Introduction
Stove burners often accumulate layers of grime, grease, and burnt-on food that can be a pain to remove. If you've tried scrubbing, soaking, and spraying with little success, it’s time to try something unexpected—dishwasher tablets. These compact cleaning powerhouses are designed to break down tough residue in dishwashers and can be just as effective on stove burners. In this guide, you'll learn how to clean your stove burners with dishwasher tablets quickly and efficiently.
Ingredients:
1–2 dishwasher tablets (unwrapped, unscented, non-gel type)
Hot water
A heat-resistant bowl or sink
A soft sponge or cloth
Rubber gloves (optional)
An old toothbrush or soft scrubbing brush
Paper towels or a clean drying cloth
Preparation:
Safety First: Ensure the stove is completely cool and turned off. Remove the burners and grates from the stovetop.
Fill Your Container: Fill a bowl or sink with hot water (not boiling, but very warm to the touch).
Soak the Tablets: Drop the dishwasher tablets into the water and let them dissolve for a minute or two.
Soak the Burners: Submerge the dirty burners in the solution and let them soak for 30–60 minutes. This helps loosen baked-on grease and food particles.
Scrub: Using a sponge or soft brush, gently scrub the burners. For stubborn spots, you can rub the dishwasher tablet directly onto the grime while wearing gloves.
Rinse and Dry: Rinse the burners thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a towel or paper towel.
Reassemble: Once completely dry, place the burners back on the stove.
Serving and Storage Tips:
