How to Clean Gas Burners Without Scrubbing

Cleaning gas burners can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to scrubbing off stubborn grime and grease. Here’s a simple, no-scrub method to get your gas burners sparkling clean:

What You’ll Need:

• Ammonia
• Sealable plastic bags (large enough to fit your burners)
• Gloves
• Ventilated area (preferably outside)

Instructions:

1. Remove the Burners:

• Carefully remove the gas burners from your stove. Ensure the stove is turned off and the burners are cool before handling.

1. Prepare the Ammonia Solution:

• Pour about 1/4 cup of ammonia into each sealable plastic bag. The fumes from the ammonia will do the cleaning work, so you don’t need a lot of liquid.

1. Place the Burners in the Bags:

• Place each burner into a separate plastic bag with the ammonia. Seal the bags tightly to ensure the fumes stay inside.

1. Let It Sit:

• Place the sealed bags with the burners in a well-ventilated area, preferably outside, to avoid inhaling the strong ammonia fumes.
• Allow the burners to sit in the bags overnight, or for at least 8-12 hours. The ammonia fumes will loosen and dissolve the grease and grime.

1. Rinse the Burners:

• After soaking, carefully remove the burners from the bags. Remember to wear gloves to protect your hands from the ammonia.
• Rinse the burners thoroughly with warm water. The grime and grease should rinse off easily without the need for scrubbing.

1. Dry and Reassemble:

• Dry the burners completely with a clean cloth or let them air dry.
• Once dry, reassemble the burners back onto your stove.

Additional Tips:

• Ventilation: Always use ammonia in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling the fumes.
• Safety: Keep ammonia away from children and pets. Do not mix ammonia with other cleaning products, especially bleach, as it can create toxic fumes.
• Regular Maintenance: To keep your burners clean with minimal effort, perform this cleaning process regularly, such as once a month.

By using this no-scrub method, you can effortlessly keep your gas burners clean and efficient.
