Those who own a steel hob know well that keeping it always shining is a real challenge!
It is, in fact, a material that is very beautiful to look at and suitable for the kitchen, but at the same time it scratches and gets dirty with unique ease.
For today we will see together 5+1 Grandma’s remedies for polishing steel every day!
White alcohol vinegar
The first choice, among natural remedies, to thoroughly polish the hob, certainly falls on white alcohol vinegar .
There is no doubt about the fact that this ingredient is extremely effective when you need to polish matt surfaces , especially in our specific case.
All you have to do to use it is put a few drops of product on a well-rinsed and wrung out microfiber cloth .
If there are any stains, rub them away with a non-abrasive sponge and the hob will be as good as new again!
Sodium bicarbonate
With its light but effective abrasive action , sodium bicarbonate is also among the best remedies for obtaining a shiny hob!
To use it, you should never put it naturally directly on the sponge , but dilute it with water.
Therefore, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water until you obtain a mixture with the consistency of a gel; spread the mixture on the soft sponge and rub it on the hob.
Then all you have to do is rinse well, remove all residues and enjoy the result!

Then, rinse thoroughly, making sure not to leave streaks or soap residue.
Fine salt
Not everyone knows of the benefits that fine salt can bring not only to the kitchen, for the preparation of dishes, but also inside the house in natural cleaning remedies .
This product, in fact, is able to remove the most stubborn stains and particular types of dirt such as limescale or mould.
In the case of the hob, you will have to do the same steps as for baking soda, otherwise you could risk scratching it.
Therefore, dilute 1 tablespoon of the product with just enough water to obtain a sort of gel and spread it on the sponge that you will then use to thoroughly clean the steel.

Lemon juice , just like salt, is the basis not only of cooking, but also of the preparation of natural detergents.
First of all for its wonderful and inebriating scent, but also because it is an excellent limescale remover and natural descaler .
You can use it by rubbing half of the citrus fruit directly on the hob , so as to make it a real natural sponge.
Then rinse with hot water and the hob will be as shiny as ever!
