Homeowner’s savvy Kmart kitchen hack that saved her $100

A woman has shared how she restored a rusty stovetop to pristine condition without paying for an expensive cleaning service.

The happy customer shared two images of her stovetop on Kmart Mums Australia, along with a third image of a $25 steam cleaner from Kmart.

The woman explained that she needed to clean her stovetop ahead of a house inspection.


She used various household cleaners and every cleaning trick in the book, but found nothing was removing the marks.

With no success, she received a quote for it be cleaned professionally but was told it would cost her a staggering $120.

When she went to the shops in a final attempt for a remedy, she found the perfect product.

“Off to Kmart, I went to purchase the Hand Held Steam Cleaner for $25. BAM,” she said.

“If you don't own one of these already you must purchase one!”

Using Kmart’s steam cleaner, she did the job herself and saved $95.


Loyal Kmart shoppers were quick to praise the woman for getting the job done on a budget.

Fellow shopper Rhonda said, “Love my hand held steamer.....I keep looking for stuff to clean.”

Jessica added, “W'oooo! I'm definitely going to get one. Thanks for sharing!” 

After receiving plenty of questions from sceptics about whether she used expensive cleaning products to restore her cooker, the woman revealed the process.

She said that she didn’t need to spend time scrubbing and the job was done with just the steam cleaner, the brush attachment and water.
