Cleaning your hob is an essential part of keeping it safe, performing well, and maintaining its warranty. However, using the wrong cleaning fluid or the wrong cloth can cause damage, scratches, and stains that can be difficult to remove. In this article, we’ll explore how to clean your hob properly, including the right cleaning fluid and cloth to use for induction and ceramic hobs, as well as stainless steel hobs.

Induction and Ceramic Hobs

Induction hobs and ceramic hobs have a smooth, flat surface that can be easily scratched or damaged if the wrong cleaning fluid or cloth is used. To clean your induction or ceramic hob safely and effectively, you should use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as a microfiber cloth or a cotton cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface of your hob.

For cleaning fluid, you should use a hob-specific cleaner that’s designed for use on induction or ceramic hobs. These cleaners are specially formulated to remove stubborn stains and spills without damaging the surface of your hob. Simply apply the cleaner to the cloth and wipe the surface of your hob, following the instructions on the label. Be sure to rinse the cloth thoroughly with water before using it on your hob, to avoid any residue or build-up.

Stainless Steel Hobs

Stainless steel hobs have a shiny, polished surface that can easily become scratched or marked if the wrong cleaning fluid or cloth is used. To clean your stainless steel hob safely and effectively, you should use a soft, non-abrasive cloth, such as a microfiber cloth or a cotton cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface of your hob.

For cleaning fluid, you should use a hob-specific cleaner that’s designed for use on stainless steel hobs. These cleaners are specially formulated to remove grease, grime, and stains without damaging the surface of your hob. Simply apply the cleaner to the cloth and wipe the surface of your hob, following the instructions on the label. Be sure to rinse the cloth thoroughly with water before using it on your hob, to avoid any residue or build-up.

In conclusion, cleaning your hob is an essential part of keeping it safe, performing well, and maintaining its warranty. By using the right cleaning fluid and cloth, you can clean your hob safely and effectively, without causing any damage or scratches. If you’re unsure about which cleaning fluid or cloth to use for your hob, consult the manufacturer’s instructions or speak to a specialist hob cleaner for advice. With the right care and attention, your hob will perform at its best for years to come.
