How to Clean Burnt Stovetops: 2 Simple and Effective Tips That Actually Work
A burnt, greasy stovetop is one of the most common (and frustrating) messes in the kitchen. Whether it’s boiled-over soup, splattered oil, or baked-on spills from last night’s dinner, the result is the same: a grimy, stubborn layer of gunk that doesn’t come off with a simple wipe.
But don’t worry — you don’t need harsh chemicals or hours of scrubbing to restore that stovetop shine. Here are two incredibly simple, effective, and budget-friendly tips to clean burnt stovetops and make them look like new.
🔥 Tip 1: Baking Soda + Vinegar (The Classic Combo)
Best for: Light to moderate burnt-on messes on gas or electric stovetops.
Why it works: Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that lifts stains, while vinegar helps break down grease and adds fizzing power to loosen burnt bits.
✅ What You Need:
- ½ cup baking soda
- ½ cup white vinegar
- A small bowl
- A soft sponge or microfiber cloth
🧽 How to Do It:
- Sprinkle baking soda generously over the burnt areas of the stovetop.
- Pour white vinegar over the baking soda. It will fizz — let it bubble and sit for 10–15 minutes.
- Use a soft sponge to gently scrub the surface. The grime should lift easily.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry with a towel.
Tip: For tougher spots, place a warm, damp towel over the area for a few minutes before scrubbing.
🔥 Tip 2: Hot Soapy Towel Soak
Best for: Tough, baked-on food and greasy spots that won’t budge.
Why it works: Heat helps loosen dried messes, and dish soap breaks down grease. The damp towel acts like a mini steam cleaner right on your stovetop.
✅ What You Need:
- Dish soap (degreasing kind works best)
