The Best Way to Clean Your Gas Cooktop!

[@susan3037]

Just got a new gas range and I have vowed to keep it as clean as possible. This video came at the perfect time!

[@jessicabrown7353]

Future you will thank past you for doing this. My stovetop is a disaster 🫣

[@terrirojas]

Next video, how to clean the hood vent. Like, how to clean all up in there, not just the filters and surfaces. Is there a way to clean the blades of the fan/motor??? 😜 This was a video - very thorough and AMAZING results!

[@Jen_am]

I just did this for my parents, it hadn’t been done in years! It was a pain! I basically had to deconstruct the vent (take bottom panels, filters, lightbulbs out, then disconnect the fan and motor) clean each part (used dawn purple degreaser, and dawn dish soap mixed with a steamer with a hard bristle attachment) then put back together! Depending on how dirty yours is the only thing I would recommend is using a degreaser if really dirty and taking pictures with your phone step-by-step as you take apart the hood so you can remember how it goes back together, also recommend laying some protection ( I used an old towel) over your stove top if it’s gas so nothing drips down and gets in the burners!!

[@terrirojas]

@@Jen_am Wow! You're a good daughter! 😘It's only about a year and a half old, I clean the filter regularly but grease has collected and drips from the fan. Thank you for the tips, I'll give it a go and remember to take photos.

[@eugenetswong]

1) Everybody, there are hood vents with a self cleaning feature. You basically have a hole on the top, where you can fill it with water. You can fill it with some detergent, too. The collector under the fan can be removed and then you throw the water in the drain. 2) If you can remove any parts, then please consider rinsing it & the filter, in the dishwasher with no detergent. Frequent rinses will keep them clean enough; especially with warm water. 3) If you're good at making containers and contraptions, then consider making a custom collector from tip #2 to drain it directly in the sink, or a large convenient container. 4) As I proof read this, I think that I might to set up a table or something to hold up empty *LAUNDRY* detergent bottles. These bottles probably have residual amounts of detergent, which can help to lock in the grease to water, and the bottles have wide openings. An ideal container should be easy enough to put your hand in there to wash it out, if you want to. Also, a bottle is easier to carry to avoid spilling, as opposed to a flat container.

Thanks for this video. I made a vow when I first got my gas stove that I would never let those little black spots snd speckles accumulate on the tops of the burner caps. If there are 5 at the end of 1 week, there will be 20 by then end of the month, so I stay on top of that. I'm the same way with burned speckles on glass Pyrex baking dishes. No speckles!

[@kathywiseley4382]

Exactly the same. My stove is now 10 years old and looks brand new.

[@patriciacushing7448]

😂 that s actually my stove. I thought black would look cleaner than white. 😂😂😂 I was so wrong, I spend so much time chasing streaks. I purchased the Teflon type black plastic sheets. I did have to trim them a bit around the burner to fit properly. Game changer! I take them off, once a week, at night when doing the dishes. They wash off like a dream and I dry them with a microfibre cloth and put them back on after I give the stove a quick wipe down. ❤

[@desertfish6239]

Thanks for the tip. We bought a stainless oven with a black stove top. I absolutely hate the black stove top. It seems so much harder to clean.

[@slimwest41]

I've waited a long time for this moment. No more having my stove look like a meth lab!

[@cs_fl5048]

Dawn is the boss in my MANY years of experience....

[@jennyrosd2003]

Never forget the tile behind. I always do that first so I don't resplatter the stove top.

[@coriel2597]

I put all grates and parts in empty dishwasher. I add a cup filled with vinegar on the top shelf. Run on regular cycle with regular soap pod. The entire thing comes out gorgeous. Clean as a whistle. I just did this the other day. NO SCRUBBING’. Make sure to let the drying cycle finish before removing the grates.

[@DaveD2488]

I do the same minus the vinegar, great idea though. I will try that the next time.

[@paulmasiello6818]

I was noticing dirty grates on my cooktop and was hoping you would do a video like this.

[@tracymcdonald6543]

I am so happy for these solutions plus you are such a happy guy. Peace.

[@cremebrulee4759]

Thanks. I have been afraid of cleaning mine because gas scares me. I was afraid I would do something that would block the gas, or create a leak and cause the stove to blow up. I appreciate knowing where to not put cleaner. I have used that ammonia method with my outdoor gas grill grates.

[@KatrinaT]

I like to spray the grates with a degreaser as I take them off and set them in the sink. I add some to the stove top, too. Then I go around and wipe my counters for about 5 minutes. By then, the degreaser has loosened up a lot of the cooked on gunk, and it scrubs off easily. I use dish gloves because I don't like the soaps and degreaser on my hands. I think you should totally do it 1-2 times a month! It makes it easier to clean and it looks nicer.

[@CleanThatUp]

Yes, Dwell time is key when clean grease!

[@KatrinaT]

I am going to try adding the oil to the cast iron grates. I have a client who put hers in the dishwasher and they have some sad, dull spots on them.

[@flgirl45]

Exactly how I clean my clients gas stoves. Awesome job!!!

[@lesliekanengiser8482]

I remove the grates and immediately put them in the sink in the order they go on the stove. As for the other parts, i remove them and also keep them in order in a roasting pan where they soak. Could i take pics? Yes. I even have before. But i forget they exist. So i just do my more difficult method. 😂😂

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Nothing like a nice clean stove top🎉

[@KenishaMillerREInv]

Thanks so much, you bring awesome value! I'm finalizing my new cleaning business so I'm sure to have future questions! What a pleasant surprise to see my name first in the credits! 🤩🤩🤩

[@katiesteinlicht2445]

Do you have a video about cleaning a stainless steel gas range? Any suggestions? Thanks

[@lynnboyce1729]

Magic eraser works amazing to remove tough spots on the surface instead of a blade scraper.

[@cassieoz1702]

For soaking, I use old fashioned laundry powder: degreaser plus alkali for dissolving protein

[@DaveD2488]

I put my stove top grates in the dishwasher they come out great!

[@MyGuyKirby]

As noted when using the razor blade scraper, be careful as it can scratch. Try using plastic razor blades or round off the edges of the metal blades. These are a detailer’s trick for painted surfaces.

[@hotrodrolfe]

I have lived in my house for 2 years....i clean the stove every night....had nooo idea that the burners could come off hahaha thank yoooou

[@bestsk8eva]

Mine don’t come off 😢

[@lisanugent296]

Mine don’t come off either. They are really gross.

[@dottyk1637]

Mine don't come off either or maybe too complicated.

[@adriiiadriii773]

The video that I've been waiting for! Thank you!

[@01Noemi]

I used Ajax instead of down and wool, and it works wonders

[@peterbenson2287]

What about just putting all the components in the dishwasher? If so, what cycle settings would be best?

[@eugenetswong]

GOOD job, Brandon.

[@olivia8979]

I switched my gas stovetop to an induction because I HATED cleaning it. It was an ordeal because it required electrical work and getting the gas line capped. But my life is oh so much easier now because the induction cleans like a dream.

[@terrirojas]

I went from glasstop to gas and am hating life. The only thing I like about it is making my tortillas on the open flame 😆

[@eronavbj]

My Dad was a janitor, and he used ammonia in that fashion. He would soak rags with ammonia and spread them in the closed oven. After a few hours, the oven could be cleaned out with clean rags, which he would then just discard.

[@carolhub8080]

Love your videos! I have a new house with new stove and am trying my best to keep it shiny like new, but nice to know a good deep cleaning method!

[@Terri.46]

Brandon, you are a modern day Felix Unger. (look it up if you're unfamiliar.) The job of janitor suits you perfectly! I wish I had a tenth of your cleaning ambition.

[@TiredMomma]

Our grates are cast iron, like a cast iron pan, so we've been taught that Dawn is never to be used for cast iron. I keep a scrubber that is saved just for the grates. One developed some rust when I did use Dawn but it ain't too bad.

[@tjd0908]

I ‘think’ I have that too? Is yours a thermadore? My stovetop is a huge pain to clean. The grates are heavy and will rust and my burners don’t lift off like the ones in this video. Ugh.

[@dsr8223]

My grates are black like cast iron, too. I just make sure I completely dry them and also put a very thin coat of oil on them after cleaning. Gotta watch for rust for sure, though!

[@TiredMomma]

@@tjd0908 the burners have to be unscrewed. Ours have 2 screws tightly put in. Ours is the brand name Amana, just a regular gas oven/stove.

[@susannovak8263]

He addressed this in the video. If you don’t dry your cast-iron grates well enough, theywill develop rust. It wasn’t the Dawn dish soap.

[@TiredMomma]

Also the gloss paint that is applied to the metal of the cover of the stovetop, can be removed, well easier for a simple gas stove top but it sure is very heavy. A metal blade is not recommend but can be used when absolutely needed, very very carefully. Little knicks in the painted surface will be noticable over time as moisture can get under the paint, but by then you'll probably be replacing your appliance anyway, lol. I'm at the point of using a blade. Hubs recently made a yummy sauce, it spilled, burnt on like streaky charcoal. Not a scrubber nor even my fingernail can get bits off. Came off no problem though for the cast iron grates, so that was interesting. 🤷‍♀️

[@carlavaladez2781]

Wooow looks great will try it

[@lynnrumsey3296]

This is so helpful! I happen to have this same gas stove. How would you clean the knobs and surface digital glass window? I used to take the knobs off my electric stove and deep clean those but I don’t think this would be possible on this stove. I just wipe them down. Do you have a video on how to use the clean cycle for the oven? Thank you. Great video.

[@Jen_am]

Not sure about the digital glass window but using some degreaser/dish soap and a toothbrush could help clean the knobs then just wipe clean with a wet rag and dry! Also, it’s extremely harmful and dangerous to use the cleaning cycle on your oven! It gets very very hot and can damage, break, and even melt components of your stove and oven! Please look at your manual or look online your model, also you can google more about this information too!!!

[@StanMo18]

Thanks for the advice

[@RitaCarter-i3q]

I have glazed cast iron grates I just put them in the dishwasher

[@manuelvaladez3662]

Hi 👋🏻 I’m sorry this is off topic but how would you deep clean a stand in cultured marble shower? How do I get the caulking to be white again? Thank you 🙏

[@cs_fl5048]

sometimes Barkeepers Friend suspension type rather than power....(oxalic acid) will cut grease..just have to avoid hard scrubbing. But don't use this with ammonia...without a MAJOR rinse in between.

[@delilahboa]

Great tips thanks so much x👍🏻🇬🇧x

[@pdj9471]

Will ammonia work on oven racks as well?

[@pennyyoung3997]

We have a chrome top. Any suggestion?

[@buddyholly4672]

Mine grates have baked on food from the past few years. I gave up. Maybe I'll try ammonia if i can find it

[@Rhondalynn3377]

My Dad took his grates outside and burned 🔥 off all the grime. Just be careful not to get them too hot because it can warp them.

[@StellaDuchessofLondon]

How often do you need to replace them?

[@jlandtube]

Can you also do a video on how to clean a toaster, please?! I love mine but it is getting build up inside.

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

Can you do this on a stainless gas cook top?

[@greenbrain8725]

Be sure to never gunk up the little igniters. The white protrusions by each burner.

[@ASongInMyHeart-tw7jl]

I throw my grates in the dishwasher😊

[@pamelastroud]

So my gas range has a stainless steel top, is there a different method for this?

[@Tara321-r3l]

My gas caps dont lift off like that on my whirlpool stove thats newer. You have to unscrew them unfortunately. Im careful so I dont have to do this.

[@dottyk1637]

I'm too worried to do that, so dirty stove for me😢

[@rishavm8628]

So cool

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

I was wondering where my lunch Tupperware went

[@printmeacoupon7974]

Use a plastic razor blade scrapper with a degreaser.

[@paschadee918]

How about an electric glass top stove?

[@dOlli3cOutur3]

Thank yooooooou! This video is a life saver!

[@jeanieallison4899]

How to clean all the crumbs etc that get caught in all the deep crevices in and around the cook top as well as counter? It drives me crazy!

[@chrisehli444]

The best way to clean a glass range to is to let the new owner from Craigslist that takes it from your driveway and replace it with a old school coil style burner range top that actually cooks correctly..

[@BigDogs-m8g]

My gas top looks very similar however the burner heads don't seem to come off? Is this possible? And they are so dirty...

[@dottyk1637]

Mine don't come off either, a few have mentioned as well.

[@fmoreira2727]

And thats why I refuse to use my gas cooktop at my new home. Bought a nice wooden board to cover the range and just cook using a super easy to clean induction portable cooktop. Much faster than gas, much less energy and I actually look forward to cooking everyday with minimal cleaning required.

[@tonywilliams4302]

Slamming the monsty!!!

[@sandyduncan6167]

I throw my stove grates in the dishwasher. I was worried that might ruin them, but years later theyre fine.

[@leeannsutherland858]

Never thought about vacuuming the crumbs first….duh!

[@jennchun]

1:11

[@bsant54]

Windex. Cloth. Grates to dishwasher. If I did it your way I'd quit cooking.

[@paulasiefert2059]

My stovetop would look that nice - if I never cooked!

[@katieodle7609]

I attempted to clean my gas stovetop a few days ago. Needless to say I was frustrated. All I could think was “I need Brandon here.” 😑

[@skyscraper37]

That stovetop ain’t even close to dirty

[@IME-q2m]

Respectful suggestion: Can you show how you tackle cleaning stovetop grates and parts IN REAL TIME on AUTHENTIC Level 7-10 grease accumulation using the Dawn Heavy Degreaser AND the ammonia so that we can see you go through your step-by-step process for each product and see the actual results for each? THAT would be MOST helpful. I'll admit that I don't wipe down the heavy stovetop grates each time I clean my kitchen, so I occasionally deal with accumulative grease, tackiness, and burned-on food. For the amount of dirt on the grates in your demonstration in this video, I could have stood them on end in the sink and scrubbed them with a plastic bristled scrubber and any generic dish soap to get them clean. I might not have even needed to remove them from the stove to scrub them clean. I appreciate people who like to share before and afters, but come on. I left your video feeling the same way I feel when people give baseboard-cleaning demonstrations on baseboards that already pass the white glove test. It's almost kind of gaslighting.

[@levialers]

Put the grades in the dishwasher

[@samanthahu4803]

that is not a dirty stovetop lol
