How to Deep Clean Your Gas Stove in a Few Simple Steps
A gas stove can accumulate grease, food spills, and grime over time, but a thorough cleaning doesn’t have to be a chore. Follow these steps to make your stove look like new!
What You’ll Need
✔ Baking soda
✔ White vinegar
✔ Dish soap
✔ Hot water
✔ Microfiber cloths or sponges
✔ Old toothbrush or small scrub brush
✔ Plastic scraper (optional, for tough grime)
✔ Rubber gloves (optional, for protection)
Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
1. Remove Grates & Burner Caps
-
Lift off the stove grates and burner caps (the metal pieces covering the burners).
-
Soak them in hot, soapy water for 15–30 minutes to loosen grease.
2. Wipe Down the Stovetop
-
Sprinkle baking soda over the stovetop.
-
Spray vinegar on top—it will fizz and help break down grime.
-
Let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub with a sponge or cloth.
3. Clean Burner Heads & Igniters
-
Use an old toothbrush dipped in soapy water to scrub the burner heads (where flames come out).
-
For clogged holes, gently poke with a toothpick or paperclip (do not use metal on igniters).
4. Tackle Tough Grease & Burnt-On Residue
-
For stubborn buildup, make a paste of baking soda + water and let it sit for 20 minutes before scrubbing.
-
Use a plastic scraper (not metal!) to lift off crusty residue.
5. Wash & Dry Grates & Burner Caps
-
Scrub the soaked grates with a sponge, rinse, and dry completely before reassembling.
6. Wipe Down Controls & Exterior
-
Dampen a cloth with soapy water and clean knobs, control panel, and sides of the stove.
-
Avoid spraying water directly near gas knobs.
7. Reassemble & Polish
-
Put everything back in place.
-
For a shiny finish, wipe with a microfiber cloth and a little vinegar-water mix (1:1).
