The people who lived in the house before us left the hob in this condition. I’ve tried cleaning it with every thing I could think of but it doesn’t get off. I’ve tried Mr. Muscle Kitchen, I’ve tried mould cleaner, I’ve tried oven cleaners etc. But this thing just doesn’t come off or reduce.
Any suggestions what to do with it?

Re: How to clean this?
my goodness, some people just get too used to living with filth.
We had the same problem with one of the houses we moved to, you need a lot of patience, make a thick paste with baking soda and salt with water, and put on this mess and leave it on for couple of hours, then take a scrub and rub rub and rub, please use gloves or your nails will get crazy filthy.
The whole think may not come off the first time, may take few tries.
We also have a steam cleaner that helps to take some of this kind of gunk off. Good luck.

What type is it? Stainless steel.. enamel.. ceramic?
Re: How to clean this?
spray cillit on it , leave it for 20 minutes , then take a butter knife and using the wrong side of it , lightly scratch it off .. while scratching ensure that you are not using the knife in a direct angle , it will scratch the stove as well , but a laid angle .. that should take some of this dry grease off .. the rest of it you can scratch off using those silver scratch things you get in pound stretcher , i have forgotten the name , but its a really good thing for aggressive grease

There is something in USA called magic eraser. For cleaning stoves I have found that EASY OFF oven cleaner is best. Make sure you open windows and doors before cleaning .
Re: How to clean this?
I’d just hire the services of a professional oven cleaning service, you’ll never be able to get it as sparkly clean as they can and its worth every penny they charge (probably around £50 for a normal sized hob and extractor hood)
Then once it’s cleaned you can maintain it as per the suggestions above.
