The hob is our ally when it comes to preparing our lunch and dinner. Too bad, though, that cleaning it thoroughly afterwards is a nightmare .
Even more difficult is cleaning all the components of the hob , including the burners which tend to get encrusted.
But you won’t have to fear anymore! Today, in fact, we will see how to clean encrusted hob burners with these natural and homemade tricks.

The first remedy is to use salt , which is able to absorb the most stubborn dirt. All you have to do is dissolve 1 glass of salt in a pan with hot water , turn off the heat and then add the burners to the resulting mixture.
Then, cover with the lid and leave for a few hours before removing the elements from the mixture without burning yourself . Finally, rinse them thoroughly and let them dry.
Vinegar
Another very effective remedy involves the use of vinegar , which boasts cleaning, degreasing and descaling properties. Then pour 1 cup of vinegar into a pan containing very hot water , then immerse the burners inside and leave them to soak for at least 2 hours with the lid on so as not to lose the heat.
Once the mixture has cooled, remove the burners and wipe with a sponge soaked in vinegar to remove the last residues. Finally, let them dry carefully in the open air and there will no longer be a trace of encrustations!
The descaling power of vinegar , in fact, will be able to soften encrustations allowing you to remove them in the blink of an eye! It is no coincidence that this ingredient is a godsend even for removing the most stubborn stains from toilet walls!
Citric acid
As an alternative to vinegar, you can also use citric acid by dissolving 150 grams of this powder in a pan containing 1 liter of hot water .
Then, soak the burners for about 2 hours, before rinsing them and scrubbing with a sponge to remove any stains still attached. And that’s it! As if that wasn’t enough, citric acid is also capable of degreasing and polishing the hob!
Bicarbonate
After vinegar, citric acid and salt, how could the well-known bicarbonate be missing? With this ingredient, in fact, it is possible to create a cream capable of thoroughly degreasing the most encrusted fires.

Then pour a few tablespoons of bicarbonate into a small bowl, then add the water gradually until you obtain a thicker consistency , like that of a cream. At this point, apply it to your burners, scrub with an old toothbrush and leave to act for a while. Finally, rinse and voilà: goodbye encrustations!
Yellow soap
Yellow soap is an ingredient known since our grandmothers for its ability to thoroughly degrease the hob and remove all grease stains and encrustations. So why not use it on burners?
All you need to do is stick a small piece of yellow soap onto an abrasive sponge and then rub it on all the burners , one at a time. If all the product dissolves and you are left with only the abrasive sponge, repeat the process! Leave it to act for a while, then rinse and… your burners will be as good as new again!
Lemon
Finally, let’s see how to use lemon, the citrus fruit also used to degrease kitchen tiles!
Simply pour the juice and peels of a lemon into a pan and add very hot water up to half. Then, add the burners and leave to act for at least 3 hours. Finally, rinse and dry them thoroughly.
Warnings
Remember to always let the burners dry well before reassembling them on the hob. In fact, if wet, they may not work well.
