π§½ You Only Need 2 Natural Ingredients! How to Clean a Gas Stove Top So It Looks Like New
A greasy, stained stovetop can make your entire kitchen look dirtyβbut you don’t need an expensive cleaner to freshen it up.
With just 2 simple ingredients, you can loosen stubborn grease, remove food residue, and make your stovetop look noticeably cleaner.
πΏ What You’ll Need
- Baking soda
- A small amount of dish soap
- Warm water
- A soft sponge or microfiber cloth
β¨ Step 1: Let the Stove Cool Completely
Before cleaning, turn off the burners and wait until the entire stovetop is cool. Remove the grates and burner caps if they’re designed to come off.
β¨ Step 2: Make Your Cleaning Paste
Mix baking soda with a small amount of dish soap and enough warm water to create a thick, spreadable paste.
Apply it to greasy or stained areas of the stovetop.
β¨ Step 3: Let It Sit
Leave the paste on the grime for about 10β15 minutes. This gives it time to soften dried-on food and grease.
For stubborn spots, allow a little more time rather than immediately scrubbing aggressively.
β¨ Step 4: Gently Scrub
Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to work over the dirty areas.
Avoid steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or anything that could scratch the stovetop’s finish.
β¨ Step 5: Wipe Everything Clean
Use a clean, damp cloth to remove the remaining paste and loosened grime. Then dry the surface with a microfiber towel to leave it looking clean and polished.
π₯ Don’t Forget the Burner Parts
Wash removable grates and burner caps according to your stove manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure every burner component is completely dry before putting it back, and don’t allow water or cleaner to enter burner openings.
