Introduction
Cleaning a gas stove doesn’t have to involve harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners. With just two natural ingredients, you can tackle stubborn grease and grime while keeping your kitchen safe and eco-friendly. This easy, cost-effective method will leave your gas stove sparkling clean in no time. Whether you’re dealing with daily spills or caked-on residue, this guide has you covered.
Ingredients
Baking Soda – Known for its abrasive yet gentle cleaning power, baking soda is perfect for breaking down grease and grime.
White Vinegar – A natural disinfectant and degreaser, vinegar cuts through dirt and leaves surfaces shiny.
Directions
Remove Stove Grates and Burners:
Take off the grates and burners and set them aside for cleaning separately.
Create a Cleaning Paste:
In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with enough vinegar to form a thick paste. The mixture will bubble briefly—this is normal.
Apply the Paste:
Spread the paste over the stovetop, focusing on stained or greasy areas. Use a sponge or cloth to rub it in gently.
Let It Sit:
Allow the paste to sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help loosen stubborn grime.
Scrub and Wipe:
Use a non-abrasive scrubber to clean the stovetop. Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth.
Clean Grates and Burners:
Submerge the grates and burners in warm water mixed with a few tablespoons of vinegar. Scrub them with a brush, rinse, and dry.
Polish and Shine:
Give the stovetop a final wipe with a clean, damp cloth, then dry it with a microfiber towel for a streak-free shine.
Serving and Storage Tips
Reuse Leftover Paste: Store any extra cleaning paste in a sealed container for up to one week.
Regular Maintenance: For best results, clean your stove weekly to prevent buildup.
