Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1
   Step 1

   Dampen a microfiber cloth

   Dampen your microfiber cloth with hot water. Keep in mind that higher temperatures will help loosen any caked on grease, so warm water won’t work as well here. However, make sure you don’t scald yourself, either.

   Step 2

   Mix in dishwashing liquid

   Wipe the stove top with the dampened microfiber cloth. If you’re still finding that the grease won’t come off, it’s time to change the game up a bit. Mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid — preferably a brand known for cutting grease — with your hot water.

   Dampen a fresh microfiber cloth with your hot soapy water, and wipe down the stove top. Again, you’ll repeat as necessary. If your microfiber cloth starts looking dingy, replace it with a fresh cloth. After all, you want to clean the grease, not spread it around.

   Step 3

   Make a baking soda paste

   If the grease still needs some extra work, mix 1/4 cup baking soda and 1 teaspoon of water into a small bowl. Make a paste and adjust as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water. If it’s too thin, add more baking soda.

   Dip your microfiber cloth into the paste and apply it to affected areas on your stove top.

   Scrub the paste with your microfiber cloth.
