I've got loads of black cooking stains on my enamle hob. They have been on there a year or so (I know, i should have cleaned up as I went along but I'm not the only person in this household!)

Anyway, I' ve read through the tips on here and have tried soda crystal, biological washing powder, viniger, lemon j and mr muscle but its just welded on. any other ideas anyone! I'm at my wits end!!

    is it white is it stainless steel what??

    tried spontex?? its scratchy though so it might take the paint off if its a white hob

    sandpaper works a treat as well if its stainless steel just on the burned bits though

    if the worse comes to the worst you could try some paint stripper painted on with a kids paint brush

    how long did you leave the biological powder mix on for ??

    Would heating the hob up a bit help it come off easier :-/

    my friend has jsut blasted my kitchen for me including a very old casserole dish - glazed white pottery thing. he used mr muscle oven cleaner on it and its come up lovely. not sure if it would work well on the hob or not but might be worth a try. are you leaving the products to really soak into the stains?

    mines white enamal too.
    I left the bio powder on for a good hour or so.

    I did try an aggie and kim trick of using crunched up foil but it scratched it, so i'm not sure about using sandpaper. what is spontex?

    I'll try heating the hob I think?

    cheers

    I use the Mr Muscle kitchen cleaner on my hob, leave to soak for five minutes and wipe off with kitchen towel. As its stainless steel I then give it a quick spray of Windowlene and it comes up lovely.

    was it the foam over cleaner that you would normally use inside the oven ndnot on the hob or was it the liquid spray for cleaning the surfaces?
    Blah
