taps .

Returning to the hob and after completing the first cleaning step, switch to a cleaner specifically for stainless steel or metal surfaces. Apply it to the hob’s surface and wipe gently with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge. Your movement when scrubbing the steel hob’s surface is also important. Work gently, with a circular motion that helps remove dirt and grease residue. Alternatively, use warm water and mild soap solution to clean the hob. Always wipe down with a soft cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

To remove stubborn stains or slight burns, create a thick paste by mixing baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the hob’s surface and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Rinse well and dry your steel hob to avoid water stains or soap residue. Finally, avoid using abrasive chemicals, bleach or ammonia, which could damage the surface of the steel.

How do you clean an induction hob

Cleaning an induction hob requires a gentle approach to remove food residues and keep the surface scratch-free. Make sure the hob is completely cooled down before cleaning. Start by removing crumbs and food residue using a damp cloth or soft spatula. Choose a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, such as a dishwashing soap or a special induction hob cleaner. Apply and rub it all over the surface with a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge.

Alternatively, use warm water and a mild soap solution to clean the hob. Rub gently with a soft cloth or sponge and rinse thoroughly. Wipe the hob thoroughly with a clean cloth to avoid water spots or soap residue.

For stubborn spots or burnt food residues, use a baking soda and water paste. Apply it to the spot, rub gently with a soft cloth and rinse well. Once again, for the induction hob, we advise you not to take risks and avoid abrasive sponges or corrosive chemicals that could damage the hob’s surface.

Clean any spills or spots immediately to prevent them from crusting over. Use clean pots and pans to avoid burnt residue from forming. Clean the induction hob regularly to avoid dirt and encrustation build-up. Don't forget: follow the manufacturer's specific instructions.

Take note!

Here are 5 tips on how to effectively clean your hob:

  1. Cooling and residues: make sure the hob is cooled down completely before cleaning. Start by removing crumbs and food residue using a brush or soft spatula.
  2. Special detergent: use a detergent specific to the type of hob, such as glass ceramic, stainless steel or gas. Apply it to the surface and wipe with a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
  3. Baking soda and white vinegar: for stubborn stains or light burns, create a thick paste by mixing baking soda and water. Rub gently with a soft cloth and rinse well. White vinegar can also be effective in removing stains or encrustations. Apply it to the surface, let it work for a few minutes and then wipe it off with a cloth or sponge. Rinse well.
  4. Drying: dry the hob thoroughly with a clean cloth to avoid water stains or soap residue.
  5. Prevention and regular maintenance: clean any spills or stains immediately to prevent them from setting. Use clean frying pans and pots to avoid burning residues, and clean the hob regularly to prevent the dirt and encrustation build-up.

Following these tips and maintaining a regular cleaning routine will make it easier to keep your hob clean, shiny and in perfect condition for a long time!
