Cleaning a stainless steel gas range is a fairly easy process that is best executed using a variety of methods depending upon the mess you’re cleaning up. Stainless steel, in general, has an tendency to show fingerprints and other smudges.
Caked-On Messes
For thick messes, it is best to soak the affected area to soften up the mess. To accomplish this, simply dampen an ordinary dish towel and sit it on top of the affected area for 2 or 3 hours. When you remove the dish towels, the mess should wipe up easily.
Tough Messes
If the mess is resistant to the soak, you may have to use a commercial range top cleaner. These products are abrasives and specially formulated for cleaning even the worst stainless steel appliances.
Regular Cleaning
For everyday wear and tear, rubbing alcohol is the ultimate cleanser and sanitizer for your stainless steel gas range. Use it on a daily basis to return the stainless steel to an attractive shine. Rubbing alcohol naturally combats everyday messes, leaving your range lustrous.
