Useful Ways to Clean Your Kitchen Stove

Everyday cooking leaves some dirt on our stoves. Such dirt later clogs the pores of the gas stoves or coats on the coils of our electric or glass burners, which reduces the stove’s efficiency. To recover the stove’s efficiency, and give it a clean look, it is necessary to clean it regularly. But which are some of the useful ways to clean your kitchen stove with ease? Dig in.

 

Ammonia Soak

Soaking the dirty stove parts with ammonia is a sure method to get rid of the grime. All you need is to place the different removable parts and place them in a zip bag or garbage bag. Then, measure a cup of ammonia and pour it in the zip bag. Cover this and leave it to soak overnight. That allows the ammonia fumes to clean up the grime which covers the different parts. All you need is to remove them after the said time, rinse them in water and dry them off. It is necessary to have gloves and protective eyeglasses to avoid the dangerous ammonia fumes from getting to your delicate skin.

 

Vinegar Spray

Spray vinegar on the stove burners and let it rest for 15 minutes. Then wipe off the dirt with a cloth. Vinegar helps by cutting into the grime before it sticks into the burners and other parts. Spraying with vinegar is excellent routine maintenance. Even if you don’t have other cleaning agents, vinegar helps to keep your stove dirt free.

 

Using Baking Soda

Baking Soda is another cheap and effective way of keeping both electric and gas stoves clean. When you want to clean, make a thick paste of baking soda and smear it on the areas and parts which you want to clean. Let it rest for an hour so that the baking soda peels off the dirt and unclogs the pores of gas stoves. Afterward, rinse removable parts with water and wipe clean the unremovable ones.
