How to Clean Your Stove Like a Pro: Step-by-Step Guide


🔧 What You’ll Need:

  • Baking soda

  • White vinegar

  • Dish soap

  • Warm water

  • Non-abrasive sponge or microfiber cloth

  • Scraper or plastic spatula (for stubborn spots)

  • Small brush or old toothbrush

  • Paper towels or a dry towel

🪄 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Turn Off & Cool Down

Make sure your stove is completely turned off and cool before starting any cleaning.


Step 2: Remove Grates and Burner Covers

Take off all removable parts like grates, knobs, and burner covers. Soak them in warm, soapy water for 15–20 minutes to loosen grime.


Step 3: Wipe Loose Debris

Use a dry paper towel or brush to sweep away crumbs, burnt food, or loose dirt from the stovetop.


Step 4: Apply Baking Soda Paste

Mix baking soda with a bit of water to form a thick paste. Spread it over tough spots, especially where there’s cooked-on grease or stains.


Step 5: Spray with Vinegar

Lightly spray white vinegar over the baking soda paste. Let the fizzing action lift the grime for 5–10 minutes.


Step 6: Scrub Gently

Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to scrub the stovetop. For tougher spots, gently scrape with a plastic spatula or use an old toothbrush to get into corners and around burners.


Step 7: Rinse & Wipe Dry

Wipe down the surface with a clean damp cloth to remove residue. Then dry with a clean towel or paper towels.


Step 8: Clean Grates & Burner Covers

Scrub the soaked grates and burner parts, rinse, and dry thoroughly before reassembling.

✨ Bonus Tip:

To keep your stove looking fresh longer, wipe it down with a damp cloth after every use and do a deep clean like this every two weeks.
