How To Clean Your Gas Range

When you’re preparing a home-cooked meal in Prime Osborn Convention Center, FL, you want the aroma of your dinner to fill the kitchen. If you get a smoke smell wafting up from the stove instead of the mouthwatering scent of your food, it’s time to clean your gas range.
Fire damage restoration experts recommend keeping natural gas appliances clean and well maintained for fire safety. Fortunately, range cleaning is simple and doesn’t require elaborate or expensive products. 

Five Steps to a Clean Range

These simple steps will ensure that you remove the grease and food spills from every part of your range. You’ll need vinegar, dish soap, a scouring pad, and a straight pin.

1. Scour Stove Top
Lift the grates off and set them into a sink full of hot water and dish soap or solvent. The area around the burners will have some spillover, and since this surface gets hot, the residue will be cooked-on. Soak with vinegar to dissolve this stubborn mess. Use a toothbrush if necessary to remove lingering stains and make your gas range shine.

2. Maintain Burner Heads
Remove the burner caps and put them in the sink with the grates. With the burner caps out of the way, you can access the burner heads. Use your pin to carefully remove all debris from the grooves on each head so air can flow as intended.

3. Clean Under the Hood
Lift the stove-top and wipe away all crumbs, grease, and food build-up you find. This area doesn’t get as hot as the surface above, so the grime won’t be as hard to remove.

4. Scrub Grates and Burner Caps
Take your scouring pad and detergent and apply some elbow grease. Soaking should have softened things up, but these items tend to collect a good coating of grime.  When they're sparkling again, put them back in place on your gas range.

5. Finish
Pull off and degrease all knobs, wipe clean underneath, and return them to their posts.
