We’ve all been there, staring at those stubborn grease splatters and burnt-on bits, wondering if they’ll ever come off.
But fear not, one cleaning fan has revealed just the trick – and they claim it will help get rid of those annoying burnt bits on your cooker.
They believe that the 5p trick can actually get your cooker looking sparkling new.
The tip came after one stressed homeowner took to Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips and Trick Facebook group to ask for some desperate advice.
Sharing a picture of her electric cooker, she wrote: “Pleaseeeeee!
“Someone must know how to fix this.
“The scratches don’t bother me too much (although [I] would like to get them out) but the last tenants left the hob all burnt or something and it’s stressing me out.
“Failing being able to fix this, does anyone know any good covers I can get to HIDE it.”
The post gained over 350 comments as many cleaning fans rushed to share their advice.
One suggested Baking soda, and wrote: “Put it on directly, mix a little water to make a paste, leave it to bubble, leave it for a couple of hours then use pink stuff and a scraper.”
Another also suggested: “Baby oil….or olive oil.”
A third said: “I would try baking soda and water paste… it even takes spray paint off.”
Someone else helpfully added: “If you’re stuck, no worries, you can use some baking soda and white vinegar to help clear off stubborn stains in a jiffy.
“Spray some of the vinegar and sprinkle the baking soda on top. Let this handy combo sit under a hot towel for a few minutes – up to a full 15.

“Then, wipe away the DIY cleaner with a microfiber towel.12 Feb 2024 This may help, I googled to see if there was a way.
“White vinegar is good for a lot of things so I hope this helps.
“I think I would just do a small fraction of the bad part to see if it helps rather than make it worse. Good luck.”

Timeline of Mrs Hinch’s Social Media Break
After an eight-week hiatus, Mrs Hinch reappeared on social media in July this year to share a heartfelt message about grief, honouring her late father Alan.
The 34-year-old cleaning guru used her platform to connect with those experiencing loss and openly discussed her own healing journey.
Sophie Hinchliffe, known to fans as Mrs Hinch, revealed that her cherished dad had passed away ‘peacefully in his sleep’ in April.
In a touching Instagram post, she reflected on the ‘deep, unimaginable pain’ that words cannot fully capture.
The first black-and-white photo showed Sophie with her sons, Ronnie (4) and Lennie (2), playing outside. She shares her children with her husband, Jamie Hinchliffe.
Sophie added a poignant text overlay to the image: “Grief is a pain I can’t think of the words to fully explain. If it’s something you’ve never experienced before, all I will say is that it takes your legs from underneath you.”
Her post prior to this was on May, when she announced her father had passed away.
Post-Break:

Desperately seeking advice, she wrote: “Can someone help me before I throw out my dining table? Felt tip pen and permanent marker vs four-year-old.”
Fortunately, Mrs Hinch cleaning fans were quick to offer solutions and flocked to the comments section with their tips.
One suggested: “Have you tried hair spray or hand sanitiser?”
