How to Clean a Greasy Stovetop: Step-by-Step Guide

Quick answer: spray a kitchen degreaser such as EASY-OFF Kitchen Cleaner & Degreaser on the cool stovetop, let it sit for about a minute, wipe with a damp microfiber cloth, then buff dry. For baked-on spots, use a paste of baking soda and water and a non-scratch sponge.

Step-by-step: how to degrease a stovetop

  1. Let it cool. Make sure all burners and the cooktop are off and cool to the touch.
  2. Remove loose parts. Take off grates, burner caps and knobs if your stove allows it and set them aside.
  3. Spray the degreaser. Spray an even coat over the greasy areas.
  4. Wait about a minute. This gives the cleaner time to break down the grease, so you scrub less.
  5. Wipe. Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth, rinsing the cloth as needed.
  6. Buff dry. Finish with a dry cloth or paper towel for a streak-free shine.

How do I remove baked-on grease?

Mix about 3 parts baking soda with 1 part water into a thick paste. Spread it on the spot, leave it for 10 to 15 minutes, then scrub gently with a non-scratch sponge and wipe clean. Baking soda is mildly abrasive, so it lifts residue without scratching most surfaces.

How often should I clean my stovetop?

Wipe it after any greasy cooking, and give it a full degrease once a week. Grease is much easier to remove before it bakes on.

Can I use a degreaser on the microwave and range hood too?

Yes. EASY-OFF Kitchen Cleaner & Degreaser is labelled for stovetops, microwaves and more. Always read and follow the directions and warnings on the product label before use.
