It depends on the angle. Practice it on something you don't care about and you'll see there's a way to scrape something with a razor without scratching it.
The key is cleaning it after each use. Make it a habit to wipe down the counters and stove after you do the dishes everyday. When you let it get to this point and it’s old and hard, then it’s a pain.
My suggestion for what it's worth of the chemicals I would wipe off the easy off with a damp cloth a few times before you use the dawn. you do not create a chemical mixture. Trust me, I've been chemically poisoned. You don't want it happening to you, and Easy-Off is a very harsh chemical remover, and combining the two would make a very bad toxic cloud that you would be breathing
.....Thank you. I was going to mention That very same thing.... you need damp cleaning towels. Even Handy Wipes or whatever to take that off and you need hot water because it is a chemical. And if you want to throw the Handy Wipes away, then that's fine, but you can't use a dry paper towel because it will leave residue behind. And if you mix that with another cleaner, yes, you could create a toxic fume. And it's" not a pretty thing. " I am a former Professional Organizer/ Housekeeper...and I also used a few Non Toxic cleaners that are great. I have to wonder if she does research before she starts Cleaning , or if she really understands that when you're doing heavy duty cleaning like that , you have to know exactly what you're dealing with so as not to create toxic fumes.
Instead of Easy Off, I use Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser. Scrub with a Scotch Brite scouring pad (or similar) and the grime comes off. Wipe with Windex and surface looks like new.
Yeah....I never let my stovetop get that dirty. I always clean it after every use. This is my rule concerning everything in life. The sooner you deal with a problem, the easier and quicker it's gone. Otherwise, those minor problems become major issues. I used to work for a cleaning company back in the 70s when I was in college. Soaking is the key...not scrubbing. In this case, the stovetop is shaped like a "pan" for a reason. 😉 When it comes to cleaning almost anything, soaking is the magic wand, no matter what product you use; even baking soda.
Exactly! It’s so much easier to maintain it after each use. I’m from the Caribbean and cleaning the counters and stove is a part of washing the dishes in our households😂
@@DubKc I put water and vinegar in an empty spray bottle and just spray anywhere there's a mess. I also do this with laundry like stains on beds, stains on clothes, messes on a wall, cleaning the tub, kitchen stove etc.
I think I also scratched mine with a metal scraper so I bought some plastic scrapers from Amazon for doing this in hopes it doesn't scratch the black coating. I can't say if it will scratch or not yet, but hopefully not since it is plastic.
Because you did it wrong. You need to hold the razor as flat as possible as parallel to the surface as possible and then kind of push. If it's too much of an angle, it pokes and stabs which causes the chips.
Get St Moritz spray, put them in a trash bag, spray all over, close the bag, leave for an hour or more, then rinse under water and they will be like new.
Thank you so much for the tips. What about the grates? Mine don’t look black anymore. Some parts are lighter than the others. Any tips on cleaning the grates? Lord knows I need you in my life right now. ❤❤❤
....Usually. the top cover lifts up to clean under that. Just be careful with using certain products , .. do not use the Oven Cleaner. I've had that kind of stove ,and I would use a Vinegar / Very Hot Water / Dawn blue dish soap mixture,( you only need a few drops of the dish soap) ...using a dishrag, saturate the dish rag. Wring that out onto the surface, carefully. Let that sit a few minutes, then scrub with an SOS pad, or a Dobie Scrubber .. wipe clean with clean Hot Water. Be sure to wear heavy duty cleaning gloves.
Sorry but it gets bad because you’re not the only one person using the stove and then trying to clean up afterwards becomes a huge difficult task. Don’t judge is what I’m saying…
I have the Easy Off but it’s too toxic.. I only use it to clean my oven.. the toothbrush method is a good hack.. then maybe I’ll cover while I wait in case I forget .. I have cats so I’m apprehensive with strong chemicals. But yes., good idea!
After you remove "most" of the easy off you add another cleaner? Nope. No. I'm going to be rinsing thoroughly, repeatedly, before using anything behind oven cleaner! #science
Do you have am alternative to easy off? Even the "fume free" makes me chuck with all the windows open and fan on. With the after effects of a migraine.
Oh thanks great tips . I still have many questions how about the metal grates? if its greasy and also the unders of the burner things can get dirty too. thanks again.
Who’s going to tell her the burners usually come off too? Lol and to keep the oven cleaner from drying out, you cover it in cling wrap so the cleaner can do its thing
My issue is getting the grates clean without etching the coating. I wipe them after each use but over the holidays sugar got “cooked” onto them and now they are slightly discolored brown. I know from previous gas stove cleaning fails that the wrong cleaner can strip the coating so… any suggestions??
Thank God for this. Not being mean but I'm so tired of going to people's homes and seeing that the stove has damnear NEVER been cleaned.. 🤦 not in a mean way, just a sanitary way for them and their family. Also many don't know that you should lift your stove and clean under as well as pull the stove out and clean behind. Built up grease and dust behind can lead to fires. I've pulled out some stoves before and been SHOCKED 😳 at what's behind
Beautiful…i do know how to clean gas stove top but not confident about using Easy Off on enamel. What about grates? I use a spray on degreaser than let sit & run through dishwasher on hot hot water heavy duty cycle.
I just use a sink of diluted pin sol in hot water and a microfiber cloth. Works great! My grates are not seasoned and can be thrown in the dishwasher which is what I do instead of needing to soak them.
I am really surprised the razor did not "nick" the black enamel!
It's because you're doing it flattened like you're peeling something. You're not doing it from above and stabbing or poking it.
Yeah I was afraid it would scratch it.
It will scratch it, you have to be very very careful
It depends on the angle. Practice it on something you don't care about and you'll see there's a way to scrape something with a razor without scratching it.
Where can I find that scraper?

Great advice 👍🏼
Exactly! Clean my stove every time I use it and it never gets that bad!
Ain't nobody have time for that😂

Nice! I always clean my knobs too.
We just cover the stove in foil and replace it when it gets too dirty. It’s good if you cook multiple times a day especially w a big family
i used to do that until it caught in fire once 🤦🏼♀️

@@NomadicIslandersthat’s the way I was raised
@@NomadicIslandersFACTS! In addition to the floors & the appliances! My parents did not play 😮😂😂😂❤
Just do vinegar and hot water, it's the best thing since sliced bread used to be lol
Agreed and I add dish soap
Do you let it sit? Do you just wet the towel then wipe?
@@DubKc Exactly, if you let it sit for about a minute, it cleans everything up faster. It starts bubbling and then you wipe.

@@YahtzeeeeK awesome! Thank you so much 🙏
I love the dawn power wash for this. You did so great! It looks beautiful.
I like it too but hate the smell.
Does the Dawn Powerwash work so you don’t have to use easy off? I hate the strong smell!
@@bernadettechute7998 I can’t stand easy off! Way too toxic. I personally find that Dawn works just as well for my messes
Vanessa did the correct job! ❤
I used a scraper but it left scratches 😞
I used a regular sponge and barkeepers and I scraped the shit out of my old stove 😅
Idk what's safe at this point.
Barkeeper and scrub daddy scouring pad worked wonders for me. No scratches at all.
I think I also scratched mine with a metal scraper so I bought some plastic scrapers from Amazon for doing this in hopes it doesn't scratch the black coating. I can't say if it will scratch or not yet, but hopefully not since it is plastic.

What if your entire stovetop is stainless?

Exactly
She has video going over how she cleans them! Try using a pumice stone, they work wonders 😊

What about under that top cover where the burners are. My gas range isn't this nice lol. It has pilot lights
J😢

What about the crusty on the burner silver or gray part?
use a tooth brush
And that part is usually aluminum. Oven cleaner isn't nice to aluminum.
Brillo pads or SOS pads
I cleaned my stove top today🎉
Me too
If you clean it after each use, like most people do, you will not have this problem.
Sorry but it gets bad because you’re not the only one person using the stove and then trying to clean up afterwards becomes a huge difficult task.
Don’t judge is what I’m saying…
🙄😂😂😂
@@Anastasia-np1mjI don't think they were judging, they were just saying how to avoid a dirty stove.
Most people don't clean after each use. You clean freak!
@@chelyhappy7991 If 3 minutes of stove cleaning makes me a clean freak you must be an absolute slob.

My scenario too! I hate to use strong chemicals. I know my kitties don’t need to breathe it either! I will try Mr Clean
My barkeeps friend works well
I use a spoon instead of a razor. Mr Clean and Dawn Dust detergent is your best friend
I saw your video reel for the 1st time last night and I'm glad I watched It...This is the business I want to get into...
Could you do one on how to clean the grates properly?
just posted 🩷
When are you gonna do longer videos… I love the short ones but we need longer ones all love
Dónde puedo comprar esa navajita para comprar para limpiar mi cocina ❤❤❤
New sub!
Most hobs are stainless steel so this is pointless. Mine is ceramide glass so needs special cleaners but it wipes clean in a jiffy.
"My gas stovetop" you lost me there 😂
Wow thank you
Excellent video 👍
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! My stove has never been this clean since we bought it. Looks like new ❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing you knowledge 🥰🥰
What about a stainless steel gas stove? I never see anyone help with that type.

You surely gave me an idea with my gas stove. I'll definitely do this. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thx so much for these videos ❤❤❤❤
Great video! Thank uuuuu
Was that the brand gain for cleaner? Is it similar to dawn powerwash?
Yes and yes! 😊
I wouldn't trust that
Oven cleaner closed my lungs, so because it works good its hazardous
Thanks for sharing ❤
I’m afraid to apply products on stove top. I’m afraid of ruining the surface c
If you don't have razor blades handy, you can use an old gift or similar.
Looks GREAT
On point 🤗
Omg. My stove top is so bad. 😭 thank you! I was going to buy a new one. Lol.
Amazing thanks for your effort

Oh thanks great tips . I still have many questions how about the metal grates? if its greasy and also the unders of the burner things can get dirty too. thanks again.
What do you use to apply on the stove over night?
Why don’t you use a plastic scraper? That would help not to accidentally remove the black paint.
Who’s going to tell her the burners usually come off too? Lol and to keep the oven cleaner from drying out, you cover it in cling wrap so the cleaner can do its thing

Can you show how you do the grates?
How PRETTY 😍

The oven cleaner will destroy that stove .... wrong information
Do you ever remove the silver cover that houses the ignition and gas line?
Doesn't the black paint come off if you leave it all night?
No. It was designed for use on the paint used on stoves and in ovens.

Good job.
Removing the seasoning...the food you drop when cooking just won't taste as good when you "5 second rule" it.
Gotta try this
