Cleaning the Cooker gas hob - OS

Mrs_Domino

I soaked all the removable parts in a soda crystal solution (I didn't measure I just ad libbed) and then poured some of this solution on the cooker surface. After an hour, wipe and maybe add a bit of elbow grease, or just leave longer and it should be sparkling clean!

Could you give the burners and the trivets a good overnight soak in biological laundry-detergent? That should shift everything but if it doesn't a soak in ammonia should work. That's something that should be done outside for obvious reasons

Thank you! I have a shop down the road which sells "everything" so I'm sure they stock soda crystals. I'll give them a soak overnight & see what happens! If it fails I'll try amonia! where can I get it from?

BitterAndTwisted

A decent hardware shop should stock ammonia but I'd try the bio laundry detergent before as I expect you've already got that in. You'll find plenty of other uses for soda crystals but perhaps not the ammonia although it is a good spot stain-remover for clothing and whatnot.

I don't use bio washing detergent....bad skin in our house! If all else fails I'm sure I can ask for a cup from someone!!! How about Ariel stain remover powder? Just found a trial size under the sink!!!

I just use brillo pads (or the cheapo version and then I can use one for the job and chuck cos it's black!!).

I've got gas rings as well. If they are marked with what looks like gas burns IYSWIM then I don't think these anything you can do, just one of those things.

If its burnt on stuff then I use Bar Keepers Friend

You can get it from Lakeland, but also Sainsburys/Tescos/Asda etc. Its really good and I can't recommend it enough.

I cleaned mine just yesterday,i used Astonish as mentioned by worried jim(99p,home bargains),i just pasted it onto the rings and left overnight,scrubbed off with a scourer and very hot water the next day,and used a brillo pad on some stubborn burnt on bits,all shiny and silver again now.
