How to Clean a Gas Hob | Step by Step:

1. Disassemble (if applicable): Carefully remove grates and burners.
2. Soaking: Soak these parts in a solution made by dissolving eco-friendly cleaning tabs in water to loosen grime.
3. Scrubbing: Gently scrub the hob and its components with a non-abrasive sponge.
4. Rinsing and Drying: Make sure everything is thoroughly dried before reassembly to prevent rust and ensure safety.

How to Clean an Electric Plate Hob | Step by Step:

1. Cooling Down: Ensure the hob is completely cool before you begin.
2. Cleaning Solution: Apply a solution created from dissolved eco-friendly cleaning tabs.
3. Gentle Scrubbing: Use a non-abrasive sponge to clean, avoiding damage to the plates.
4. Wiping Down: Carefully remove any residue of the cleaning solution.

How to Clean an Induction Hob (Ceramic) | Step by Step:

For induction and ceramic hobs, preventing scratches is paramount:

1. Use soft cloths and non-abrasive sponges only.
2. Clean with gentle, circular motions using a solution made from eco-friendly cleaning tabs.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the surface or leave residues that might affect the hob's functionality.

How to Clean a Glass Hob | Step by Step:

Similar care should be taken with glass hobs to maintain their integrity:

1. For tough stains, a solution of vinegar and water can be effective; apply gently with a cellulose dish cloth.
2. For routine maintenance, revert to a solution made from The Green Co's eco-friendly cleaning tabs to keep the surface gleaming without scratches.

When to Clean Your Hob and Why It Matters

• Signs Your Hob Needs to Be Cleaned: Look out for spillage residue, decreased functionality, or any odours indicating it's time for a clean.
• Frequency: A daily wipe-down after use is recommended; a deeper clean should be carried out weekly or bi-weekly, depending on usage.
