How to Deep Clean Stovetop Grates & Burner Caps

This baking soda and vinegar (or ammonia) method is a proven, effective way to dissolve baked-on carbonized grease and food without damaging the grates.

Required Materials

• Primary Cleaners: Baking soda, white vinegar (or lemon juice)

• Tools: Large sink, basin, or disposable aluminum baking tray, hot water, abrasive sponge or non-scratch scrubber

• For Heavy Buildup: Steel wool (for cast iron/enamel only—not for coated grates), heavy-duty degreaser, or household ammonia

• Protection: Rubber gloves, and optionally, eye protection

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Remove & Prepare

• Take the grates and burner caps off the stovetop.

• Place them in a large sink, a plastic basin, or a disposable aluminum foil tray (ideal for the ammonia method).

2. Apply Cleaning Paste

• In a bowl, mix baking soda with just enough water or vinegar to form a thick, spreadable paste.

• For extra power: Use a 50/50 mix of baking soda and salt with vinegar for added abrasiveness.

• Using a brush or your gloved hands, smother the grates completely with the paste, focusing on the crustiest areas. Ensure all surfaces are covered.
