It's no secret that a perfectly clean stove with shiny handles and a white surface adds coziness to the kitchen. However, it is quite difficult to keep her in such a state all the time, because not a single housewife is protected from problems with borscht running away from the pan, soot from pans. And splashes of fat, which then stick to all parts of the kitchen "assistant", form not just a yellowish, but a dirty and nasty coating that is difficult to wipe even with a special powder. However, there are still ways to clean the handles of the stove simply and quickly, and they are quite simple.
Often it takes very little time to wash the body of a gas or electric stove, but you have to tinker with the handles longer. You can’t wipe them with an ordinary sponge, the gel or paste drains from them, dirtying the floor. In addition, it is very difficult to wash all the recesses with an ordinary rag. To speed up and simplify the process, it is worth resorting to folk methods, calling for help soda, vinegar and citric acid.
Also, before cleaning, check which regulators are on the stove. If the handle moved away when pressed and was in the palm of your hand, it means it is removable, but if it is firmly in place, it is useless to pull with force, it will not be removed. Removable controls are easier to wash - they can be soaked in a basin with a solution, but non-removable handles are also easy to wipe.
