FAQ
Q: Is ammonia safe to use in the kitchen?
A: Yes, but always use it in a well-ventilated area and never mix it with bleach. Use gloves and keep pets and children away while soaking.
Q: Can I use this method for electric stovetops?
A: No, this method is specifically for removable gas burners. Electric stovetops require a different cleaning approach.
Q: What if my burners are rusty?
A: This method helps remove grease and buildup but not rust. If rust is present, use a vinegar soak followed by a baking soda paste scrub (only on the rust spots).
Q: How often should I clean my burners?
A: Ideally every 4–6 weeks, or more often if you cook frequently and notice grime buildup.
