Step-by-Step: Cleaning the Hob Burners
1. Boil the Water
Heat enough water to fully submerge the burner parts. Carefully pour the hot water into a large bowl and add the vinegar.
2. Remove the Burner Parts
Carefully remove the burner caps and burner heads. Place them in the vinegar-and-water solution.
3. Soak
Let the parts soak for at least 1 hour. This will help loosen grease, grime, and other stubborn residue.
4. Apply Baking Soda
Sprinkle baking soda directly onto the soaked parts.
