A gas stove top can often be cleaned with simple household ingredients. A common two-ingredient method is baking soda + white vinegar:
How to clean a gas stove top
Youโll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
Steps:
- Turn off the stove and let it cool completely.
- Remove the grates and burner caps if they are removable.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over greasy or stained areas.
- Spray or pour a small amount of white vinegar over the baking soda.
- Let it sit for 5โ15 minutes to loosen grime.
- Scrub gently with a non-scratch sponge or soft brush.
- Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth.
- Dry the surface to prevent water spots.
Extra tips
- For stubborn grease, warm soapy water and a little soaking time often work better than heavy scrubbing.
- Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives on stainless steel or glass surfaces because they can scratch.
- Never mix vinegar with bleach or bleach-based cleaners.
If your stove top is stainless steel, glass, enamel, or cast iron, the best method can be slightly different.
