If you've ever left your hob too long between cleans, then you'll know just how difficult it can be to get the burnt-on grease and grime off of the surface - especially if you have a gas hob with removable rings, as they can collect even more dirt underneath them.
But it turns out you don't need to pull your hair out in frustration after trying and failing to clean your hob, as there's actually a fairly painless way of getting the job done in no time.
According to fans of cleaning guru Mrs Hinch, all you need is a £1.50 cleaning product and a little bit of patience.
Posting on the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook, one woman shared a picture of a stove ring covered in "burnt-on oil" and asked: "Any ideas if this can, and if so how, be cleaned? Burnt on oil. Asking for a friend whose husband helped to do some cooking .... Thank you in advance."
It didn't take long for cleaning fans to rush to the post and urge the woman to try using the popular cleaning product loved by Mrs Hinch herself - Pink Stuff paste.
Several comments suggested covering the ring in Pink Stuff and leaving it to sit for a couple of hours before then scrubbing it with wire wool or a similar tough scrubber, such as a Brillo pad.
One person wrote: "Pink stuff paste should get this off, smear it all over and leave for at least two hours and use a scrubber sponge."
While another said: "Pink stuff paste, leave for a while and scrub with a Brillo pad or wire wool."
And a third added: "The Pink Stuff paste on a sponge scourer and a toothbrush!"
Pink Stuff paste can be purchased from many supermarkets and retailers that sell home cleaning supplies, and costs £1.49 for an 850g tub at Asda, while Tesco sells the same size for a penny extra at £1.50.
Both Sainsbury's and Morrisons charge £1.65 for theirs, while Savers and B&M are both in keeping with Asda at £1.49.
Pink Stuff wasn't the only product recommended by the cleaning fans, as some suggested using another cleaning product named Bar Keeper's Friend, while someone else said they simply chuck their rings in the dishwasher.
The woman was told by one person to buy replacement rings on Amazon, as another recommended soaking them in a sandwich bag filled with Oven Pride.
