Using Automotive Degreaser to Clean my Stovetop

My stove top was in desperate need of cleaning and I was out of my kitchen cleaner. I had heard good things about automotive cleaner/degreaser, so, I grabbed a bottle of it from the automotive aisle at the dollar store. Did it work? You bet!

GRAMMA ROSE Please move your butter & other jars next to the stove. I don't want your food to get contaminated. I use the purple Power all the time. After you get done cleaning with it make sure you use soap & water to rinse all the surfaces.. So no residue of the purple Power is left behind. I also shut my pilot light off when I'm using it on my gas stove. It is an awesome Degreaser that we use on the farm & our household.. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS💞🌹😊

Would it work on the black panted stoves? Worried ill damage the paint since the bottle says to not spray on painted surfaces

Gramma Rose I can't believe you used a green scrubby on your stovetop! It's my understanding that they can make micro abrasions. I'm a big believer in the magic of science so I spray my grungy things with warm water and sprinkle baking soda over all putting a thick coating on any large patches. Let sit for a few minutes then hot water on my micro fiber or sponge to wipe up. And if I forget the baking soda is there and it dries I need only to spray with water again. Toughest drips get extra attention with some baking soda on the cloth or even old toothbrush for the cracks. The pilot light is a help in this case cause the baking soda and water mix works best when heated. Been using this method on my glass dishes and pots and pans for years .(burned mac n cheese spring to mind when my daughter was learning to cook 😀 ) Hope you don't mind my buttin' in, but if so let me know.

Of course I don't mind you butting in! You're right. Baking soda works for all kinds of things, and I use it for most things, but I think it's because this stove is almost 60 years old and all those micro abrasions are already in place, sometimes it takes a hammer to clean around the burners.

Gramma Rose's Homestead LOL You are gracious and totally right about the older appliances! I often envy your pilot lights. Glad you decided to use the gloves, btw.

Can I use it to clean inside my oven?
