Usually, cleaning is as simple as wetting a sponge with soapy water and wiping the cooktop down. For more serious cleaning, however, you might have to resort to a baking soda paste or a specialized stainless steel cleaning agent. Protect yourself before you get started by ensuring the stainless steel cooktop is cool, and protect your cooktop by avoiding caustic cleaning products.

Did this article help you?How do I get the brown off my stainless steel stove top?Pour a little vinegar onto a microfibre cloth or spray directly onto your stove top. Wipe clean to remove the grime, re-applying as many times as you need. Finish with a clean cloth dipped in olive oil, making sure you wipe away any excess.
What causes brown stains on stainless steel?The presence of sea salt on the surface of stainless steel is the major cause. Sea salt stays “wet” (and corrosive) until a very low relative humidity. Tea staining also occurs in polluted urban environments. Tea staining generally does not occur indoors because of the clean environment and low humidity.
