At the general cleaning, one of the most difficult questions is how to clean the grate of the gas stove. Clean every twig covered with burnt fat - hard labor, time for work goes as much as to cleanliness in the entire kitchen. The longer you put off this work, the thicker the layers of dirt and the more difficult the problem. In order not to condemn yourself to such tortures, wipe the contamination immediately, as soon as they appear.
Getting Started
Do not rush to water the slab with the latest means for removing any contaminants. First of all you need to find out what the grating is made of, and depending on this, choose the method of cleaning. If you can not determine the material by eye, look at the passport or instruction manual.
There are 3 types of gratings:
- cast iron;
- steel;
- enamelled.
Next step - pick up strong rubber gloves. You do not need to have detergents on the hands, and if there are sharp protrusions on the grill, you can injure your fingers. It is advisable to choose a model with a corrugated surface so that the slippery parts do not fall out of the hands. A rusty layer can, as a soft brush, wipe off small dirt and cinders.
Now see if the grill separates from the plate. The most difficult option, when you can not remove it and have to wash the deposit in place. If the design could be detached, see if there are any rubber or plastic parts on it, if available, remove them. If the grid can be disassembled, the work will be much easier. Small fragments at home are conveniently placed in a basin or in a dishwasher.
Cleaning of steel and enameled gratings
First, the easiest method is to load all the fragments into the dishwasher, add detergent and turn on the drying mode. While the details are still damp, see if there are any stains left. If the first time all the carbon has not left, you can try a couple of times. Scatter the most persistent burnt deposits with a blunt edge of the knife or a metal sponge.
Advice
Do not scratched the grill with sharp objects and do not use excessive force when cleaning. If you scratch the surface, the burned fat will permanently stick to the damaged areas, and each washing of the gas stove will turn into torture for you.
If there is no dishwasher or the grill does not fit into it, you will have to clean the carbide by hand. Prepare one of the formulations, apply to the surface, and after a necessary time, rinse with a brush or washcloth. Any finished product should have a consistency of gruel.
- Dissolve the soda with water. The exposure time is half an hour.

- Use a special product from a household chemical store, for example "Antiguer".Apply according to the instructions.
If the house has a steam generator, you can use it to clean gas stove parts from burnt grease. Take a nozzle with a hard brush and set the temperature to 140⁰.If the technical equipment of your apartment is not very rich and there is no steam generator, put a pan of water in the oven, and above it, secure the grate. From time to time, add fluid so that it does not completely evaporate. Under the influence of hot steam, the contaminants will begin to peel and fall down.
One more method can be used only outdoors, but children will be delighted to help you. Dilute the fire, install the grill, so that the most polluted place is above the fire. When the dirt burns off and falls off, place the next section above the flame until you have processed the entire structure. Then just rinse the smoked surface with a sponge and water with a detergent. Instead of a fire, you can use a blowtorch or other source of open fire.
Cleaning of cast iron grilles
Cast iron grilles of the gas stove can also be washed in a dishwasher or with a steam generator. If dirt remains in hard-to-reach places, they can be removed with a toothbrush and detergent. There is another option: to bring to work the husband and ask him to clean the grate with a special nozzle of an electric drill.
Before cleaning by hand, it is best to hold the parts in a detergent solution beforehand. In hot water, dilute the cleaning agent with alkaline reaction and immerse the structure in the structure.

Before work, place a foil or oilcloth under the grill to protect the burners from aggressive substances and falling dirt. The thickest dirt can be pre-burned with open fire.

To the wet surfaces, fat easily adheres, and if you leave the grate wet, it will soon become the same as it was before cleaning. In addition, the water must contain salts or particles of detergent composition, and after drying on the design there will be spots that need to be cleaned separately.
Having finished the work, think about how next time not to expose yourself to such torture and clean the lattice without much difficulty. It is not difficult to do this. The first rule: when preparing food, be careful and careful.
