In the kitchen, after deploying your culinary skills to create delicious dishes, you have to face the task of cleaning everything. In this sense, although washing the dishes or putting them in the dishwasher is not too complicated, there are certain kitchen elements that do pose a challenge to leave them sparkling, such as the ceramic hob.
The ceramic hob is the part of the kitchen that receives the most prominence when we get our hands on the stove. This stains much more easily than other appliances such as the oven and is often also the victim of bumps and scratches due to the impact or friction of pots and pans. Although these scratches do not necessarily interfere with its proper functioning, they greatly spoil the aesthetics of the kitchen. Therefore, you need to know this trick to leave the ceramic hob like new, removing marks with toothpaste.
To leave your ceramic hob like new, if you want to remove scratches, you don't need to invest too much money in specific products: just a little toothpaste is enough. Toothpaste is not only used to brush your teeth, but it is also suitable for certain practical uses, such as repelling rainwater from your car's rearview mirrors.
In the specific area of the kitchen, toothpaste will be your best ally to erase marks and scratches from the ceramic hob. The trick in question comes from TikTok user @eltallerdefiti_, who has more than 45 thousand followers on her profile, where she shares cleaning and home decoration tricks.
Among his videos, we find one where he introduces the use of toothpaste to remove plaque scratches. You just have to put a small amount of toothpaste on the areas with marks and spread it with a cloth to cover the entire plaque. Then, let it sit for about two minutes and, finally, remove the product with a microfiber cloth. So simple and effective. “It will be shiny,” promises the creator of the TikTok video.
In this same video, we find two other tips to clean difficult areas of the kitchen in a simple and effective way. First, a procedure to clean the inside of the extractor hood. To do this, put a glass of baking soda in a pot of water and let it boil for an hour with the hood turned on to maximum. Then, remove the filters and clean the remains with a cloth.
On the other hand, it shares a method to facilitate cleaning the oven. Fill an oven-safe glass container with a liter of boiling water and add a dishwasher gel tablet. Put the container in the oven for one hour, at a temperature between 100 and 180 degrees. This will soften the dirt present in the appliance. After that time, clean with the detergent, dry the oven and that's it.
