But here’s the good news: you don’t have to scrub yourself into exhaustion. With a few smart tricks and common household ingredients, you can get your burners sparkling clean without the struggle.
Here are 6 super easy hacks to clean your stove burners — whether they’re gas, electric, or coil-style.
🔥 1. The Ziplock Bag + Ammonia Hack (For Gas Burner Grates & Caps)
This method is legendary for a reason.
What You’ll Need:
- A large ziplock bag (1 gallon size)
- About 1/4 cup of ammonia
- Burner grates or caps
What to Do:
- Place the dirty burner grates or caps into the bag.
- Pour in ammonia, seal the bag, and let it sit overnight (outside or in the sink for safety).
- In the morning, open it up and rinse — no scrubbing needed!
💡 Why it works: The fumes (not the liquid) break down baked-on grease and grime.
⚡ 2. Baking Soda + Dish Soap Paste (For Any Burner Type)
A gentle, all-natural combo that gets surprisingly good results.
What You’ll Need:
- 3 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp dish soap
- A bit of warm water
- Scrub sponge or toothbrush
What to Do:
- Mix into a paste.
- Spread on burners and let it sit for 15–20 minutes.

👍 Great for electric coil burners or drip pans too!
💨 3. Boiling Water Soak (The Lazy-But-Effective Way)
Sometimes all you need is heat.
What You’ll Need:
- A large pot of boiling water
- Optional: vinegar or lemon slices
What to Do:
- Remove burners and place in the sink.
- Pour boiling water directly over them and let them soak for 30 minutes.
- Gently scrub with a sponge or brush.
🔥 Why it works: Boiling water loosens stuck-on grease fast.
🧴 4. Degreaser Spray + Plastic Wrap Trap
What You’ll Need:
- Kitchen degreaser spray (like Krud Kutter or Dawn Powerwash)
- Plastic wrap
- Gloves
What to Do:
- Spray burners generously with degreaser.
- Wrap them in plastic wrap to trap the cleaner and keep it moist.
- Let it sit for 1–2 hours.

💪 For serious build-up that’s been sitting for weeks.
🍋 5. Lemon and Salt Scrub (Natural + Smells Amazing)
Good for mild grime and makes your kitchen smell fresh.

- Coarse salt
What to Do:
