Cleaning gas stove top (Image credit: Shutterstock) For stubborn stains, make a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar in a clean spray bottle, then spray directly onto the stove top. Leave the solution to sit for about 15-20 minutes before scrubbing away at the stove top until it’s clean and spotless.

Use an all-purpose cleaner and a damp cloth to wipe down the entire stovetop, including under the burner heads and on the components themselves. For a natural solution, combine lemon juice and water in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture onto the stovetop and wipe with a clean cloth.

Use a sponge and warm, soapy water or a stove top cleaner paste made from baking soda and warm water, as in step one, to remove any remaining grunge. The paste can also be used to clean the grates and reflector pans. Use a plastic spatula or plastic knife to scrape away dried or baked-on foods on the stove top.

Start by making a paste with ½ cup Arm & Hammer Baking Soda + 3 tbsp water. Spread on the stove top and let it sit for at least an hour. Additionally, if your grates are particularly caked on, you can use this paste there as well. After at least 1 hour (and up to 12), wipe away the paste.
