Gas stoves are popular, but cleaning them can be challenging. Grease and food residue often accumulate on the burners, affecting not only the appearance but also the functionality of the appliance. Clogged nozzles can make it difficult to ignite the burners, which increases gas consumption and impacts your wallet. So, how do you clean the burners to avoid these problems?

Regular cleaning as the key to success

Useful products for cleaning burners are likely already in your kitchen. Just a few tricks and your gas stove can shine with cleanliness, without using harsh chemicals that are costly and can negatively impact your health.

Not everyone knows that white vinegar effectively removes burn marks. Simply spray the burners generously, wait 15 minutes, and then wipe them with a damp cloth.

Alternative methods for tough stains

If the stains are severe, the above method might not be sufficient. In such cases, disassemble the burners, place them in the sink, fill it with water, add a few drops of washing-up liquid, and a cup of white vinegar. After soaking for an hour, scrub the burners and let them dry before reassembling.

Another simple way to remove stubborn grime is by using baking soda and lemon. Combined with hot water, they effectively dissolve grease and food residue. Simply soak the burners in the baking soda solution for a few hours, and the grime will almost come off on its own. Lemon juice, due to its citric acid content, aids in removing grease. After removing the burners from the solution, you can additionally wipe them with a cut lemon to remove any remaining contaminants.
