sassenach Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Please share your best product for cleaning a stovetop that has burnt on stuff around the burner. No need for it to be all-natural or even non-carcinogenic. I just need to clean this stuff with minimal effort. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 What type of stove top is it? Enamel? Think of the cheap, white, gas stoves of the world- whatever the top of that is made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Enamel? Think of the cheap, white, gas stoves of the world- whatever the top of that is made of. You could try the above mentioned products, or try an SOS pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I find an ammonia soak cleans lots of things that laugh at other methods. With pans I seal them in a bag of ammonia overnight and the rinse clean. The trouble with a stovetop is that the ammonia will dissipate. I'd try putting it on the surface and putting a plastic bag on it overnight to keep it wet. Maybe a towel on top of that to contain the fumes. The baking road Pinterest trick did get my glass-topped stove clean, but I wasn't really trying to get it back to looking brand new. The surface is black, so a spot here or there didn't phase me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I would start by wetting a cloth putting it on the area to soak for at least 30 minutes. Then I would start in with a scrubber pad (make sure it's something that won't scratch the enamel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 You gotta let the burned stuff soak for a while. Even just soaking with plain water, though adding some soap is better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddlepatedMonkeyMama Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Softscrub cleaner and a non-scratching sponge (the kind that looks like a regular sponge but one side has a scouring material). Works great on my white enamel gas stove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Depending on what it is- Bar Keepers Friend (liquid version). Let it sit a little while. My heavy duty steamer really does work on certain things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I did and I had a truly caked on stove top. Similar to what you are saying - white enamel, ancient gas stove. I poured out the ammonia, then used the press and seal cling wrap around it. The burners I stuck in plastic bags with ammonia. It worked pretty well. Better on the stove top than it did on the burners actually.

VaKim Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well, I tried everything on mine a while back. I had some really bad burned on stuff that had been there for quite a while. I ended up using a razor blade and carefully scraping it off. Easiest thing in the world (especially after scrubbing my eyeballs out with other stuff that didn't work).

Ottakee Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Just never ever mix ammonia and bleach. Toxic...Deadly toxic fumes are created. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btervet Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I make my DH use his dremel tool with the polishing tip. Makes a mess of the kitchen but gets the impossibly stuck stuff off and leaves the stove nice and shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have a razor blade in a holder that I use for just that reason. It does help to soak it for a while..even in water. But that's not always possible depending on where it is. I will sometimes pour some boiling water on the stove top, maybe add a couple drops of dish soap, let it cool and then use the razor blade scraper. Works really well.
