How to clean your stovetop? Cleaning your kitchen doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Dare we say it could be fun? Cleaning your stovetop regularly is essential to maintain a clean and hygienic kitchen.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you clean your stovetop effectively:
Gather supplies: Before you begin, gather the necessary cleaning supplies. You’ll need mild dish soap, warm water, white vinegar, baking soda, microfiber cloths or sponges, a non-abrasive scrub brush, and a towel or paper towel.
Safety first: Ensure the stovetop is turned off and cool to the touch before you start cleaning. This will prevent any burns or accidents.
Remove grates and burner caps: Lift off the grates and burner caps from your gas stovetop. If you have an electric stovetop, make sure the coils are cool and then lift them away carefully.
Soak removable parts: Place the grates and burner caps in a sink or container with hot, soapy water. Let them soak while you clean the rest of the stovetop. This will help loosen the grease and grime.
Wipe off loose debris: Use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe away any loose food debris or crumbs from the stovetop surface.
Make a cleaning solution: In a spray bottle, mix equal parts of water and white vinegar. This solution is effective at cutting through grease and stains.
Spray and let sit: Spray the stovetop surface with the vinegar and water solution. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down any stubborn stains or grease.
Scrub the surface: Take a non-abrasive scrub brush or a soft sponge and gently scrub the stovetop surface in a circular motion. Be careful not to scratch the surface if you have a glass or ceramic stovetop.
Target stubborn stains: For tough stains, make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing again.
Wipe and rinse: Use a clean microfiber cloth or sponge to wipe away the cleaning solution and any remaining grime from the stovetop surface. Rinse the cloth or sponge frequently in warm water to ensure you are not spreading dirt around.
Dry and shine: Use a dry cloth to wipe the stovetop surface, removing any excess moisture. This will also help to bring out a shine.
Clean grates and burner caps: Take the grates and burner caps out of the soapy water and scrub them with a non-abrasive brush to remove any remaining grime. Rinse them thoroughly and dry them before placing them back on the stovetop.
Regular maintenance: To keep your stovetop clean, wipe it down with a damp cloth after each use and clean up spills as soon as they happen.
