Before you begin, gather the following supplies:
- 50 ml (about 3 tablespoons) white distilled vinegar
- Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda, not baking powder)
- An old toothbrush
- Water
- A large pot or heat-safe bowl
- A microfiber cloth
- Optional: a piece of cardboard for removing stuck debris
Pro Tip: Always check your stove’s user manual before starting. Some stove models recommend turning off the gas supply before cleaning.
How To Clean Hob Burners
- Boil enough water to fully cover the burners in a pot or kettle. Once the water is boiled, pour it into a large bowl and mix in the white vinegar.
- Carefully remove the burner caps and burner heads from your stovetop. Place them into the hot vinegar-water solution and allow them to soak for at least one hour. This helps loosen grease and grime.
- After soaking, sprinkle baking soda directly onto the burner parts. Use an old toothbrush to gently scrub away residue, paying close attention to small crevices and holes.
- Rinse all parts thoroughly under warm water and dry them completely with a microfiber cloth. Proper drying is important to prevent rust or moisture damage.
- Once everything is fully dry, place the burner components back into their original positions. Turn on the stove briefly to ensure the burners produce a steady and even flame.
