Today I am going to help you with your kitchen stove. Most people do not like cleaning their stove because they think it is to hard to do. We can clean the most cooked on stove in about 20 mins. tops.
The first thing is to get your area ready. Make sure the sink is empty so that you have room to work. If you have a stove like the one here on the right these grates are really easy to clean if you fill your sink up with warm sudsy water. I recommend Dawn because it cuts the grease really fast. while these are soaking just take your sudsy towel and clean the inside of the stove. The suds and warm water will just clean this right up. And if you do it before going to bed it wont have time to get really hard. After you have cleaned the inside and have it looking all shiny just wipe all the knobs and outside surfaces. Take a dry towel and polish right away and you wont have any streaking.I always recommend microfiber cloths.
Now go to the sink and usually all you have do is wipe the grates with your sudsy towel rinse then dry before putting back in place. Even if it is really cooked on and hard just let them sit in hot sudsy water longer. The longer they sit the less you have to scrub. You want to dry the grates before you put them back so that it doesn’t cause rust spots where they sit on the stove top. Also on your gas ranges you want to turn on the burners for just a second to dry out the water that might have gotten in them when you were cleaning.
Next time I will show you how to get your ceramic glass stove top clean.

Hi Jan,
As always, great tips. I don’t like to clean the stove but with your tips, it seems like it is easy. Thanks!
Great tip. Will pass on to many. I love a clean stove.
Great tips! I have a stove similar and it can be a pain to clean. Sometime the coating on those grates are stubborn. If they get really bad I put them in the sink and spray Easy Off Fume Free and let them sit over night. Works every time!
Awesome – thank you! I didn’t mind cleaning my smooth top stove but this gas stove is a nightmare! Thanks Jan!
Excellent tips, Jan! I have the ceramic glass top on my stove, so looking forward to your next post!
Great. I have a couple secrets we use 🙂

Great tips! Thanks for sharing Jan.
You are so welcome Vicky. Have an awesome week 🙂
How did you know it was time to clean my stove! Thanks for the advice. Only because I read this today did I discover the secret is using Dawn … is there a message here? LOL. Continued success!
Of course Dawn lol 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today 🙂 Have an awesome week!
Excellent cleaning tips for hard to clean stove tops…I hate cleaning, by the way!
I hope my tips will help you if you do have to do it. Or help you make a great choice when you do outsource 🙂
Great! All I need are the suds and to let it sit. I remember in the past, I had let the grates sit in water TOO LONG thinking that it would make it easy to scrape. Next thing I knew, they started to RUST! EEK!
Oh no 🙂 Yes the key is when soaking them not to let the water get cold, because then the grease or food you are trying to get loose then gets hard again and yucky. Also they will rust. 🙂
well, Jan I love your cleaning tip here and I love a clean stove;I definitely am going to do this method!!
Great info Jan, and no chemicals, even better! I am a clean freak but surprisingly my stove is not so tended to. Maybe now it will be.
Suzanne, it is quick and easy if you know the tricks 🙂
I love all your cleaning tips. Thanks Jan!
Thanks Mandy!! Have an awesome week 🙂
My oven is not too bad. I will still take note of these tips. Looking forward to the ceramic top tips!! 🙂
They are coming soon! I have been swamped with new business this week 🙂
Dawn is one of my main go to “cleansers” especially since moving into our RV camper. Love your tips Jan!
Oh yes this is a great product for Rv’s. Thanks Kim 🙂
Thanks for the tip about turning on the gas for a minute, I did not know that! You ARE the best when it comes to all things cleaning.
It helps to dry out the inside and makes sure nothing gets hard in the little openings.
Excellent tips! I want that stove! 🙂
Nice isn’t it Carl 🙂
Wow Jan! This is great! I appreciate my Dawn much more now, lol. You have inspired me to clean my stove every night! I have always dreaded cleaning the stove… I keep up with the top, but the inside usually takes me a while to get to. Am I wrong to place aluminum foil at the bottom, and just replace it every so often rather than cleaning the inside regularly?
This is excellent to do! It will catch the drippings which cause all the problems in the first place. Makes the cleanup even that much more easier! 🙂
Great Tips, Jan! Thanks for sharing and I sure wish you lived close to me !
