Don’t scrub and struggle. Here are 6 easy hacks for cleaning your stove burners

4. Lemon Juice for Grease Cut

Lemon juice is a natural degreaser and leaves a fresh scent.

• Rub half a lemon over greasy areas or soak a cloth in lemon juice and apply.
• Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, then wipe clean.
• For extra power, combine lemon juice with baking soda for a paste.

5. Use Aluminum Foil as a Scrubber

If you don’t have a scrub brush handy, crumple some aluminum foil into a ball.

• Use it gently to scrub away grime — it’s abrasive enough to clean but won’t damage metal burners.
• Great for removing stuck-on food without scratching surfaces.

6. Steam Clean with a Damp Towel

Steam can help loosen burnt-on residue with minimal effort.

• Heat the burners slightly (make sure they’re cool enough to handle safely).
• Place a damp towel over the burners and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• The steam softens grime, making it easy to wipe away.

Bonus Tip: Regular Maintenance Is Key

Cleaning your burners regularly prevents buildup and makes each cleaning session easier. Wipe spills promptly, and give your burners a quick clean weekly to keep them looking fresh.
