Request: How Do You Clean Gas Stove Burners?
Archived on 09/28/2009
How do you clean a gas stove with burner caps, grates, and a burner plate that are all gray in color and similar to cast iron? The grates and caps are all removable. My stove is by General Electric. I have been using SOS pads and scrubbing them everyday to keep them clean.
I am looking for an easier way to clean them. I didn't know if I could spray something like Easy Off Bam on them, let it sit for a little while and come back and just wash them off with minimal work. Please share your tips. Thanks.

I put all the parts in a large trash bag, lay it in the bathtub, pour in about a cupful of Ammonia, and twist the top shut and hold it with a twist tie. Let it stand overnight. In the morning, pull the parts out of the bag, empty the Ammonia down the drain, run a few inches of hot water in the tub and scrub the parts with an old toothbrush. The cooked on food and grease will be soft and easy to remove. My stove is 10 years old and the grates still look like new. (10/17/2008)

I think I have the same stove. I put the drip pans and grates in the dishwasher. I know it said not to put the grates in the dishwasher, but after several years I decided to give it a try. They are fine in there. The caps though, I have to scrub them. Bon Ami or Bar Keepers Friend works well. (10/21/2008)

How do you clean gas stoves? Such a great question. Okay, there are so many ways to clean. Using SOS and scrub it everyday is one way. I think this will be the best way. Thank you. (11/16/2008)

I have a white built in gas stove. The white around the burners gets dirty very quickly. The only way I have been able to clean it is with lots of elbow grease. (01/13/2009)

Before retiring for the night, I place items in the sink and spray with a No-odor Oven Cleaner. In the morning I address the remaining 'spots' with a white nylon scrubbing pad (white is the safe, non-scratching type); then rinse and towel dry.
Do not use SOS or any other steel wool for scrubbing. These stove/oven items are typically glazed (like porcelain) and therefore have a glass finish; steel wool will remove this glazing. Would you use steel wool on your tub or bathroom sink? You don't want to use any abrasive other than whiting.
I've also heard that Harlean's method is great for BBQ grills! (09/18/2009)

I soaked mine in very hot almost boiling water and a good degreaser I purchased at the hardware store. Just let them soak for about a half hour. Then scrub with good scrub brush. Make sure you wear rubber gloves as the water may still be hot! jeangnome46 (11/04/2004)

If you are cleaning the stovetop burners, I just pop mine in the dishwasher. It works great even when we bought our house and they were really, really dirty.

Bar Keeper's Friend. Check out their website: barkeepersfriend.com It's cleans everything. I've found this product at Bed,Bath & Beyond. Some grocery stores and Walmart occasionally. Try it you'll be so satisfied. (07/25/2005)

Try baking soda and just a little bit of elbow grease. It is abrasive enough to get the grime up but not abrasive enough to scratch up your finish. Baking soda also works great for removing stains on your counter tops, with a little elbow grease. And, I really do mean just a little. You don't have to scrub hard at all and I just use a regular wash cloth for both of these things

An easy way.
I don't like to use products with a strong smell like ammonia. I just put all non-aluminum pieces into the dish washer machine. The hot water cleans all them very well and makes them shine.
I do have problems to clean the top: it's stainless steel and I can't rub anything to avoid scratches. (08/30/2007)

I used "fume-free Max" Easy Off Oven Cleaner on my stainless cook top around where the flames come out (all that cooked on mess). I just sprayed two coats of it at night, and in the morning I used the scrubby side of my sponge, and it came off beautifully and easily! I wish I would have figured this out a long time ago!
