3. **Submerge the Burners**: Place the stove burners into the soapy water and allow them to soak for at least 15-20 minutes. For tougher stains, you can let them soak for up to an hour. The longer they soak, the easier it will be to remove the buildup.
4. **Scrub Away the Grime**: After soaking, grab a scrub brush or sponge and gently scrub the burners. The grease and food particles should come off easily now, thanks to the dishwasher tablet’s powerful cleaning agents. Focus on any areas that still have stubborn stains or residue.
5. **Rinse and Dry**: Once the burners are clean, rinse them thoroughly with warm water to remove any leftover soap or cleaning solution. Dry the burners with a clean towel before replacing them back on the stove.
6. **Wipe Down Your Stove**: While the burners are soaking, take the opportunity to wipe down the rest of your stove. Use a damp cloth to clean off any spills or grease on the stove surface.
### Tips for Success
– **Tough Stains**: If your stove burners have really tough, burnt-on stains, you can use a second dishwasher tablet or increase the soaking time. For even more stubborn spots, try adding a little bit of baking soda to the solution for extra scrubbing power.
– **Safety First**: Always ensure that the stove is turned off, cool, and unplugged (if possible) before you start cleaning. Never attempt to clean the stove burners while they’re still hot.
– **Use a Non-Scratch Sponge**: To avoid scratching the burners, use a soft sponge or scrub brush. Avoid using abrasive pads unless you’re dealing with really tough stains.
– **Check for Damage**: If your stove burners are particularly old or damaged, make sure they’re not too fragile for soaking. Some burners might have coatings that can wear away with prolonged soaking, so check your stove’s manufacturer guidelines.
