Understanding Your Ceramic Hob
Ceramic hobs are a popular choice in modern kitchens for their sleek, smooth surfaces and efficient heat distribution.

Using harsh chemicals, abrasive tools, or improper cleaning techniques can scratch or damage the glass surface. That’s why naturally derived, gentle cleaning products like Bio-D Multi Surface Cleaner are ideal—they’re tough on grime but safe for your kitchen and the environment.
