Step 2: Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over top.
Step 3: Using your sink or a large bucket, mix together some liquid dish soap and hot water. Wear gloves and dunk the towel in the soapy water.
Step 4: Wring out the towel a little bit so that it’s not sopping wet. Place the towel over the entire surface of the cooktop.
