Cleaning a hard to clean gas stove top
I have this stove:
And the top is EXTREMELY hard to clean. It's ridiculously hard to get any spilled messes up from the burners, so as a result the top of the stove always looks grimy. I hate this stove and can't wait until we have the money to get another one, but we are stuck with this for the foreseeable future.
Can anyone recommend a cleaning product or technique for cleaning a hard to clean gas range?

Brillo will scratch the crap out of the stove.
I use baking soda and warm water to clean the burnt on parts. Make a little paste, let it sit and then wipe away with a sponge. Repeat if necessary.
The pans and grates are soaked in hot water with a lot of baking soda and dish soap.
If you can get it, Bon Ami is another good scouring powder that does not scratch at all.
For regular cleaning I use Windex. It is the best at getting up greasy residues and makes the stove shine. It works better than 409 or Fantastic which both tend to leave streaks.

Re: Cleaning a hard to clean gas stove top
How about a handheld steamer??? I use this one on my stove, I like to clean with as few chemicals as possible, esp in the kitchen. It's a little heavy but it does a good job!

Ok, i zoomed in, not the same as mine. I have an additional grill in the middle. If you take up the grates its really easy to clean.

Re: Cleaning a hard to clean gas stove top
I have this stove and I put all the pieces that come up (12 pieces in all) in the dishwasher and they come out great...i cannot get it nearly as clean if I hand wash them..so I spot clean after each dinner and put them in the dishwasher at least once a week!

Magic Eraser is the only thing that works for us.

Re: Cleaning a hard to clean gas stove top
Mine is almost identical ( mine is stainless behind the knobs and handle on bottom drawer) it is a GE and have no issues.
Do you clean it after every use? We use either fantastic or soap and a sponge. Finish with some pledge.

I did the baking soda thing today and now I have a white film all over the part I was cleaning that won't come off!!!
I'm going to buy Fantastick when I go to the store. I tried everything else.

Re: Cleaning a hard to clean gas stove top
I have a gas stove that we were never able to clean well at all. I just resigned myself to having a stove top that had stuff burnt on it-I would clean and clean, scrub and scrub and nothing worked-I tried it all, magic eraser, fantastic, simply green, soft scrub etc etc. Well my husband found a product that works, it is called Weimans gas range cleaner. It is a spray, he found it in the aisle with carpet cleaner, heavy duty cleaner. It is worth a trip to the grocery store, my stove has never been so clean!

Good to know! I too have "settled" for what is not clean enough for me. I'll look for this product and give it a try!
In the past, I've tried Soft Scrub but it does leave some scratches if you're not careful.
