Cleaning gas stove burners can be done effectively without the use of harsh chemicals. Here’s a brilliant tip using simple, natural ingredients to make them look like new:
Ingredients Needed:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Warm water
Lemon (optional for added cleaning power)
Dish soap (mild and eco-friendly)
Toothbrush or soft scrub brush
Soft cloth or sponge
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Remove Burners
Carefully remove the burners and grates from your gas stove.
If your burners don’t detach, you can still clean them in place but avoid soaking the non-removable parts.
2. Soak the Burners
Fill a large bowl or sink with warm water.
Add 2–3 tablespoons of baking soda and a splash of white vinegar (about 1/4 cup).
Submerge the burners and let them soak for 20–30 minutes to loosen grease and grime.
3. Scrub Gently
After soaking, use a toothbrush or soft scrub brush to gently scrub away any stuck-on residue.
For tougher spots, make a paste of baking soda and a few drops of water, apply it to the grime, and scrub again.
4. Lemon Boost (Optional)
For added degreasing power and a fresh scent, rub a lemon half directly onto the burners. The natural acidity helps break down grease.
5. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the burners with clean water to remove all residue from the baking soda and vinegar.
6. Dry Completely
Pat the burners dry with a soft cloth or let them air dry completely before reassembling.
