In this article we will present to you a six step tutorial which you can use to clean your kitchen stove.
Step 1: If your stove works on gas, turn off the gas valve and remove your kitchen’s electricity fuse. On the other hand if your stove works on electricity simply unplugged your stove from the wall socket.
Step 2: Disassemble your stove as much as you can ergo removal the drop pans, racks, gas burners (if you own an electric stove do not remove the electric burners), knobs and handles. Place all the removed items in one large bucket, laver or basin and pour ammonia until the ammonia covers the items. Let the stove pieces soak in ammonia for at least 24 hours.
Step 3: Now cover the floor underneath the stove with old newspaper or nylon and put on the new rubber gloves that you have bought from the home depot as the stove cleaning is about to begin.
Step4: Mix your own homemade cleaning solution by mixing baking soda, salt and several drops of water. Shuffle the ingredients together until a thick paste is formed and then spread the mixture over your stove. Make sure that you avoid the openings on your stove when you are applying the paste as you can clog them with the paste. Once that the cleaning paste is spread over the stove let it sit overnight before you wipe it clean with a sponge. If you don’t have the time to prepare your own cleaning detergent simply grab a good non-toxic commercial cleaner and apply it on the stove. Again let it sit overnight before you rinse the cleaner off.
Step 5: While the stove top is drying get the bucket, laver or basin in which you have soaked the stove elements and remove the smaller elements first. Wash the small elements with a scouring pad to remove any grease residue and then rinse the small pieces with clean water and let dry. Repeat the same procedure with the larger elements any everybody removable piece is crystal clean.
Step 6: Now that the cleaning is over, reassemble your stove and connect the stove to the electricity or gas supply.
