Cleaning a gas stove is no fun. Greasy stains, burnt-on residues or dried deposits are difficult to remove without strong detergents and long scrubbing. This is especially true if dirt gets into the nooks and crannies of the burners or onto the cast iron grate. Are you interested in how to clean a gas stove without chemicals and effort? It turns out there are clever homemade ways to do this.

Gas stove burners – how often should they be cleaned?

When cleaning a gas stove, we do not always pay enough attention to the burners. It is a serious mistake, because the pollution of these elements has far-reaching consequences.

  • Above all, clogging the burners with grease and food residues is a fire hazard and therefore dangerous for all household members.
  • Another negative consequence is increased gas consumption, which translates into higher bills and burdens the household budget.

How often to clean the burners is mainly influenced by the frequency of use of the gas stove.

  • If you cook every day, it is a good idea to remove dirt from the burners at least once a week.
  • However, if you rarely use the gas stove, you can clean the burners once a month.
  • At the same time, do not forget that these elements should be wiped every time something burns on them, because when the burners are constantly heated, toxic compounds are released into the air.

Wait until the gas stove has cooled down before you start cleaning.
