With the convenience of the internet, we can all find ways to cut down the cost and time of cleaning our troublesome spots. Another content creator in Toronto has shared a revolutionary way to clean your stovetop and it’s effective, cheap, and chemical free.

TikToker Yagmur shared a video that showed how she cleaned her dirty stovetop with baking soda and lemon juice.

In the video, Yagmur pours a spoonful of baking soda over a sliced lemon. Turning it over, she uses the lemon as a sponge to scrub her electric stovetop.

After going over the stove once, she adds more baking soda and lemon juice onto the stove and cleans until the top is grease-free.

After wiping the excess with a paper towel, she reveals a spotless stovetop you’d want to eat off.
