How do I clean around base of a gas burner?
-
Sherrie on Dec 01, 2014I buy a small wire brush they sale in the automotive department. I also use non aerosol oven cleaner. It is more of a very heavy degreaser. Spray it and use the tool to get all the gunk off. I do two or three if these stoves a day. I can't have one speck of crude on anything. Hope this helps!Helpful Reply

Chavish on Dec 02, 2014I also have one burner that I use all the time on my stove. I clean the stovetop with some steel wool (SOS pads work great because there's soap inside), and if there's still stuff I'm having a hard time with, my husband's secret weapon is one of those magic foam sponges. Be careful though, it gets everything off (even the paint by the knobs!)!Helpful Reply

Lynda Laws on Dec 02, 2014I will soak it with Dawn degreaser then scrape it with a razor blade. No scratch marks and saves lots of time.Helpful Reply

Rebecca on Dec 02, 2014Use supplies for automobile cleaning and waxing. They are made to use on painted surfaces. After you get it clean a coat of wax will help to keep it clean and make it easier to clean.Helpful Reply

Slgibbs1 on Dec 08, 2014I am against any abrasives because they ruin the porcelain finish and make future cleaning more difficult. I use oven cleaner- let sit about an hour- wipes clean.Helpful Reply

Sherrie on Dec 09, 2014Then use a razor to chip it off and dawn. Lynda Laws gave great advice. Using regular oven cleaner can arc any metal of your range. I would be more worried about using it than using a razor to chip it off. I averaged two ranges a day. Some gas, some electric they hadn't been cleaned for at least a year, if we didn't use the right tools to get them clean we couldn't get then clean. I haven't hurt one top yet by using a copper brush/ or nylon to get in the little grooves, we use razors to take off any built up hard black spots. We use a oven/degreaser commercial cleaner, it is non aerosol and you need gloves but this stuff breaks down the dirtiest ranges or grease build ups. And believe me we find them everyday.Helpful Reply
