2- Razor blade scraper
You probably have a small razor scraper in your toolbox or garage, but did you know they are great for removing old food? Spray the surface first, then carefully scrape away burnt food and other debris. Push it down and away with gentle pressure. If you don’t have a scraper, you can buy one at a hardware store. Rubber scrapers are also an option.

3- Ammonia
Whenever you work with ammonia, ventilate! For this method, you need to gather rags or paper towels and plastic wrap to cover them. This method is very effective for areas around the burners where dirt accumulates. You can remove the material from the burner if you wish.

Place rags or paper towels around the edges of the burner where they get very dirty. Pour ammonia on the rags until saturated. Use a small cup or spoon if necessary. Cover the stove top with plastic wrap for at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove the covers and wipe off.

4- Vegetable oil

It may seem counterintuitive, but oil actually helps remove grease stains from your cooktop. Put olive oil or another vegetable oil on a paper towel and wipe down your greasy stovetop. Try it on knobs, range hoods and the control panel too!

5- Baking soda + hydrogen peroxide
Combining these two household products can help you clean your stovetop. Mix ½ cup of baking soda with enough peroxide to make a thick paste. Apply it to your cooktop and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wipe off any gross areas with a soft sponge or paper towel.

6- Lemon + Salt
