A simple way to clean a gas stove top with just two common natural ingredients is to use baking soda and white vinegar.
What you’ll need
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- A soft sponge or cloth
- An old toothbrush (optional, for crevices)
Steps
- Make sure the stove is completely cool.
- Remove the grates and burner caps.
- Sprinkle baking soda generously over greasy or stained areas.
- Spray or drizzle white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz as it loosens grime.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a sponge or toothbrush.
- Wipe away the residue with a damp cloth.
- Dry with a clean towel before replacing the burner parts.
For stubborn grease
- Make a thick paste with baking soda and a little water.
- Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 20–30 minutes before scrubbing.
- Finish by wiping with a little vinegar to remove any remaining residue.
This method is effective for everyday grease and food residue. If your stove has a stainless steel or enamel finish, avoid abrasive scrubbers like steel wool, as they can scratch the surface.
