How to Get Rid of Clogs in Your Stove to Increase Capacity and Save

Make sure the stove is completely cool before you begin cleaning. This will ensure safety and prevent burns.

2. Remove Burner Grates and Drip Pans (if applicable)
If your stove has removable burner grates and drip pans, take them off and set them aside. Most of the debris or food splatter that clogs burners accumulates here.

3. Clean the Burner Grates and Drip Pans
Soak the grates and drip pans in warm, soapy water. If there's grease or burnt food, you can add a bit of baking soda to help lift it.

After soaking for 10-15 minutes, use a scrub brush or sponge to remove the residue. You can use a toothbrush for any stubborn spots.

4. Clear the Burner Holes
If the burners are clogged (especially in gas stoves), the holes where the flame comes out might be blocked by grease, food, or debris.

Use a toothpick or a pin to gently clear out the holes in the burner.

Be careful not to push debris further inside. If the holes are still clogged, you can use a bit of vinegar and baking soda to loosen it.
