How to Clean Stove Top

What You'll Need

• Soap-Man Turbo Clean Degreaser
• Baking soda
• White vinegar in spray bottle
• Non-abrasive sponge
• Microfiber cloth
• Razor blade or scraper (for glass tops only)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Remove grates and burner caps

   For gas stoves, remove the grates and burner caps and soak them in hot water with Turbo Clean Degreaser. For glass/ceramic tops, skip this step.

2. 2

   Apply degreaser to the surface

   Spray Turbo Clean Degreaser across the stove top surface. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes to dissolve grease and cooked-on splatters.

3. 3

   Scrub with baking soda for tough spots

   Sprinkle baking soda on stubborn stains, spray with vinegar, and scrub with a non-abrasive sponge. For glass tops, use a razor blade at a 45-degree angle for burnt-on residue.

4. 4

   Wipe clean and polish

   Wipe everything down with a damp microfiber cloth. For glass tops, buff dry with a clean cloth to prevent streaks. Reassemble grates and caps.

Pro Tips

• TIPClean splatters as soon as the stove cools -- a quick wipe after each cooking session prevents the need for heavy scrubbing.
• TIPFor gas stove burner ports clogged with food, use a straightened paperclip to clear each hole individually.
• TIPApply a thin layer of car wax to glass cooktops after cleaning to create a protective barrier that makes future cleaning easier.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• XUsing glass cleaner on a hot stove top, which can cause chemical fumes and does not effectively cut grease.
• XScrubbing glass cooktops with abrasive pads, which create permanent scratch marks that trap dirt and look worse over time.
• XIgnoring the area under the burner caps on gas stoves, where food and grease accumulate and can block gas flow.
