How to Clean a Greasy Stovetop

Grease can be persistent, but with the right approach, you can restore your stovetop to its original shine.

Method 1: Dishwashing Liquid & Hot Water

You’ll need:

• Microfiber cloths

• Hot water

• Dishwashing liquid (preferably one designed for cutting grease)

Steps:

1. Dampen a microfiber cloth with hot water. (Hotter water helps loosen grease, but be careful not to burn yourself!)

2. Wipe the stovetop, removing as much grease as possible.

3. If residue remains, mix a few drops of dishwashing liquid with hot water.

4. Dampen a fresh microfiber cloth in the soapy water and wipe down the surface. Repeat as needed.

5. Buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth for a polished finish.

Method 2: Baking Soda Scrub

You’ll need:

• ¼ cup baking soda

• 1 teaspoon of water

• Microfiber cloths

Steps:

1. Make a paste by mixing baking soda and water.

2. Apply the paste to the greasy areas of the stovetop.

3. Gently scrub with a microfiber cloth.

4. Rinse the surface with a damp cloth until all residue is removed.

5. Buff dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

How to Get Rid of Grease on Stove Burners & Rings

Burner rings often collect thick layers of grease and require extra care.

You’ll need:

• Microfiber cloths

• Cream cleanser

• Plastic spatula

Steps:

1. Apply a cream cleanser to the rings or burners and let it sit for five minutes.

2. Wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. Repeat as necessary.

3. For tough spots, wrap a microfiber cloth around a plastic spatula to apply extra pressure without scratching.

4. Rinse thoroughly and polish with a clean microfiber cloth.

Bonus Tip: Prevent Future Grease Buildup

• Wipe your stovetop after each cooking session to prevent grease from settling.

• Use a degreasing spray weekly to maintain a clean surface.

• Place aluminum foil under burners for easy cleanup.
