If you have a halogen or ceramic hob, then you really can't be without a bottle of Hob-Brite in your cupboard. I have been using this stuff ever since we bought our electric oven 13 years ago. Thanks to Hob-brite, our ceramic hob looks as good now as it did when it was new!

Hob-Brite is so easy to use. You just squirt a little of the liquid onto the cooled hob, then wipe it over the surface of the hob with a sponge. Most of the grease and dirt simply wipes off first time (hardly any need to soak) then you can buff the surface to a lovely gleaming shine with some kitchen towel or a soft cloth. Really baked-on food might take a bit of elbow-grease to get off, though I have never really had too much problem and usually just use a non-stick pan cleaner to get the worst off. Just rinse and wipe dry for a lovely finish! Takes just a couple of minutes really!

Hob-Brite is sold in a distinctive orange plastic bottle and comes in a handy 300ml size. I find one bottle lasts ages as you really don't need much to get the hob clean. It will clean all electric, halogen, ceramic and induction hobs and is recommended by several of the big names in cooker manufacturers.

As with all household cleaners you must store it away from children as it could be harmful if swallowed. I find that the liquid can also irritate my skin, so I wear rubber gloves when using it to protect my hands.

I usually buy my Hob-Brite in Tesco, and most of the supermarkets sell it for about the same price. A 300ml bottle costs about £1.52, which I think is really good value.

If you haven't tried Hob-Brite, I really would recommend it!
