A simple way to clean a greasy gas stove top with two common ingredients is:
You’ll need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
Steps:
- Turn off the stove and let it cool completely.
- Remove the grates and burner caps (if they are removable).
- Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over greasy areas.
- Spray or drizzle a little white vinegar on top. It will fizz and help loosen grime.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a soft sponge or cloth.
- Wipe with a damp cloth until all residue is removed.
- Dry with a clean towel to prevent water spots.
Extra tips:
- Avoid using abrasive scrubbers on stainless steel surfaces because they can scratch.
- Do not pour liquid directly into burner openings.
- For stubborn baked-on grease, repeat the process or let the baking soda paste sit longer.
This method works well for regular grease buildup, but very old, hardened carbon deposits may need a dedicated degreaser or more time and scrubbing.
