I’m going to show you how to clean the top of a gas stove. This might sound strange, but hear me out. I’ll show you why it’s important and what can happen if you don’t take care of it properly.

Why Is It Important To Clean Your Stovetop?
Cleaning your stovetop as soon as you notice it’s dirty is best for one to preserve the beauty and functionality of their stovetop. In addition, cleaning a gas stovetop will allow particles that have been cooking to burn off or smoke up to gather in charred items that have not been removed from the heat source. These items could cause a fire to start if they are not removed. Thus, it is important for one’s stovetop to be cleaned as regularly and quickly as possible.
What Happens if You Don’t Clean Your Stovetop?
If you do not clean your stovetop, it will be bad for your health because of the smoke that could gather behind the greasy residue. It would also make your food taste bad if it is cooked onto a dirty or oily surface. Eventually, one might need to replace their gas burner if they don’t take care of the problem early on.
How Often Should You Clean Your Stovetop?
A gas stove top should be cleaned as soon as it is dirty. It’s recommended to clean the stove top every time after you use it because it will prevent a build up of dirt and debris that could cause problems down the road. In addition, keeping your cooking surface clean ensures good taste in food because you don’t have residue from old food cooked onto the cooking surface.
What Supplies Do You Need To Clean Your Stove Top?
To clean your stove top, you will need warm water and non-abrasive cleaner for natural gas stoves. For electric stoves, either use a scrub brush with dish soap or wipes made specifically for electric ranges. Wipe the stove top down with the cleaner of your choice. Then scrub the cooking surface clean to ensure all food residue has been removed. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely before replacing items on the stove top.

It is advised not to use a towel or other cloth that could leave particles behind on the stove top, which will only make the problem worse. After wiping it down, soak your sponge in warm water and mix some dish soap into the water. The dish soap will break up any grease or oil that’s left behind on the stove top. Never use harsh chemicals to clean your gas stove because they could corrode it.

What are some tips for cleaning a glass-top range?
First you need to remove any grates from the perimeters of your burner plates. Remember that there is a possibility of scratching the glass top, so be very careful when lifting grates. Next, you should turn on your range’s surface burners in order to heat up the stovetop. Turn off all other appliances in your home, including microwaves and air conditioning.
As soon as the burners are hot enough to produce steam, spray them with oven cleaner or place pans full of vinegar on each burner until they are covered with the liquid by at least one inch. While this is happening, moisten a sponge or rag with warm water and fold it over several times into a soft pad. Then wipe down your stovetop with it to remove excess residue from oven cleaners or vinegar.After soaking for fifteen minutes or longer, use a damp sponge with cooking oil on it to wipe down the tops of the burners as well as the sides. This will protect your glass top from corrosion or damage.
Once you have finished, remove all pans and containers from the stovetop before turning on its heat source again. Finally, you can replace grates and enjoy a perfectly clean range surface without any lingering problems with either stains or odors that may cause contamination to future cooking.
