Cleaning Your Stove Top

Must Do!!!!!

I cleaned my stove top today.  I must admit that it was pretty disgusting.  There are two different parts to doing this.

Part 1 - Grate Directions -
1.  Put each grate in it's own gallon sized bag.  Add in a few tablespoons of ammonia.  Do not add enough to cover the grate.  The gases from the ammonia will clean the grate.
2.  Seal the bag and put it aside 12 hours or overnight.
3.  Be careful opening the bags, there smell will be awful!  Rinse of and gently scrub each grate.  The dirt and grime will easily come off.

Part 2 - Stove Top Directions -
1.  Sprinkle baking soda around on each spot you want cleaned.  Pour a few tablespoons on the baking soda (not enough to soak everything - just enough to wet the baking soda).
2.  Let mixture stand for 15-20 minutes.
3.  Wet a paper towel or cloth and wipe up your mixture.  There should be very little scrubbing as many of the stains will come right off.  I even took some of this and wiped down the top of the stove top (where the time is) and could not get over the difference.

Verdict:
5 Stars!!! - I cannot get over what a huge improvement there was in my stove.  I have tried cleaning the grates before but never the stove top itself.  It was so gross but I didn't want to spend a ton of time scrubbing.  My stove top looks brand new.  The difference was overwhelming.  It's so sad how excited this project made me.  I sent pictures to my best friend and mom because I was so excited.  I guess it is the little things in life that make you happy.
