Effortless Stovetop Burner Cleaning: My Nana’s Secret

Step 3: Add Vinegar

Pour white vinegar into a spray bottle, then spray it over the baking soda-covered burners. The fizzing reaction will start right away, working to break down the grease. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Soak the Burners

While the fizz is working, fill your sink with hot water. After the baking soda and vinegar reaction subsides, place the burners into the water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. If your burners are extra greasy, soak them for up to an hour.

Step 5: Wipe Away the Grime

After soaking, use a sponge or soft cloth to wipe away the softened grime. For stubborn spots, gently scrub with an old toothbrush. You’ll find the grease lifts off easily after the baking soda and vinegar treatment.

Step 6: Rinse and Dry

Rinse the burners with clean water to remove any leftover residue. Dry them completely with a towel before placing them back on your stovetop.
