Lemon and Baking Soda: For an extra boost, you can mix lemon juice with the baking soda paste. The acidity of lemon helps cut through grease and adds a fresh scent.
Dish Soap Addition: If your burners have extra buildup, add a few drops of dish soap (preferably a degreasing kind) to the paste. This will add additional grease-fighting power.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use this method on all types of burners? Yes, this cleaning method works on most stovetop burners, including gas, electric, and coil burners. Just be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions if you have a specialized surface.
How often should I clean my burners? To keep your burners looking like new, aim to clean them at least once a week or after cooking greasy foods.
What if the grease buildup is really stubborn? If the grease is particularly tough, try letting the baking soda paste sit on the burners for longer (up to 30 minutes) and use a soft-bristled brush to scrub it off.
Can I use other types of vinegar? White vinegar is recommended due to its acidity, but you can also use apple cider vinegar if that’s what you have on hand.
What if I don’t have baking soda? You can try using a commercial degreaser or a mixture of dish soap and vinegar, but baking soda is highly effective at cutting through grease and stains naturally.
