Chantel Mila, better known as Mama Mila, has taken to TikTok to reveal how she makes the secret cleaning solution that she uses to clean her stovetop.

In the video, Mama Mila mixes half a cup of baking soda, one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid, and one tablespoon of water into a bowl.

Once the solution is thoroughly-mixed, she applies it to her stovetop using a hand towel, making sure that the solution is evenly distributed on the stainless steel surface.

Chantel then leaves the solution for 30 minutes before spraying cleaning vinegar directly on top of it.

Finally, she uses a scrubber to scrub the DIY solution and remove grime and leftover food buildup, revealing a clean and shiny stovetop that looks brand new!

"This mix is powerful at banishing tough grease on stovetops and burners," she quipped.

The mum said that the method allows the water to remove all unwanted grease and food stains from the grates without the need for scrubbing.

With all the kitchen gizmos around at the moment I find I'm using the traditional stovetop and oven rarely if at all these days. My microwave is also a convection oven and much more suited in size to my needs. Then there's the air fryer, slow cooker, multi cooker, steamer etc etc. I cleaned my stovetop, covered it with a tea towel and it's now used more as a stand for the other things. It currently has the slow cooker on it making pumpkin soup!
