Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
Step 1: Remove the Grates and Burners
Start by removing the grates and burner caps from your gas stove. Place them in a sink filled with warm, soapy water to soak while you clean the stove’s surface.
Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Paste
In a small bowl, mix the baking soda, white vinegar, and dish soap. Add a little warm water to create a thick paste. This combination works wonders:
- Baking soda acts as a mild abrasive to scrub away stubborn stains.
- Vinegar breaks down grease and grime.
- Dish soap lifts away residue for a sparkling finish.
Step 3: Apply the Paste
Spread the paste generously over the stove’s surface, focusing on greasy spots, burnt-on food, and grime around the burners. Let it sit for 5 minutes to loosen the dirt.
Step 4: Scrub Gently
Use a sponge or soft cloth to scrub the surface in circular motions. For tough spots and crevices, use the toothbrush for precision cleaning.
Step 5: Rinse and Wipe Clean
Dampen a clean cloth with warm water and wipe away the paste, taking all the loosened dirt with it. Rinse the cloth as needed to ensure a streak-free finish.
Step 6: Clean the Grates and Burners
Scrub the grates and burner caps in the sink with a sponge or brush, rinse them thoroughly, and dry them with a towel before placing them back on the stove.
Pro Tips for Maintenance
