Frequent cooking on your stovetop can cause accumulation of burnt-on food, grease and food residues, particularly under the electric cooker rings. But cleaning electric cooker hob rings thoroughly with products you may already have at home is easy if you know how!

So, if:

• Your cooker rings emit a burned food smell when they‘re hot;
• You can see food remnants on the hob rings;
• You’re not sure what detergents to use;

Then, read on.

What you need to clean electric cooker hob rings

For regular cleaning of your stove’s electric hob, use damp lint-free fabric such as an old t-shirt to gently wipe down all surfaces. You could use specialised cleaning products but natural cleaning solutions are becoming increasingly popular.

• Baking soda;
• Distilled white vinegar;
• Spray bottle;
• Scourer;
• Microfibre cloth;
• Paper towels;
• A soft bristol brush or old toothbrush;
• Oven cleaner;
• Single-edged scraper.

Cutting grease with household ammonia

• Household ammonia;
• Rubber gloves;
• 5-litre zip-top plastic bags;
• Sponge;
• Washing up liquid;
• Bucket.

How to clean electric cooker hob rings step by step

1. Remove the electric stove burners

Cleaning the stove burners will be easier if you take them off. To do so, make sure the burners are completely cool, grip the edge and lift them above the sides of the drip pans. Rock back and forth for an easier release. Detach by tugging out the connections of any exposed wiring. If you encounter any difficulties, consult your user manual.

2. Clean the stove coil

Cleaning the coils is a relatively simple procedure if you follow these guidelines. First, remove the heating coils from your stove. Use a washing-up liquid and warm water mix to wipe off the electric heating coil. Scrub stains with a scourer and then dry with a lint-free cloth.

3. Deep clean an oven heating element

Make a paste with half a cup of baking soda and three tablespoons of water. Apply it carefully to the coils with a soft-bristled brush and let the paste sit for about 20 minutes. Spray with distilled vinegar, then carefully rinse and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

4. Clean the cooker rings with ammonia

Take two rings at a time and place them in a zip-top plastic bag. Fill the bottom of the bag with ammonia and leave it overnight. Carefully remove the rings keeping them away from your face, as the fumes will be very strong. Rub the rings to get rid of excess ammonia. After that, carefully rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth. Safely dispose of the bags.

5. Clean the drip pins

Drip pans are designed to catch any spills and drips and are located under the heating unit. They should ideally be cleaned after each use as allowing food remnants and grease to build up can potentially be a fire risk. If they’re rusty, they need to be replaced.

For fresh spills:

1. Make sure the burners are cool before removing the coils and separating them from the drip pans.
2. Add washing-up liquid to hot water and place pans in the sink or a bucket, and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
3. Wipe down with a clean cloth or sponge.
4. Dry with a clean microfibre cloth before reinstalling.

For stubborn stains:

1. Shake the pans to get rid of loose food particles.
2. Leave pans to soak in hot water and detergent for 10 minutes.
3. Drain the water and add enough distilled white vinegar to cover the pans completely.
4. Leave to soak for another 30 minutes.
5. Sprinkle over a generous amount of baking soda which will react and fizz, and leave for 15 minutes.
6. Then use a scourer to get rid of any stains that are left.
7. Rinse the pans in hot water and dry them with a clean microfibre cloth.

Cleaning the drip pans with household ammonia

As previously mentioned, open a window or two and wear your protective gloves when working with ammonia.

1. When the drip pans are cool place them separately in zip-top bags.
2. Pour in a ¼ of a cup of household ammonia and seal the bags.
3. Let them sit for around 12 hours for the fumes to cut through the grease and grime.
4. Open the bags away from your face, as the fumes will still be very strong.
5. Wash the pans in hot soapy water and then rinse well.
6. Dry with a clean microfibre cloth.

Cleaning the drip pans with oven cleaner

1. Place the dirty drip pans in the sink or bucket filled with hot water.
2. Squirt a generous amount of washing-up liquid all over and let the pans soak for around an hour.
3. Rinse the pans before spraying an even thick layer of oven cleaner over the entire area, and let sit for another hour.
4. Rinse again.
5. Repeat if necessary until the pans are clean.

6. Clean the stovetop

Try turning burners to the highest setting to burn off as much dirt as possible. This may cause a smoky atmosphere, so you’ll need to keep your windows open. As soon as the smoke stops rising, turn the burners off and allow them to cool. Then remove the burners and coils to allow easy access to the stovetop.

How do you clean a glass-top electric hob?

1. Using a damp cloth spritz with a little distilled vinegar.
2. Place two or three sheets of paper towel onto the hob, soak with a glass-approved cleaner and let it sit for a while.
3. Wipe down the stovetop.
4. Gently scrape away any leftover food remnants.

How to clean electric hob solid plates?

1. Spray the vinegar generously over the stovetop.
2. Sprinkle baking powder on top.
3. Place a hot wet cloth on top and let it sit for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the wet cloth and wipe it down with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.

Alternatively, cleaning your solid plate hob can be done with a hob scraper to get rid of excess food remnants and then gently rub in a hob cleaner to remove any grime that’s left. Rinse with warm water before drying with a clean microfibre cloth.

Moving out of a rental property is a long and tiring process that often needs to be done on a tight schedule. You find yourself occupied with packing and arranging your belongings and, on top of that, you have to also find time to get your property deep cleaned.

Not only is it ethical to leave it in excellent condition, but if you don’t, you actually risk losing your security deposit. If you feel swamped with moving-out tasks, getting help from a professional cleaning service might be worth considering. This blog post will help you better understand the benefits of hiring end-of-tenancy cleaners, so you can decide whether it’s worth investing money in that kind of service.

Saves you a lot of time

When moving out, you have a huge to-do list, including, notifying your work place or school, decluttering, packing, transporting your belongings safely, etc. All of this is no small project on its own, but perhaps one of the most time-consuming activities is cleaning the place.

Professionals know how to be efficient and use their time wisely to transform the rental property in half the time a standard DIY cleaning would normally take.

Thanks to specialised training, years of experience and by using effective cleaning products and equipment, they can clean the whole property, leaving no stone unturned. While you may have to take a few days off work to do everything, an expert cleaner can finish it all in a few hours. And since moving out is often time-sensitive, opting for a professional end of tenancy cleaning service makes even more sense.

No cleaning effort required from you

End of tenancy cleaning isn’t the same as your day-to-day house cleaning. You have to up your cleaning game to ensure the property is up to standard. Tasks you’ve been putting off for years, like descaling a heavily stained toilet, scrubbing every part of the bathroom or washing the windows inside out, should be done before you give away your keys.

In other words, end of tenancy cleaning takes a lot of effort and may leave you drained before even finishing half the house. Hiring professionals can take your mind off all the cleaning and focus your effort on other aspects of moving out.

Ensures thorough cleaning

Your landlord or property manager expects to find the house in a spotless condition, which is demanding. Without professional help, it’s challenging to get each nook and cranny cleaned to perfection and missing important elements happens quite often. Professional cleaners use checklists and are experts at tackling all areas in the property, even the hard-to-reach ones like:

It’s one of the most used and least appreciated appliances in your kitchen. When you’re in a rush or don’t have the energy for complex recipes, popping some bread in the toaster is an easy way to make a quick snack.

The humble slice of toast has to be one of the most versatile foodstuffs in the world. You probably have half a dozen potential toast toppings in your fridge or larder. In the time it takes to swipe a knife you can turn your toast into something sweet or savoury, healthy or sinfully delicious.

But how often do you clean your toaster? Cleaning out a toaster doesn’t have to take more than a few minutes. Read on to find out how to clean a toaster inside and out.

This article is for you if:

• You’re tired of finding dried breadcrumbs all over the worktop.
• Using the toaster produces a smell of stale things burning rather than fresh bread browning.
• If you don’t know how to clean out a toaster when something gets stuck inside it.

Tools and materials

Just getting rid of crumbs doesn’t require anything more complex than your hands, and the only materials required are a rubbish bag. Then you’re planning to go a little further than that you’ll find it useful to have the following items:

• A rubbish bin or bag;
• A small brush – a pastry brush for loose crumbs, a bottlebrush or a used toothbrush if something’s stuck;
• Warm water, washing-up liquid;
• A soft cloth;
• White wine vinegar and/or kitchen cleaner;
• Baking soda.

Clean the inside of your toaster

It’s pretty obvious, but in the interests of safety, we’ll just mention it. Before starting to clean a toaster you need to unplug it and leave it to cool!

Get rid of loose crumbs

1. If you have a crumb tray, keep the toaster in the upright position and gently shake it.
2. Holding the appliance over the bin or rubbish bag slide the crumb tray out. Wash the toaster tray in warm water with a little washing-up liquid and set it aside to dry.
3. Use a sponge or cloth rather than an aluminium scrubber as you don’t want the scratch the tray. If you do the scratches will trap crumbs in the future.
4. Most of the crumbs will have fallen neatly in the bin but toasters have all sorts of nooks and crannies where debris gets caught so give it another gentle shake to free them. Turn the toaster upside down and shake again.

Clean the outside of your toaster

Toasters with a plastic exterior can be cleaned using a cloth dampened with diluted general-purpose kitchen cleaner. If your toaster has a chrome or steel finish, white wine vinegar works better as it brings back the shine and won’t leave smears.

If any marks don’t lift with diluted cleaner apply a little unconcentrated cleaner, leave for a few minutes then remove with a clean damp cloth. The watchword here is damp. When cleaning any electrical appliance always use the minimum amount of liquid that will do the job.

How to remove toasted cheese from a toaster

Standard pop-up toasters aren’t really designed for toated sandwiches and you should definitely never use them for cheese on toast! If however, you’ve managed to get melted cheese or any other melted food stuck to the inside of the toaster:

1. Unplug it and let it cool.
2. Once the stuck food has solidified, use a soft kitchen spatula to remove the majority of the debris, then a soft toothbrush to get rid of the rest.
3. Again, you can use white wine vinegar on the brush if you need some extra cleaning power.
4. Make sure the toaster is fully dry before using it again.

How to remove stains from a toaster

The steps described above will generally be enough to remove most marks from the outside of toasters but if you have stubborn stains try the following:

• White wine vinegar and water – A 1 to 1 mix of these two ingredients left for a few minutes on the stain may be sufficient to lift it.
• Baking soda paste – Add just enough water to the soda to make it stick together. Apply to the stain and leave it for a few minutes. Wipe off with vinegar. If the stain is really stubborn, use a soft brush to gently scrub. The soda is abrasive enough to lift stains but won’t cause scratches.

How often should you clean your toaster?

Apart from the fact that a dirty toaster is unhygienic and won’t produce great tasting toast, it’s important to remove crumbs regularly as they’re a fire risk. How often you need to clean the toaster depends on how often much you use it and what for.

If all you do is toast bread, a weekly removal of crumbs and a few minutes of deeper cleaning once a month should be sufficient. If you put sweet or crumbly bakery products in the toaster you’ll need to clean it more often.

If you smell burning when you use the toaster it’s overdue for a cleanout!

Every time you use your car there’s a chance that the interior will get scratched, scuffed or chipped. Damage is often caused by:

1. Pets – dogs claws scratch the plastic of door panels or anywhere else the dog has access to
2. Children – Kids scuff the plastic with their shoes and drop toys, play stations or phones, which can cause chipping
3. Luggage and shopping – It’s easy to cause a scratch when putting items with sharp or hard edges into the car

Why does it matter?

Scuffs and scratches make the interior look tired and uncared for and if you want to sell the vehicle you’ll discover that a scruffy looking interior detracts from the car’s resale value. Removing scratches as they occur will keep the vehicle looking good and maintain the value.

How to clean the alloy wheels of your vehicle

When it’s time to top up your oil and fill up the screen wash, how good will it feel to pop open the bonnet and see a nice and tidy engine bay? No oil spills, no splashes and no mucky marks. Maintaining a clean engine will help prevent it from rusting and allow for inlets, outlets and passageways from becoming clogged with dirt and debris; keeping your engine performing better and lasting longer. Not only that, a clean bonnet will show that you’ve looked after your car, so it’ll add value to it if you’re wanting to sell it.

So, if you:

• Want to add value to your vehicle;
• Want to keep your vehicle in immaculate condition;
• Want to know the steps to do it yourself;

Then, keep reading…

Things that you need to clean an engine bay

Not all car engines look the same, but the tools we need to clean them are fairly generic. They’re affordable too and can be found in most high-street DIY stores. Here are the products we recommend getting:

• Microfiber cloths
• Brushes – metal wire brush or toothbrush
• Wet wipes
• Pipe cleaners
• Degreaser
• Absorbent pads
• Electrical tape
• Pressure washer or garden hose
• Face mask
• Safety glasses
• Rubber or nitrile gloves
• Spray bottle
• Plastic bags
• Air blower or compressor (optional)

Risks and hazards when cleaning your engine bay

When it comes to cleaning under the bonnet and extending the life of your engine, it’s not as simple as splashing water and spraying cleaning products around. From letting your engine cool to protect the electrical systems, there are many steps to take to help you stay safe and keep your car protected when cleaning the engine bay.

• First of all, pick a warm day to clean your car engine bay – it’ll help dry your engine and everything else once you’ve cleaned it.
• Let the car cool down – if your car has been running, open the bonnet and let it cool down. Hot engine parts can burn your hands and they can become damaged if sprayed with cold water.
• Tighten caps and covers – when you’re cleaning your car, you don’t want water leaking into caps that aren’t closed properly.
• Protect the electrical systems – water and electricity don’t mix, so it’s best to disconnect the battery terminals and remove the battery if possible. Use electrical tape to securely cover the electrical parts like the alternator, fuse box, distributor cap and spark plugs.
• Get all the protective gear – it’s best to protect your hands, eyes and mouth from debris and dirt and harsh cleaners.

How to clean your engine bay

Nowadays, plastic kitchenware can be found in almost any kitchen and has become a part of everyday life. However, with that, a problem has arisen – the misplacement of such flammable kitchenware in or on top of running ovens. It should go without saying that burning plastic is neither good for you nor your cooker, but what’s even worse is the melted residue it leaves behind. In this guide, we have covered several ways on how to clean melted plastic from your oven and hopefully, they will work for you.

So if you:

• Accidentally forgot a plastic tray in your oven while it was on.
• Are wondering how to remove melted plastic off your hob.
• Misplaced a plastic bag on top of a wood-burning stove.

Then keep on reading!

Cleaning melted plastic from inside the oven

It might sound a bit bizarre, but people forget plastic objects inside their ovens more often than you think. The aftermath of this is usually a splatter of melted plastic inside the oven, accompanied by a putrid burnt smell. This completely destroys the taste of any future cooked food if not cleaned on time.

When cleaning melted plastic from an oven, you can rely on either the cold or the warm method.

• Cold method – Use cold temperatures to freeze the plastic. This makes it more brittle and easier to break off with a knife or a scraping tool.
• Warm method – Use heat from the oven to melt the plastic and then scrape it off with a wooden spoon when it has softened up a bit.

Electric and gas ovens

When removing melted plastic from the inside of an electric or gas oven, it’s preferable to go with the cold method. Start off by placing an ice bag on top of the plastic and let it sit until the ice melts. Once the residue becomes hard, use a scraping tool to remove as much of it as possible. With this particular method, it’s usually fairly easy to remove big chunks of plastic with minimum effort.

When you remove all of the residue, clean the inside of the oven using some detergent.

Before going ahead and cooking, run the oven on high heat to make sure no plastic was left behind after the clean.

Self-cleaning ovens

Self-cleaning ovens tend to be a bit trickier, as you can’t really use the cold method here since it might damage the coating of the oven. Therefore, your safest option is to go with the warm way. Before you start the procedure, crack a window open and switch on the extractor hood. Now with that out of the way, turn the oven to the lowest setting.

Wait for the plastic residue to soften up a bit and then use a wooden spoon to scrape all of it off. Try to avoid using tools that can end up damaging the oven and getting in need of oven repair service. Once you’re done with removing most of the plastic, run the self-cleaning cycle of the oven to burn any small remaining residue.

Heating element

To get melted plastic off an oven heating element, you can follow the instructions below:

• Turn the extractor on (you can also use a fan).
• Turn the surface unit on, on the lowest setting.
• Once the plastic softens a bit, use a wooden spoon to scrape as much of it off, as gently as possible.
• Turn the unit on the highest setting, to burn whatever remains of the plastic.

Oven racks

The best way to clean melted plastic off oven racks is through the cold approach.

• Take the racks out of the oven.
• Place them in the freezer or inside a tub between two ice bags.
• Wait for 30 minutes for the icy temperature to harden the plastic.
• Once it’s nice and frozen, scrape it off gently with a knife (be careful not to scratch the metal racks).

Ceramic and glass stove tops

Getting melted plastic off a ceramic or glass hob can be quite troublesome, especially when you’re trying so hard not to damage the glass surface. However, if you don’t remove the plastic and just leave it be, it will render your oven top completely useless.

A great way to approach the cleaning of the hob is through a tweaked version of the warm method. Fill a pot with boiling hot water and using a tablespoon, apply the water onto the plastic. This will loosen it enough for you to scrape it off easily using a putty knife.

Cover whatever remains of the plastic with some baking soda and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a microfibre cloth to scrub off the remaining residue off. You might need to repeat this process a couple of times depending on how much plastic is still left on the hob. After all of the residue is gone, clean the top using some soapy water and wipe it off with a microfibre cloth.

Gas and electric stove burners

To remove melted plastic from coil and disk burners, you will first need to get some degreasing detergent (something like WD-40 will do the trick). This will make all the nooks and crannies of the hob easier to clean in one go.

First, make sure the oven is switched off. Then apply the degreasing detergent on top of the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes. Use a scraping tool to remove all of the plastic.

Removing melted plastic from a wood-burning stove

Ironically, wood-burning stoves make for great shelves, however, that doesn’t mean you should use them as such. Yet, if on the off chance you forgot some plastic items on the hot cast iron stove and are now left with a patch of gooey plastic, don’t fret, it’s treatable. All you will need is a putty knife, oven cleaning solvent, detergent and a microfibre cloth.

• Place a fan in close proximity to the wood burning stove.
• Start the stove and wait for the plastic to loosen up a bit.
• Use the putty knife to carefully scrape the melted plastic off the warm surface, without damaging the surface.
• Stop the stove and wait for it to cool down.
• Treat the affected area with an oven-cleaning solvent to dissolve the remaining plastic residue.
• Clean the hot cast iron stove with a soapy detergent and then wipe it off with the microfibre cloth.

Remember that leaving your oven unattended after plastic has melted on or in it can prove to be detrimental to your health. Aside from the horrible smell it emits, the plastic also produces toxic fumes that can mix in with your food which could, in turn, lead to food poisoning.

Therefore, it’s essential that you clean the residue off the oven as soon and as thoroughly as possible. This way, you can get back on track with cooking and enjoying your tasty homemade meals before you even know it.

Cooking can be fun. Enjoying delicious homemade meals prepared in a Rangemaster oven is even better! However, the mess left behind can take away from the joy of cooking. After all, everyone wants a clean oven. A spotless oven door is more hygienic, better and it prevents unpleasant burnt smell and smoke from greasy splatters. But how can you achieve a sparkling oven?

How to clean a Rangemaster oven door?

Before we get into any details, it is important to mention that cleaning is much easier when done after every use. This will prevent oven cavity and dirt build-up, as well as make the thorough cleaning process later much faster. But don’t worry, we know how hard this can be, so no need to feel guilty if you can’t always find the time for this habit. Thankfully, there’s a way to get your Rangemaster oven door as immaculate as the day you got it in.

Cleaning tips:

• If you have steam cleaned the oven earlier on, the grease stains should have softened, so it is worthwhile using steam in advance.
• Be careful when working around the door sealers. Avoid getting into contact with them, it can damage the sealers, or displace them.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the back of the product. If unsure whether the cleaning product is suitable, test it on a small, inconspicuous section.

How to clean a Rangemaster oven glass door?

A clean Rangemaster oven glass door is important, not only for health reasons but also from an aesthetic point of view. If the glass is dirty, looking through it will seem as if the whole oven is dirty. Moreover, you won’t be able to see clearly through it and check on the food that is cooking inside.

There are numerous methods and commercial products but again the all-time favourite hot soapy water or a cream cleaner can as easily achieve shiny results. One advantage of Rangemaster oven glass doors is that they can be easily removed for more convenient cleaning. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to approach the task:

One of the most dreaded chores in the kitchen is cleaning the oven, especially an oven that has been neglected after several boil-overs and spills. But, you’re in luck if you have an oven with a self-clean feature. Using the self-clean cycle is simple—all it takes is a small amount of prep time, some patience, and a quick final wipe-down.

How Often to Use the Self-Clean Oven Cycle

Typically, the recommendation for running the self-clean cycle is every six months, maximum. How often you need to use it depends on the frequency of oven use and your cooking and cleaning habits.

Before You Begin

Always consult your oven model’s use and care guide. If you have lost the operating manual, most are available online from the manufacturer. Self-clean cycles can last from one to five hours so plan to do the cleaning during times you will not need the oven. The oven door will lock. Do not attempt to stop the cycle once it has begun or open the door until the cycle is complete.

Because of the high temperature, the self-clean cycle produces smoke and fumes as it incinerates the soil in the oven. It is important to keep the kitchen well-ventilated during the process to help clear smoke and odors. Do not block the oven vents so air can move freely.

Clear the Oven

Be sure that there is nothing—cookie sheet, broiler pan, aluminum foil, temperature probe—left in the oven. Check the operating manual to be sure the racks are self-cleanable. Most racks, especially stainless teel racks, should be removed before using the self-clean feature.

Since the self-cleaning cycle exhausts through a vent on the stovetop, you should also remove anything on top, such as spice containers if you store them on the ledge above your stove and oven dials or trivets kept on the stovetop. If you hang towels or oven mitts from the oven door, remove those as well.

Wipe Down the Door Seal

Dip a lint-free microfiber cloth in warm water and wring until just damp. Wipe the inside edge of the oven door and around the door frame to remove any crumbs or soil that might prevent a good seal. Take care not to move or bend the gasket around the door.

Increase Ventilation in the Kitchen

To help remove excess heat and fumes, turn on the range hood to increase ventilation in the kitchen. Open windows and turn on overhead fans, if possible.

Lock the Door and Select the Cycle

Most oven doors will lock automatically when you select the self-clean cycle. If it does not, lock it manually. Select the self-clean cycle on the control panel and let it run.

Clean Away the Residue

The oven door will not unlock until the interior temperature has dropped to a safe level. When the cycle is complete, open the door and use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away the ashy residue that remains on the sides and bottom of the oven.

Reassemble the Oven

Clean any oven racks that have been removed from the oven by washing them in hot, soapy water with a scrubbing sponge. Rinse, dry, and replace the racks. The oven is ready to use.

Clean the Oven Exterior

Now that the inside of your oven is clean, it’s a good time to clean the exterior of the door and the control panel. How you clean depends on the type of surface but most can be cleaned with a microfiber towel dipped in hot, soapy water. Wipe down the surfaces and then dry with a fresh towel.

Tips for Getting the Best Results From a Self-Clean Oven

• Wipe up spills as soon as the oven is cool enough to clean safely.
• Do not use any type of commercial oven cleaner at the same time as the self-clean cycle.
• Do not leave any bakeware, oven liners, or utensils in the oven during self-cleaning.
• Check your operating manual for instructions on how to clean the oven racks. Most should be removed during the self-clean cycle.
• Run the self-clean cycle before soil levels are heavy. It is nearly impossible for the self-cleaning feature to remove thick layers of burnt-on food in one process.
