Those kitchen-counter sprays don’t cut it when it comes to cleaning a greasy stove top. Here’s a homemade cleaner that will cut through stove-top grease and leave a brilliant shine. In an empty spray bottle, combine one-half cup of white vinegar with a tablespoon of grease-cutting dish detergent. Add about three-quarters cup of hot water (not hot enough to melt the plastic bottle), and shake well. (We like to boil water in a kettle and let it sit for a few minutes—this sanitizes it and makes it the right heat.) Spray your greasy stove top generously, and wipe away with a heavy dishcloth. No rinsing necessary. You may need to scrub at the most heavily greased areas with a nonscratch scrubbing sponge. Your stove top will shine!
