3 homemade tips for removing grease that sticks to the burners in the kitchen

Cut a lemon in half and sprinkle coarse salt on the cut side.

Use the lemon half as a scrubber, rubbing directly on the greasy areas.

Let the lemon juice sit for 5 minutes.

Wipe with a damp cloth or sponge to remove loosened grease.

Bonus: The acidity of lemon juice also helps brighten the metal and removes odors.

3. Dish Soap Soak with Hot Water

Why it works: Dish soap is designed to cut through grease, and hot water helps loosen stuck-on grime.

How to use:

Remove burner grates or parts (if safe and possible).

Fill a basin or sink with hot water and add a generous squirt of grease-cutting dish soap.

Soak the burners for 20–30 minutes.

Use a sponge or brush to scrub off softened grease.

Rinse well and dry before placing back.

Note: For built-in burners that can’t be removed, soak a cloth in soapy water and lay it over greasy spots for 10 minutes before scrubbing.
