8 Cleaning Tips For Crusty Stove Tops
Kitchen Cleaning in Houston
If things are a real mess, you may need to try a method a few times to remove it all.
Supplies*Note: Each point is a separate method…
Surface (porcelain enamel):
- Remove elements, rings and drip pans. Scrub surface with hot, soapy water then dry. Place paper towels over crusty spots and soak with household ammonia. Cover with plastic wrap to keep paper towels moist, and leave sit for several hours. Scrub again with hot, soapy water and crud should wipe away.
- Generously sprinkle baking soda around the surface then spray hot water (boiling hot if possible) over it all–enough to dissolve baking soda without making it run all over. Let soak for about 30 minutes, then scrub.
Surface, Element Rings and Drip Pans:
- Cover everything with paper towels then soak thoroughly with white household vinegar. Cover with plastic wrap then let sit for several hours. Remove the paper towels and start scrubbing, things should loosen up and wipe away easily.
Drip Pans:
- Spray with oven cleaner, place in garbage bags, seal, then let sit over night. Remove them the next day, rinse, then scrub with hot, soapy water.
Drip Pans & Rings:
- Take a large kettle, pot or roaster and fill with water. Bring to a boil. Add a cup of Cascade dishwasher detergent, stir until powder dissolves. Using tongs place the items in the pot of hot water. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off heat, cover with lid and let sit overnight. In the morning remove the items then scrub in a sink full of hot, soapy water. The caked on crud should remove easily.
- Spray with household ammonia, place in garbage bags, seal, then sit over night. Remove from bag the next day and scrub with hot, soapy water. You can also first cover the pans with paper towels, then saturate with ammonia. If it’s a hot, sunny day outside–let the sealed bag sit in the sun to add heat to the process.
- Make a paste with cream of tartar and vinegar (50/50) and slather all over items. Let sit for about 10 minutes, then scrub.
- Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil. Add 1/2 cup baking soda, stir to dissolve. Drop in the items, cover then let sit over night. Scrub in hot, soapy water the next day. If crud is really bad and won’t loosen, try scrubbing with a scouring pad first dipped in household ammonia.
