Gas stoves are great for cooking but they can be difficult to clean. Learning to clean your gas stove properly will save you a lot of time and frustration. To clean your gas stove simply remove the burner parts, clean the stovetop, and clean the burners in the sink.

Things You Should Know

  • Once the stove is cool, remove the burner grates and caps, and place them in the sink.
  • Submerge the grates and caps in hot water with a drizzle of dish soap and let them soak.
  • Scrub the stovetop and all burner parts with dish soap, water, and a sponge.
  • Rinse and air-dry all the parts, or use a clean rag to dry them off.

  1. 1

    Allow your stove to cool. Turn off all your gas burners and allow the stove to cool down completely before cleaning. Cleaning a stove while it is hot can result in injury.

  2. 2

    Remove the burner grates and caps. Once the burners are cool, lift them away from the stove. Place them in the sink.[1]

    • Burners can be placed in a large bucket or wash basin if a sink is not available.

  3. 3

    Fill the sink with hot water and dish soap. Completely submerge the burners in hot water. Add a drizzle of dish soap to the water while it is running to create suds. Allow the burners to soak while you clean the stove.[2]

  1. 1

    Brush away loose debris. With a cleaning brush or paper towel, brush away any loose debris. Don't worry too much about scraping caked on food and grime.[3]

  2. 2

    Scrub the stovetop. Clean the top of the stove using a stovetop cleaner or soapy water. With a clean rag or sponge, scrub the surface. Pay close attention to caked on food and grime. Don't forget to scrub the knobs and face.[4]

    • Spray some cleaner on tough spots and let it soak for five minutes before scrubbing. This will help to loosen the grime.

  3. 3

    Clean around the burners. Use a toothbrush to get into the crooks where the burners and caps sit. These areas can be tough to reach with a rag. Then wipe the area clean with a rag.[5]

  4. 4

    Dry the stove. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to dry the stove's surface. Drying the stove's surface will prevent streaking and make your stove's surface shine.[6]

  1. 1

    Scrub the burner grates. Using a toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner grates that were soaking in the sink. Most of the grime will wipe away fairly easy since they have been soaking for several minutes. Set the clean burners off to the side.[7]

  2. 2

    Scrub the burner caps. Using the same toothbrush or sponge, wash the burner caps. Set them off to the side with the burners.[8]

  3. 3

    Rinse the burner parts. With fresh, warm water, thoroughly rinse the burner grates and caps. Be sure rinse away all of the soapy residue.[9]

    • If the burners still aren't clean after using dish soap, try a heavy-duty degreaser instead.

  4. 4

    Dry the burner parts. Set the burner grates and caps on a mat to air dry. If you want the pieces to dry quickly, wipe them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.[10]

  5. 5

    Secure the burner parts back on the stove. Once the parts are completely dry, place them back on the stovetop in their proper positions. Your stove is now ready for use once again.

    If soaking the grates in dish soap and water does not clean your grates, you can try to spray and soak them with a heavier duty degreaser. Let the degreaser set into the grates for at least a few minutes, then wipe it away and rinse with water. This process may need to be repeated a few times for burner grates that have not been cleaned for a long time.

    For caked on food on the stove top, try to scrub the food with a soap and warm water mixture. If this won't break the food down, put vinegar on the caked on food, and cover with baking soda. Let the solution react for about 10 minutes, then wipe away the food. Rinse and clean the area with water and a rag.

    How do I clean a black top gas stove?

    Community Answer

    I've had very good luck with Lysol wipes. You do have to use paper towels or a clean a rag to get rid of streaks. Bar Keepers has a cleaner specifically for the top of gas stoves. It works very well for things that might have burned on. But the best thing you can do is wipe it daily so you can stay on top of it.

    Please clean when the oven is not cooking to avoid safety issues. Use oven cleaner and let it sit on surface for 15- 20 minutes. Be sure there is good air ventilation, as it can be hard to breathe. Then, use a few paper towels for removing oven cleaner. Most stores have generally have oven cleaner and can help you find a good selection.

  • Question

    Why won't the burner light after I clean it?

    Community Answer

    Sometimes it will need to dry fully for it to light. Or, if parts were not put back exactly the same way they were before being removed. If it is still not working, flip the breaker and start up the process of relighting the unit. If this doesn't work, you might have put the cleaner too deeply and shorted it.
