If “cleanliness is next to godliness,” then many of us are sinners when it comes to our stovetops. After all, even the most enthusiastic home cooks may leave the cleaning up to tomorrow.

But now, a social media sensation is taking the internet by storm with her incredibly easy trick to clean your stove top, and her secret weapon is something you’ll likely have on hand in your kitchen pantry.

TikTok user Auri revealed her “best cleaning hack” for tackling those tough stains on stovetops and all you need is some cleaner, patience, and cling wrap.

In a video she uploaded to her page, Auri tells her fans, “this life hack will change your life.”

The cleaning wiz then sprays oven cleaner over the grime encircling each burner before wrapping the entire surface in cling wrap.

She then leaves the stove for 24 hours.

When she returns, Auri removes the cling wrap to show the grime had been lifted and all that was left was a black residue to clean off.

Auri then used a cheap Scrub Daddy to clean-off any leftover marks, then simply wiped away the remaining dirt with an ordinary cloth.

“The stains have melted off! Scrub it with a Steel Daddy [and then] wipe it clean,” she said.

“This is honestly amazing, I can’t believe you made it look brand new,” one viewer commented.

“Wow I’ve been using baking soda and here in Finland I don’t know labels so I didn’t know what else to buy and now I’m gonna try this out,” another wrote.

“Oh my goodness… satisfying,” a commentator added.

“Ok I tried this myself and it was amazing!”

“Tried this and it worked thank you.”

Love the idea of this hack but don’t have the patience to wait 24 hours?

Enter, the humble lemon.

A lemon’s citric acid is both antibacterial and antiseptic, the fruit oils in the rind also give that added shine to your appliances, making them one of nature’s most amazing cleaning products.

Here are the top recommended cleaning methods to deep clean your oven like a professional:

Steam cleaning with a lemon

If you’re looking to get rid of some tough grease and dirt on the inside of your oven, try a little steam cleaning.

1. Fill an oven-proof bowl with water.
2. Take one or two lemons (limes would also work), cut them in half and squeeze the juice into the bowl.
3. Place the bowl in the oven.
4. Close the door of your oven, and turn your oven on.
5. Keep an eye on the water, and as soon as you see it start to boil, turn the oven off allowing it to cool down with the door closed, while the steam circulates.

This great little trick will help with dislodging some of the grime and grease, giving you a head start to a quick and easier oven clean.

De-greasing stove tops and oven glass with a lemon

Lemon is a natural degreasing agent, and if your stovetop could do with a spruce up:

1. Simply cut a lemon in half, and rub it over the top of your stovetop.
2. Wiping it down afterward with a warm, damp cloth.
3. Do the same to your oven glass door.

Lemon is a great way to bring back the shine to your glass and metal, with the added benefit of a fresh clean smell to boot.
