#### **5. Rinse and Dry**
Once you’ve scrubbed the grates clean, rinse them thoroughly with warm water to remove any leftover residue. Use a clean towel or paper towel to dry the grates completely before putting them back on your stove.
#### **6. Clean the Stove Surface**
While your burner grates are soaking, take a moment to clean the stove surface itself. Use the leftover soapy water (from the dissolved dishwasher tablet) and a sponge to wipe down the stove’s surface, focusing on any areas that may have food splatters or grease stains. For extra shine, buff the surface with a dry cloth once clean.
### **Tips for Maximum Effectiveness**
– **Stubborn Stains:** For tough, baked-on stains, repeat the process or leave the grates to soak longer. You can also gently scrub with baking soda for extra scrubbing power.
– **Dishwasher Tablets for Stove Tops:** If your stove burners are not removable, you can dissolve the tablet in a bowl of hot water and use a cloth to apply it directly to the stove top, letting it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing.
– **Use Gloves:** If your hands are sensitive to the ingredients in the dishwasher tablets, wear protective gloves during the cleaning process.
– **Regular Maintenance:** Clean your stove burners regularly to prevent excessive buildup. A quick wipe after cooking will keep them looking fresh and free from grime.
### **Why This Method Works So Well**
This method is perfect for both gas and electric stoves, making it a versatile cleaning hack that every kitchen can benefit from!
