Step 1: Soak the Grates
Begin by filling a big bowl or your sink with hot water, adding a generous amount of baking soda, and a squirt of dish soap. Submerge the grates, allowing them to soak for at least five minutes.
Step 2: Clean the Burner Caps
Transfer the burner caps into a bowl and add baking soda, slices of lemon, and hot water. After a couple of minutes, squeeze the lemon over the caps and let them sit for an additional five minutes.
Step 3: Wipe Down the Stove Surface
While the grates and burner caps are soaking, use a degreaser cleaning spray to wipe down the stove surface. Scrub any stubborn spots, then let it sit for five minutes before wiping it clean.
For tough, stuck-on food, use plastic blades.
Step 4: Tackle Burner Stains with Power Paste and Electric Toothbrush
Apply a power paste to any stains on the burners and scrub them using an electric toothbrush. Ensure you reach into all the crevices and gaps.
Step 5: Clean Crevices and Gaps with a Long Thin Brush
Use a long thin brush to clean and wipe all the crevices and gaps around the burners and stove. Don’t forget to clean your stove countertop gap cover if you have one.
Step 6: Scrub and Rinse the Grates
Return to the soaking grates, scrubbing them with a sponge and brush. For any stubborn food residue, use a pumice stone. After thorough cleaning, let the grates dry, and apply a light coat of mineral oil to prevent rusting.
Step 7: Rinse and Shine
Remove the burner caps from the bowl, rinse them well, and witness the shine. For an extra sparkle on the stove, spray vinegar and wipe down the entire surface. Put everything back in its place, and admire your spotless gas stove.
