Wait until the hob is 100% cool. No, really. Touching it after a boil is how fingerprints become tattoos. Spray a little soapy water. Wipe with the damp microfiber. Dry with a dry part of the cloth. Done. Two minutes. Your hob now looks like it just came from the factory.
Quirky fact: Induction hobs are so non-porous that bacteria have nowhere to hide. That's why they’re popular in commercial kitchens. Your countertop is actually more likely to harbor germs than your hob after a quick wipe. Weird, right?
