What’s the best way to clean gas stove burners?
- Remove the burners once they’re completely cool.
- Soak them in hot, soapy water for 15–20 minutes to loosen debris.
- Use a non-abrasive scrub brush or an old toothbrush to scrub off burnt food.
- For tough buildup, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the burner, and let it sit for 20 minutes before scrubbing.
- Rinse thoroughly and make sure the burners are completely dry before reassembling.
Can vinegar be used to clean burnt-on food?
Yes! White vinegar is effective at breaking down stubborn, burnt-on food. Spray vinegar directly onto the burner, let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush. Combine with baking soda for extra power.
Is it safe to use oven cleaner on stove burners?
Only if the manufacturer says it’s safe. Oven cleaners can be too harsh for some stove finishes or gas burner components. Always check your appliance manual before using strong chemicals.
What if my stove still won’t work after cleaning?
If your burners won’t light or you smell gas after cleaning, there may be a blockage or a damaged part. In that case, call Col Tech Appliance Services for a professional inspection and repair.
