Gas stoves are very convenient for cooking, but sometimes they can be difficult to clean. Knowing the proper approach to cleaning your gas stove can save you a lot of time, effort and frustration. To clean the gas stove, you first need to remove the burners, clean the surface of the stove, and then clean the burners themselves in the sink.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Preparing the Gas Stove for Cleaning

1. 1 Let the gas stove cool down. Switch off the cooking zones and allow the hob to cool completely before cleaning it. Attempting to clean a hot gas stove may result in injury.
2. 2 Remove the grates and cooking zones from the stove. Once the hob has cooled down, remove the grates and burners from the stove. Place them in the sink.
   • If it is not possible to put the burners in the sink, they can be placed in a large bucket or basin.
3. 3 Fill the sink with hot water and dish soap to soak the grates and cooking zones. Submerge the cooking zones completely in hot water. While the water is still drawing, add some liquid dish soap to create a lather. Leave the cooking zones to soak in soapy water while you clean the surface of the stove.

Part 2 of 3: Cleaning the Gas Stove Surface

1. 1 Use a brush to brush away debris from the stove. With a cleaning brush or paper towel, brush off any loose debris from the hob. Don't worry about scrubbing baked food and grease just yet.
2. 2 Clean the surface of the stove. Use a special gas stove cleaner or soapy water to clean the surface of the stove. Use a clean rag or sponge to scrub the entire surface. Remember to wipe down the bezel and adjusting knobs.
   • Spray on stubborn dirt and let it soak for five minutes before trying to wipe it off. This will help loosen the dirt and loosen its adhesion to the surface.
3. 3 Clean the cooking zones. Use a toothbrush to clean the grooves under the burners where the burner nozzles are located on which the burners are installed. It is usually difficult to reach them with a rag. Then wipe everything down with a clean cloth.
4. 4 Wipe the stove dry. Use a clean linen or paper towel to wipe dry the surface of the stove. This will prevent water stains from forming and will make the surface of the stove shine.

Part 3 of 3: Cleaning the cooking zones

1. 1 Clean the stove grates. Use a toothbrush or sponge to clean the gas stove grates that are soaked in your sink. After soaking for a few minutes, most of the dirt should be easy to rinse off.Set clean grates aside temporarily.
2. 2 Clean the gas burners. Use a toothbrush or sponge to clean the burners of the gas stove. Set them aside along with the grates.
3. 3 Rinse all parts of the cooking zones and grates. Rinse the grates and burners of the gas stove thoroughly with fresh warm water. Be sure to wash off any traces of soap.
   • If the parts are still dirty after using the dishwashing detergent, try using a stronger detergent to remove the burnt grease.
4. 4 Dry the cooking zones and grates. Place the wire racks and cooking zones on a dish drying mat to dry. If you need to dry parts quickly, simply wipe them off with a linen or paper towel.
5. 5 Place the burners and grates back on the stove. When all the individual parts of the gas stove are completely dry, return them to their original places. The gas stove is now ready for use again.
