You cook on the gas stove in your kitchen every day, and inevitably, the stove gets dirty in the process. Whether it is milk boiling over or oil splattering while tempering spices, the stove gets soiled daily by steam, smoke, oil, spices, and food particles. Some people give it a quick wipe with just water, while others leave it dirty all day. If not wiped immediately, this grime sticks to the surface, forming a stubborn, sticky layer of grease. If your stove has become very dirty and sticky, making it difficult to clean, try these cleaning methods:

Home remedies to remove stubborn stains from gas stoves
1. If your stove has become very dirty and sticky from daily cooking, stop cleaning it with plain water alone. Instead, use baking soda and lemon juice. Sprinkle a spoonful of baking soda all over the stove and then pour lemon juice over it. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a sponge or a soft scrubber. You will see that the stickiness and stains have completely disappeared.

2. Vinegar is also highly useful for kitchen cleaning. Mix vinegar with a little water in a spray bottle and spray it onto the stove. Let it sit for a few minutes; alternatively, you can use undiluted white vinegar for a more effective clean. Vinegar helps loosen grease and grime easily. Finally, wipe the stove clean with a damp cloth.

3. If you have dishwashing liquid, mix it with some warm water. Apply this mixture to a sponge or cloth and clean the stove; all the grease and stickiness will come off in minutes. Your stove will sparkle after a thorough cleaning. The vinegar will also kill all germs and bacteria.

4. Take a spoonful of baking soda. Place it in a small bowl and add a little water to create a paste. Apply this paste to the stove, focusing on areas with heavy grease or stubborn stains. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then gently scrub and clean it off using a soft brush.

5. Cut a lemon in half, sprinkle some salt on it, and scrub the stove. This lemon-and-salt mixture acts as a natural cleaner. You can use it to remove stubborn stains not only from the stove but also from the fridge, oven, chimney, and other appliances.

6. Spills like milk or dal often land on the burners. Soak the burners in a mixture of hot water and vinegar; this will loosen any food particles stuck in the holes. Use a brush to clean the burners, then rinse them with water, dry them thoroughly, and place them back on the stove.

How to prevent stain buildup?
Wipe down the gas stove immediately after cooking.
If oil or milk spills, clean it up right away instead of leaving it until the evening.
Give the stove a thorough, deep cleaning once a week.
Wash the burners and drip trays regularly.
Grease is difficult to remove once it hardens, so regular cleaning prevents the buildup of oily residue.
Regular cleaning will keep your stove looking shiny and new.
