You can clean a greasy gas stove top using just 2 natural ingredients:
Ingredients
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
How to do it
- Remove the grates and burner caps (if they’re cool and removable).
- Sprinkle baking soda generously over greasy or stained areas.
- Spray or drizzle white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz as it loosens grease and burnt-on residue.
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Scrub gently with a non-abrasive sponge or soft brush.
- Wipe clean with a damp microfiber cloth.
- Dry thoroughly before replacing the burner caps and grates.
For stubborn burnt-on stains
- Make a thick paste with baking soda and a little water.
- Apply it to the stain and let it sit for 20–30 minutes before scrubbing.
- Repeat if necessary.
Why it works
- Baking soda is a mild abrasive that lifts grease and food residue without scratching most stove surfaces.
- White vinegar helps dissolve mineral deposits and grease while reacting with baking soda to loosen stuck-on grime.
Safety tip: Never mix vinegar and baking soda in a sealed container, and avoid getting excessive liquid into the gas burner openings. Make sure all parts are completely dry before relighting the burners.
