She explained that they’re not just old, but also “slippy and sticky” thanks to frying various foods on them. 

And it’s clear to see what she meant from the shiny film that the stove top appeared to be coated on the surface. 

In the caption, she said: “Hello, need ideas asap! Finding it hard to clean these cooker tops. 

“They are very old and full of grease from frying so they feel slippy and sticky. Thanks.”

With over 240 comments left on the post shared on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips Facebook group, people were more than happy to share their tips. 

There was one hack that appeared to stand out amongst the rest though as one person shared: “Oven Pride, cleans them like new.” 

Another said: “Oven pride, it's not only for the oven shelves,” as a third agreed: “Oven pride put into the bag and leave overnight great stuff.”

And a fourth shared: “Put in the bag of oven pride, turn regularly so it all gets covered. Will be as good as new”. 

Oven Pride is just £3 from Asda, making it an affordable choice to combat the problem.

It’s important to note, however, that the manufacturers do not recommend using Oven Pride for this issue.

The state: “No, Oven Pride isn’t suitable for use on any part of the hob including hob/cooker/oven rings.”

Luckily, cleaning fans had several other suggestions to tackle to the issue as one person wrote: “Put I sink with dishwasher tablet cover with boiling water and leave for 15 minutes.

"May have to do a few times if they are really bad.”

Another chimed: “You could try Putting it in sink with dishwasher tablet and kettle of boiling water and let it soak?”

While a third added: “I would soak them in a dish washer tablets in a big bowl over night and then change the water in the morning and put some fairy liquid in for a bit.

"Then take out and use a flash product with a degreaser in it.”
