How to clean stove grills

Maggie Lais on Nov 05, 2013Hi Lori, I have discovered the magic of hydrogen peroxide - found in any drugstore or Walgreens, Walmart, Target... combined with regular baking soda! I have used it for the worst of stains that have been burned into the top of our flat surface stovetop, which we used for months, with me trying to find something that would clean it up without scratching, as well as yukky yard stuff, rusted tools, bathtub stains, cranberry juice stains on a countertop.... just about anything I can think of! First, be careful with either ingredient, as they can damage skin, and when you mix them, sometimes they bubble a bit. Wear rubber kitchen gloves, and consider safety glasses, too. I squirt some hydrogen peroxide on the stubborn area, and then I sprinkle a generous amount of Baking soda right into the Peroxide. The next step is sometimes the hardest! I walk away, and leave it set for a minimum of one hour, but more if possible. The longer I can leave it alone, the better chance I can just wipe away the fluid, revealing a perfectly clean and unscratched surface. I will even add peroxide if it tends to evaporate. I save on elbow grease, but more importantly, I get it clean without harming it. Your stove grills may not need to handled so gingerly, but I am thinking this inexpensive mix may do the trick! If you have trouble keeping the grills in contact with the mix, you can place a paper towel on top of the peroxide-baking soda mix, then squirt more peroxide on the top... the paper towel helps a bit to keep the mix in place. I hope I am on the right track here! Good luck! MaggieHelpful Reply

Michelle on Nov 05, 2013The BEST way is the old fashioned method....ammonia! But only if you can remove the grates/grill. Seal them in a plastic bag with a little ammonia. The liquid doesn't have to cover...the fumes do all the work. Leave overnight, outside or somewhere where you won't smell it, and the TADA!!!! just like that the grease and grim melt off!Helpful Reply
