7. Shine your stove top

Stoves and hobs come in a variety of finishes – some are enamel, others are glass or ceramic. Use a damp sponge with a squirt of MAQ Cream Cleaner to keep your surfaces clean and shiny. For burnt on dirt, slightly warm the hob or plate, squirt MAQ Cream Cleaner directly onto the food burn, leave for a few minutes and wipe away, leaving your hob shiny clean, without scratching it.

8. Mop your floors

To mop tiled floors, add one short squirt of MAQ Thick Bleach to five litres of water. Rinse and dry.
