How to Clean Your Stove Burners

Cleaning can be a delightful task. Cleaning and styling a coffee table? Even better. Cleaning the kitchen stove, on the other hand, is a task that does not nurture much affection. Leftover meals are literally cooked on the stove and cleaning will require a bit more grease than with Dyson.

It doesn't have to be that difficult. Read on to learn how to make your kitchen shine again.

No fancy sprays or tools are needed to clean the stove. Once you've collected your supplies, you're ready to start scrubbing. Read everything you need to know about how to clean your shop burners the right way.

Step 1: Remove Your Stove Burners and Soak Them

Fill the sink with a mixture of hot water and a little detergent, then get ready to wash the stove.
Carefully remove all grates and burner parts from the range. Make sure not to bend the ignition electrodes if your stove has them. It is always best to read your cooktop-specific manual for cleaning tips before you begin.
Place the pieces in the soapy water, making sure to completely submerge them. If you have a small sink, it may take a few turns, but your patience will lead to better performance. If multiple rounds are needed, be sure to empty and clean the sink each time.
Once the water has cooled down and filled with grease from other burners, it won't be very effective at removing more dirt. You can use oven mitts if you want, but since you only use soap and water, it's perfectly safe to do without them.
It is not necessary to add bleach to the mixture when soaking on the stove. Even if you are cooking directly on the stove, for example, using the flame to burn an omelet, the heat will kill all the bacteria.
If dishwashing doesn't really work, Keepers Friend Bar Stove Cleaner is another product loved by experts for safely removing stubborn dirt.

Step 2: Gently Scrub Your Burners With a Toothbrush

Soak the stove for at least ten minutes, then Dulude recommends scrubbing it with an old toothbrush. The small tip of the bristles is more delicate than a cleaning brush and allows you to really penetrate the smallest corners.
If getting wet and scrubbing doesn't remove all the debris, Dulude suggests using a small, pointed object, such as a bent paper clip, to carefully remove stubborn particles.
Stir the folded paper clip under burned food or dirt and you can remove it without much work.
Although compostable brushes and mops are excellent sustainable alternatives to tearing a sponge each week, the use of abrasive products or tools for this task is not recommended. The toothbrush and paper clip will get the job done too and you won't risk damaging and dulling your burners.

Step 3: Dry and Replace Your Burners

A very common mistake people make is putting the stove back in the oven before it is completely dry. Moisture on ignition or flame doors can cause them to take a long time to enter or not to ignite.

To make sure your burners are dry, you don't need to remove the leaf blower. Just lay the stoves on a dry towel, use another towel to wipe off the water, and let them sit until dry and rough to the touch. While they dry, take the time to clean the stove.

It is recommended to test all burners after completing the assembly. Depending on the type of stove, you may need to relight the pilot or move the burners a bit to make sure they are positioned exactly in the right place.

Step 4: Wipe Down Burners Between Cleanings

How often you need to clean your burners depends on how often you use the stove, but you can reduce deep cleaning by removing spills and spills as they occur - that is, after the stove has cooled down.
