You don’t need fancy chemicals—just a few things from your cupboard. Grab a soft microfiber cloth, some mild dish soap, white vinegar, and a plastic scraper (the kind you get with replacement blades). That’s your cleaning squad.
Forget steel wool or abrasive pads; they’ll scratch your hob’s glass top like a cat on a new sofa. Treat that surface like your favourite phone screen—gentle and with love.
The Quick Daily Wipe
After dinner, once the hob is cool, take a damp cloth with a drop of soap and give it a quick wipe. It’s like brushing your teeth—a small, boring habit that saves you from a huge mess later.
Do this every day, and you’ll dodge the dreaded “burnt-on-pasta-water halo.” That halo is real, and it’s the enemy of a peaceful morning coffee routine.
