[@cindyb3028]

Have you ever tried just Dawn Powerwash? I cleaned my oven, oven racks and my flattop and it worked great. I also use it for showers/tubs, cabinets, doors, anything with dirt or grease. I love that there's no fumes or chemicals.

Hi Andrea, I tried Ammonia from the dollar store as well and I noticed that the smell was not strong. Found out it is weaker, it is not full strength Ammonia. I bought name brand Ammonia and had to do it outside due to the smell, BUT it worked great!. I kept them in a bag in a plastic tub incase the bag leaked and I waited over 24 hours as well. I did use about 2 cups of Ammonia so the grate was covered upside down. It was worth the extra cost because they washed off soooo clean. I do this every fall before the holidays and then after the holidays. Since you are pregnant I would not be around full strength ammonia I wouldn't feel comfortable with that at all.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks for the tip Jody!!

[@cholman4248]

I know you like baking soda, vinegar and such...but for burner grates, I spray them with oven cleaner and let them stand a bit...then they go into my dishwasher. Amazing how they come out clean!

[@pamspicy1095]

Easy off regular oven cleaner works great to me. Warm up the isles on the stove and then spray and wait and it’s not hard to get off it wipes off very easily! Thanks!

[@marianneprice2418]

I'm a landlord and when people move out they rarely clean the stove. I use the ammonia in the bag method, but over the course of several days. In other words I scrub it then re spay and rebag, scrub re spray and rebag. Sometimes 4 times to get it all off. Many times I start with oven cleaner from the dollar store to get the top crud off. I also use the side of a spoon to knock off those final stubborn black grease spots. On surfaces that are flat I use a razor blade like you would to remove dry paint splatter.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks for the tips 👍

[@evaabe2840]

Thanks I appreciate your honesty. I just cleaned my oven & looking for natural ways to clean my burners!

[@CatHarlem]

The foam oven cleaner work great on mines. I spray on generously, let it sit for 30-40 minutes and wipes right off. I also use the foam oven cleaner on shower walls and water features.

[@Mamadriggs]

Is there a brand you find works best?

[@CatHarlem]

@@Mamadriggs Easy Off (blue & white can) It’s funny you asked this question now. I just finished cleaning my shower and faucets. They look like glass. The is key clean like normal, let it dry, then spray the oven foam generously on shower walls, floors, handles, soap dish etc. let sit 30-40 minutes, then rinse off. Everything will be shiny like new.

[@Mamadriggs]

@@CatHarlem SWWWEEET! Totally doing that this weekend! Thank you! :)

[@cindyjohnson5242]

For that burned on grease, I would use the yellow can of easy off. Spray and place grates in black plastic bags set in the sun. The heat helps the chemical work. Another thing is use a sharp razor blade scraper on a wet surface. I've also used a soft pumice stone. The thing that works the very best is a steam cleaner. Enjoy!

[@cucharlie2006]

I cleaned mine yesterday with ammonia. I let it sit overnight. It worked perfectly. The only thing is that you have you gear up with protection since the fumes can be dangerous. Mask 😷/goggles/globes/ bags for each item and plastic bags for disposal.

[@heythere6983]

Where did you buy it?

[@shelly5619]

I heard it is the ammonia fumes that clean the grates so they would have to be in an airtight storage bag

[@brandywineblue]

I understood others to say that it's the fumes in the bag that get it clean, not the liquid contacting it necessarily, and that it has to sit longer than 20 minutes. It has to sit overnight sealed tight.

[@laviniamartin1619]

Hi, I hope you have had a wonderful baby! Now 3 years old !. Goodness you have your handsful. Strength: I see that others have mentioned it. Ammonia can range from 2-10%. When you mentioned that you did not mind the smell that was a clue ! As mentioned, get the strongest from the hardware store, not a dollar store. Then you will find success. Also vinegar is also sold in different strengths. Again, use stronger for tough cleaning tasks. I could not believe that you felt you would be able to use a soft sponge to clean off burnt gunk ! I know that you used the scourer side sometimes. The sponge just causes lots of bubbles and a nuisance. Just a scouring pad works much better and is easier to manipulate. Another approach would be to use some oven cleaner, not the aerosol/spray type. That would have taken it off very easily.

[@AndreaJean]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mimiohnine]

My super awesome trick to making burnt on black gunk to disappear....get black grates!! Lol. My stove came with the grey grates like yours but I just could not get them clean so my loving husband bought the black grates for my particular stove. Big difference.

[@AndreaJean]

Love that idea Ella ❤️❤️❤️

[@joelgarcia6364]

💖 u J. I do is Cover the stove top with Paper towels where burn on grease needs cleaning then spraying & dampening ,not too much, the paper towels using a Dawn & Vinegar solution (which was shown in one of your episodes & was used clean a Shower & Tub). Letting the paper towels soak over night. In the Morning remove the towels & with a quick "wipe" it is Clean! Easy as Pie. Stay safe and thank you for the geat advice.

[@misenberg0203]

Possibly the reason your ammonia failed to clean is due to the fact that you did not use 100% amonia . The product you used also contained soap (label says sudsey amonia), and lemon essence.

[@oliviasfermi4465]

I agree I just watched another video where the creator used 100% ammonia. She pored it into the bags and the the buildup was literally falling off the grates.

[@sheilasimonds5795]

I USE THE AMMONIA TOO, BUT I PUT IT IN A PLASTIC TUB WITH A LID, WITH THE GRATES AND LET IS SIT OVERNIGHT. I USE A WHOLE BOTTLE OR TWO AND IT WORKS GREAT

[@AndreaJean]

Yes it probably needs more more more lol!! Thank you 😊

[@sheilasimonds5795]

@@AndreaJean DID MINE AGAIN YESTERDAY, TOOK OF ABOUT 90% OF THE GUNK, GOING TO REPEAT AGAIN TOMORROW TO GET THE LAST OF IT OFF. IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE SOAKING IN THE AMMONIA, IT'S THE FUMES THAT DOES THE MOST WORK OF REMOVING IT. I ALSO SET THE TUB OUTSIDE WITH THE HEAT SO IT PRODUCES MORE FUMES AND MOISTURE.

[@sharriceowens913]

Maybe because u used the lemon one..the videos I saw was without lemon

[@kiki1965]

Baking soda is always my go-to for everything! The trick is to clean that grease off as you finish cooking to keep better control of that grease caking up. Also turning the fire down helps a lot as well. 🔥🔥🔥

Chemical burned me so bad that my eye was welded shut for almost 2 weeks. The whole side of my face was like a raw scab. Easy off is seriously nasty stuff.

[@ashleighrose8115]

My only issue is I have pets and I also get severe migranes from harsh cleaning products and easy off makes me head throb every time... so I try really hard to use all natural stuff as much as I can. Do you have any other suggestions that aren't as harsh? Doesn't need to be all natural just not as brutal as oven cleaner? I've tried using dawn and that got the lose stuff off but wasn't as affective as I'd hoped... I use liquid laundry soap for My oven racks which works like a charm but idk if that would ruin the grates.

Lol 5 minutes... you should see the ones I gotta clean the burnt grease is like fuckin concrete it ain't coming off

[@Dave-ow7gy]

This is what I have done. Murphy's Oil Soap full strength; let it sit overnight and then Pressure wash. For really stubborn stains / deposits it may take two overnight coatings of MOS. That is just wipe in on full strength. I know not everyone has a pressure washer; however, in reconditioning homes for resale this method has proven invaluable. MOS is great for kitchen grease cleaning. We use it on cabinets as well and the results are very good.

[@darlenemeek2201]

I got an old pan that the grates would fit in and then I had to emerge half at a time & then turn them to get other half. I filled the pan with ammonia & water & placed it on the side burner on my grill & let it boil the yuck off. Now at least once a week I run them thru the dishwasher. Works really well to clean & stop buildup of crude.

[@Eveyjim10]

Hi 👋!! I used regular ammonia on mind and it worked great!! I’ve only done twice in the 16 yrs I’ve had it because every time I cooked I clean them. I don’t like the smell of the ammonia so I’m on top of them.

[@AndreaJean]

That’s great to hear!!! Thank you 👍

[@rbenz3010]

I had 4 burners with baked on grease that would not come off after 2 runs in the dishwasher, pray cleaners and a unsuccessful attempt at scrubbing. I was fixing to buy new ones when I saw yours and another video about using ammonia. I let them soak for 48 hrs in 1 gal ziplock bags with ammonia and the formerly impossible to remove crud fell of with running water and the really burned on stuff came off with some scraping and SOS pads. Thanks so much for your post!

[@MimiDidi121]

Amonia, every time!!! I put my grates in a big ziploc with amonia overnight. The gunk fell off in big chunks!! Once I poured amonia over my gas stovetop because I'd cooked a huge meal and didn't clean it right away and you junk was jellied and baked on. Once I poured it all over her stove top I layered plastic wrap over it. I went to bed and the next day I wiped it clean with a micro cloth. It looked new with the only scrubbing was right around the actual burner part. There was probably residue burned stuff on there for months!

[@yolandawebb3032]

I had smaller racks and I SUBMERGED them in ammonia over night i didn't have to scrub at ALL.. worked like magic!!!!!! I dont know about spraying them like that

I heard you can protect your enamel stove top from grease; by rubbing Vaseline on it once you clean it. Let it set over night and it seems to work pretty good. Just wipe areas quickly and they seem to stay cleaner better.

[@sgallagher27]

You can use a cooking oil instead when you are finished cleaning.

I purchase barbecue spray cleaner from Sam’s Club for $10 you can get three large bottles plus the sprayer! This is a very strong cleaner for cleaning barbecues, (burned grease !!! ) . So you can imagine how strong this is cleaner is!!! I lay my grades in the sink, spray them sit for a half. I respray every 1/2 hour and turning them too… The more you soak them the less scrubbing you have to do!I also I use heavy duty stainless steel scrubbing balls from the dollar store. Don’t use the sponges anything else you have to use the stainless steel balls. Some of the flat areas use straight edge razor blades with a Blade holder… (Harbor freight) One key point don’t let them get too dirty, do them at least once a month…

[@karenschramek9487]

I have the 3 of the double grates. I like the outside, no scrubbing ammonia method! I put two grates in a jumbo 10 gal ziplock bag with the top side of grate down, and I take mine OUTSIDE!!! I have hot water for my garden hose and put enough in so grates are almost covered. Then I add about 1 cup of ammonia. Close the bag, swish it around and lay it flat on ground so grates are covered. I lay it next to a drainage ditch. Let sit for about 3 hours. Then take grates out, one at a time, and rinse well with hot water hose,,, then stand up to dry for a few minutes. Then I put 3rd one in same bag to soak.. when it’s done I hose it off and let it dry While I pour ammonia water down into ditch,,, which is in my backyard on my property so no kiddos can get in it! I did this just today and used my throw away disposable Covid mask. Much better working with ammonia than without it!

Thanks Karen 👍

[@lindahirsch9027]

What if you would soak in a vinegar baking soda mixture and then hit with baking soda and elbow grease? I might try that on mine. The bonus I have is that my grates are black already, but the grime is still clearly visible! Looks fabulous by the way!!!!!! Thanks for your great tips!

Buy a XXL large ziploc bag (ex. 12 x 24) place the rack in, POUR in the Ammonia and let it sit overnight with the grate upside down so it actually sits in the ammonia. The burnt stuff falls right off.

[@kathiefrommissouriusa1462]

You can put those gray grates and the flat burner covers (with the same finish as the gray grates) into the oven on your racks when you run a self-cleaning cycle. The grates and burner covers come out clean except where the baked-on grease was bad. Then that comes out as ashes, and you just wipe them off with a cloth or sponge using a mild solution of dishwashing soap. Rinse under running water in the sink, and dry in the dish rack on the countertop. Easy. Too bad you can’t put the entire stovetop in the oven when running a self-cleaning!

[@wut2dew]

How does that work. Why does it turn to ash?

[@bellalegosi7850]

What a great idea!

[@wut2dew]

@Mark Berenger That was my thought, I was playing dumb a bit. I just feel like an oven can't get as hot as it would need to completely obliterate buildup

I have put metal pans, woks etc with grease buildup in oven self cleaning and they come out shiny. All the grease turns into Ash. It works perfectly

[@leealmeida929]

Hi I use a big rubbish thick plastic bag, you spray the whole thing both sides with straight cloudy ammonia & then leave it out in the sun for 12 - 24 hrs depending how dirty it is, then it just wipes off, you can also use a water blaster or hose,if you want it done quickly, works every time & I've cleaned over a hundred ovens when I house sit, because it's a job people hate doing & a nice surprise for them when they get home :) hope this helps, I do the BBQ outside the same way :)

Vinegar and baking soda together is the trick. Let it soak for about 15 to 20 minutes and it will come right off with no scratches.

Ammonia, one of the main components of wet diapers (I'm old, so I used cloth ones back in the good old days haha).

[@kekeboo2375]

*Update 3/7/23 I found that taking the stove grates and placing them in a container of hot water and dishwasher pods overnight will also do the trick and you don’t have to worry about the potential fumes. The next day just rinse and dispose, preferably outside because you want the grease messing up your pipes. Using 100% ammonia and covering the stove with surran wrap overnight. Also with the grids you can soak them as well in the ammonia over night(cover in surran wrap) if you have in the house or you can leave outside.

[@Tonisuperfly]

Thank you for this! I was about to use the ammonia but will now try the dishwasher pods first instead :)

Soaking anything burnt on in a wet baking soda paste is very effective

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks!

[@PDXTundra]

That’s the problem with ceramic coated grates, next to impossible to clean. My professional Kitchen Aid has cast iron grates which clean fairly easily, even if I get lazy and neglect them for several months. Also, they’re one per burner which makes them easier to clean and handle. The key to using the ammonia method is using as strong of a pure ammonia as you can find, not the scented sudsy stuff. It’s actually the fumes that remove the burnt-on grease and crap from the iron. I put each of mine in a two-gallon ziplock bag and pour in a good cup and a quarter of ammonia, seal them up, swish the bag around and leave in the garage for a day. Then take then out and scrub with a steel wool scrub pad. It just melts away with very little effort. In the case of your large ceramic coated grates, you have the right idea, but instead of using sudsy ammonia or vinegar, spray with blue-can Easy Off, seal up tight, and place in a warm environment overnight or in the warm sun all day long, or, use the type of ammonia that I suggested. If using ammonia it’s key to make sure the bags are as airtight as possible, as like I said, it’s actually the ammonia fumes that remove the cooked on grease, and you’ll need plenty of it. Pour in plenty.

[@SunnyBloxOG]

I have these exact same types of stove grates. Ugh, they drive me crazy. As soon as I see something spill on them I know I'm going to spend no less than 20 minutes scrubbing them. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway, I use Bar Keepers friend for the actual stovetop with the green side of the scrubbing sponge. Then I use a pumice stone on the gray grates. It does not scratch the finish. Ofc mine are pretty old but I have found that this is the only thing that has the power to remove those super tough burnt on stains. The pumice stone still takes elbow grease but nowhere near as much as what you had to put into this. I've also used a wire brush and Bar Keepers friend. This works too but the pumice stone works the best hands down.

[@AndreaJean]

I am definitely going to try that stone!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SunnyBloxOG]

I enjoyed your video and it is so helpful! But it appears that the white trash bags both have "V" on them; how did you tell them apart? By smell?

[@Bellemogli]

I'm not sure if you've ever tried used SOS Pads/409?. Well they do good on pots & pans BUT also do a good cleaning job on your stove top for a minimal grimy stove. 409 is more of a degreaser, disinfectant, and cleaner but it does a nice job. However 409 does have a heavy cleaning smell because it's a degreaser ect. I think the plain ammonia would of done a good job but you gotta saturate the grates completely immersed in the ammonia not just lightly spray. And of course make sure to put into a large ziplock bag.

For cleaning my stove grates, I use AJAX and steel wool. Let it soak for a few min and the stains come right off!

[@AndreaJean]

Good idea! Thank you 👍

[@cleocat562]

Borax, washing soda, or OxiClean will take it all off effortlessly.

Magic eraser and Dawn works for me every time.

I get the burnt on grease off my stove with a razor blade then an all purpose cleaner. and it gets it all without scratching.

[@bttf85]

Baking soda and vinegar, make into a paste= BOOM 💥 CLEAN 🌟 Melts right off

[@msbaja1]

Miss Mia Lynn, I use the same and I like to use a the steel wool soap pads from Brillo. Less effort than the sponge.

[@bttf85]

@@msbaja1 oh yes, I use that too! Works like a dream 👍🏼

You have to really have enough ammonia to cover your grates. If you don't have enough you might try to have papertowels inside to keep the ammonia in contact to your grates seal bag and in the morning the grease should just peel away from your grates! I use stainless steel scrubbers to get stubborn burned on stuff of my stove. Does not scratch. Hope this helps! Buy scrubbie pads online or if you have a Day so they carry them . Kathy

I used Ammonia on one of my 6. I used the pumice stick on the other 5. The ammonia worked really well removing big chunks of old concrete grease. I then used a stainless brush to get the loose stuff off and then followed it with the pumice stick. Pumice stick, about 35 min for a really bad grate. Ammonia about 10 min including prep. I soaked for about 8 hours in the sun with Safeway ammonia. My oven looks great. Next time I’ll use the combo method and try to get the little spots I missed.

So the baking soda with a strong man will get the stove clean, eh? Got me a a strong hubs! 💪 Doing the ammonia soak right now. I heard the fumes from ammonia is what cleans the burners.

I would use Dawn with vinegar, and baking soda to make a paste.

[@anavasquez8756]

What i cant seem to figure out is if the stove too grates are all made differently because i have the same grates as yours they sort of have like a rubbery coat or something on top vs the ones that are just metal ! And I can’t seem to find anything to clean mine either 100% 😞😞

Comet and a brilliant pad. Lots of elbow grease.warming them up a little helps.

[@AndreaJean]

Thanks!

i like what you are doing. add a 20v black and decker cordless drill to your arsenal and insert the appropriate size scrub brush attachment and attack the remaining spots. the drill with brush attachment will really give scrub power to the cleaning and drastically reduce the time. soaking overnight in a large plastic tray would be a good test too.

Thanks John!!! 👍
