How to Clean Black Appliances
There’s nothing worse than trying to prepare a meal and all of the sudden your skillet looks like it’s going to spontaneously combust. It’s also not fun trying to keep your house clean in between all of the dishes—especially when you have black appliances in the house. The simple solution? Use a little bit of elbow grease to get everything sparkling clean. All you need to do is clean your black appliances the easy way! If you have an old-fashioned or a Le Creuset, you’ll want to check out our article on how to clean an aluminum stovetop as well as our page on how to clean black appliances.
How to Clean an Aluminum Stove Top
The easiest way to clean an aluminum cooktop is to use a wire brush. A wire brush is made specifically for cleaning cooktops, so you won’t have to worry about it getting “brushed” off the surface. An old toothbrush can be used, but a wire brush works best because it won’t pick up any excess dirt or leftover food particles from previous meals. If you don’t have an old toothbrush lying around, a piece of stiff-bristled scrubbing brush can be used.
Start by spraying the wire brush with water to get it evenly coated. Next, use a clean, damp cloth to scrub the surface thoroughly. Finally, allow the wire brush to dry thoroughly before moving on to the next step.

How to Clean an Induction Stove Top
An induction cooktop is a little more tricky to clean as there’s no removable grid to scrub. However, there are a few things you can do to make the process easier and prevent the build-up of scale. First, make sure that no food are left on the cooktop. This could mean taking out the trash, emptying the dishwasher, or scraping the bottom of the pan with a spoon. If you’re not careful, the scale will build up and get underneath the grid and make your cooktop Look old and tired. Make sure that all the ingredients are properly pureed before going on to the next step.
Next, use a degreaser and a cleaning agent to clean the inside of the pot. Make sure that all the food particles are firmly scraped away from the inside of the pot. Allow the cooktop to dry fully before using a scrubbing pad to clean the surface.
Don’t Forget the Sponge!
Sponges are made of synthetic material and they’re not meant to be used on hot surfaces. They also don’t get the same work done as a scrubbing pad, so you’ll want to be careful when using them to clean your cooktop. A sponge will just absorb the water, leaving behind only a cake of useless material. A scrubbing pad will get rid of the excess water, leaving behind a proper cleaning surface.
Similarly, avoid using your toothbrush on your black cooktops. Even if it means you have to go to the dentist later on—from all the cleaning you’ll be doing!
Don’t Be shy, use your scrubbie
A scrubbing sponge is all you need to clean your cooktop. Store-bought sponges aren’t meant for stains so you’ll want to use your old ones. A scrubbing sponge can be used for many things besides cleaning—you can even use it to scrub your back!
Most sponges have loops on the back so you can easily add some gentle scrubbing power to a bottle of cleaner. Once the area is clean, simply rinse the sponge and store it in the bag.
Don’t Forget the Scraper
Once your cooktop is clean, it’s time to finish off the process. Use a scraper to get rid of the last bit of residue and prepare the surface for a new coat of wax or enamel.
If you don’t have a scraper, a table knife, or even your hands can work just as well. Just make sure that nothing is left on the surface when you’re done—not even an inch!
Don’t Forget the Spatula
Once your cooktop is clean, it’s time to give it some love with a spatula. A good rule of thumb is to use the edge of the spatula to lift the item out of the pan and onto a plate. Angle the spatula so it’s perpendicular to the surface you’re cleaning and use your other hand to loosely spread the item out so it can be easily lifted out of the pan. Be careful not to let the item drop when you’re lifting it out—this could cause damage to the bottom of the pan.
So easy, you won’t believe it!
The hardest part about cleaning your black cooktop is over. Now all you need to do is clean it like a pro and your house will be a much cleaner place!
Start with a clean sponge or rag and don’t be shy in scrubbing the insides of the pot. Use a spatula to keep the item from falling when you’re lifting it out. It’s easy, easy, easy!
