If this dirt gets into the burners and remains there for a long time, unattended to, it might result in a reduction in the burner’s efficiency, and can even damage the burners completely. This is why you should always thoroughly clean your burners regularly to ensure that they are rid of anything that can cause them damage. Always inspect the burners as well for any sign of rust, corrosion, and other signs wearing off. To replace a stove or cooktop burner is quite very easy and recommended. You should try to change your burner either once or twice a year depending on how much you use them, and how quickly they wear off.

Before cleaning your stove or cooktop, however, you should make sure that they are not plugged to electricity. And if you use a gas stove, turn off the gas supply. Do not clean your cooktop while it is hot, allow it to cool down completely before cleaning it.

Also, do not pour or spray water directly on the control panel of your cooktop. Doing this might damage the electronic parts. Instead, use a damp cloth or foam to gently wipe off dirt away from such parts.

Make use of the appropriate cookware

Do not just use any type of cookware when cooking on your cooktop or stove. Cookwares with flat and smooth base are most recommended for your cooking. This smooth and flat base helps the cookware to maximize contact with the surface of the cooktop and thereby preventing it from scratches. The best types of cookware for your stove are those made from weighted aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, as well as those made from carbon steel.

Use dedicated cleaning products

Whenever you chose to clean your cooktop, you should be mindful of the products which you use in cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal-based cleaners, or hard sponges when cleaning your stove as they may cause scratching and defacing of the stove.

There are dedicated cleaning products for cooktops and stoves that you can purchase and use to clean your appliances. Soft sponges, cloth, baking soda and vinegar are examples of readily available household items that can be used to clean stoves and cooktops.

Clean spills instantly

If the base of your Cookware is dirty, cooking on the stove with it can lead to hard-to-remove marks on the cookware and the stove. To forestall and prevent this kind of issue, you must always make sure the base of your Cookwares are as clean as possible.
