How To Clean a Stove: Step-by-Step Guide With Baking Soda & Warm Water

To clean a stove, you will need to remove any burnt-on food or debris from the stove's surface and interior. Here are the steps to clean a stove:

1. Start by removing any removable stovetop grates or burner covers and placing them in a sink or bathtub. Mix a solution of warm water and dish soap, and use it to scrub the grates and covers clean. Rinse the grates and covers thoroughly and set them aside to dry.
2. Next, mix a solution of baking soda and water to create a thick paste. Use a sponge or scrub brush to apply the paste to the stovetop, including the burners and any other areas with burnt-on food or debris. Avoid using the paste on the stove's control panel, as it can damage the buttons and controls.
3. Let the paste sit on the stovetop for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow it to break down any burnt-on food and grease.
4. After the paste has had time to work, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the paste and any debris that has been loosened. Be sure to scrub any stubborn areas with a scrub brush or scraper.
5. Once the stovetop is clean, use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the rest of the stove, including the control panel, knobs, and exterior surfaces. Be sure to avoid getting water on the heating elements or control panel, as this can damage the stove.
6. After cleaning the stove, replace the grates and burner covers, and use a cloth or sponge to dry the stove completely.
7. Finally, turn on the stove to burn off any remaining moisture or cleaning solution, and then allow it
