Cleaning an induction hob? 4 tips for streak-free results
Introduction
Regularly cleaning your hob is important, as this is a sensitive area that comes into contact with various types of food, dust and dirt on a daily basis. Leftover food and other substances can not only lead to stubborn stains, but also to the growth of bacteria. Properly maintaining your hob is not only important for a longer lifespan, but also for a safe and healthy kitchen.
There are several cleaning methods available, but for all types of induction hobs, the use of a steam cleaner is highly recommended. The high temperature of the steam easily loosens stubborn dirt and ensures thorough disinfection, so you can enjoy a spotless hob with peace of mind. In addition, using a steam cleaner is environmentally friendly, as no harmful chemicals are used.
Cleaning with a steam cleaner
1. Safety
Start by turning off the hob and wait for it to cool completely before you begin.
2. Prepare the steam cleaner
Fill the steam cleaner's water tank almost to the brim, but always leave a little bit of room to allow for more efficient steam production.
3. Choose the right attachment
Choose the right attachment that is suitable for the specific surface, such as the steam outlet for stubborn dirt and a furniture attachment with a cloth for the entire hob.
4. Remove loose particles
Take a
duster
and gently remove dust and loose dirt from the surface. This will prevent scratches during the cleaning process.
5. Clean surface
Place the steam cleaner on the hob and move it slowly back and forth. Use the furniture attachment with a cloth for thorough cleaning of the large surface. This effectively removes dirt and bacteria, while at the same time ensuring a hygienically clean hob.
6. Stubborn stains
To do this, use the steam outlet, aim the steam cleaner at stains and let the steam work for a few seconds. If there are stubborn stains, gently use a soft cloth to scrub while the steam is being released.
7. Wipe and dry
Take a clean, dry cloth and wipe the surface of the induction hob. This will remove any remaining dirt and moisture, and will ensure a streak-free result.
