I bought a new stove about 5 yrs ago and totally neglected cleaning the top around the burners. I had a really thick burnt area just like this video. I have tried every method I could find and none of them worked. I want to thank this individual for providing a real and effective way to totally clean it and restore it to almost perfect condition. Yes it did take about 3 hours, but after the neglect, it was a small sacrifice to make. If I could I'd kiss this dude on the lips. God bless you and thank you.
Thank you for posting this video. After 30 years, stove top looked new, thanks to my wife. I decided to boil green turned madrone bowls on the stove. Three hours of boiling and splatters, I thought the tannins had lifted the paint. Tried everything. After watching you video, I took some CLR, mainly for lubrication and new razor blade. Took a while, but looks brand new again!
You are the first person to actually show some real caked on grease you find in all rentals everyone shows some fake tiny stains oh the kicker was the guy who said he made pancakes for the family and tossed flour on the stove oh god but thanks i haven't watched all the way through but thos is probably going to be what i need thanks
After hours of trying to clean my stove top, that has been seriously neglected after months of me being away to take care of my mom and others in the house not cleaning after they cook, I was getting pretty frustrated. I was to the point that I didn't care if I scratched it or not. I watched many videos like you mentioned with little success. And then I saw yours! I was amazed! I got off stuff that I thought was a permanent fixture from years ago. I never write reviews on videos, but damn, I was impressed. Thank you~
This method is the ONLY one that works. Years of burnt-on crude will not come off with the store-bought stove/oven cleaners. I tried everything and using the razor blade is the only answer. And, thank you so much for offering the hints so that the stovetop does not get scratched. I watched the video twice, so that I followed the directions exactly as he stated. My stove looks brand new. Thank you!!
I was just cleaning my stovetop. It's a whirlpool same black piano finish. I tried using my nail and i could see it was actually lifting. I thought to myself perhaps I could use a razor? I stumbled across this video and confirmed I can use one. I'm ordering a razor right now and am finally going to clean that residue off once and for all. Key word to everyone after the clean up... prevention is far easier than the fix. Thanks HOwtoWith GEO!
This trick is amazing! I have tried everything in the past as you said in the beginning of the video and I almost gave up. And then I found this. Just took me an hour or so to clean all the grease and gunk that has been sitting there from more than a decade maybe! Hands down the best trick till date!!!
Worked 4 hours yesterday after watching this video. I’m 70% done. I inherited the stove, the previous owner tremendously neglected it. The caked burnt on grease drove me crazy. For sure, I tried everything!!!! It looks so much better now but still a lot to do. Thank you for the video
Your video was a great help. I was at my wits end. My stove is only 5 years old and the top looked as bad as yours. I tried everything to clean it and thought I would need a new top, or have to find a way to paint it. It actually looked like it was heat damage caused by defective paint. Seeing your stovetop looked just like mine, I figured I try your method. And damn. Within a few seconds I was elated to see Brand new paint begin to appear from under the crusty hardened surface. Using your exact blades and method, within about an hour I resurrected my stovetop and without exaggeration looks like the day we bought it. Now I know it was just hardened grease and not bad paint. Thanks for sharing this on video, it saved me from going down the wrong path. Dennis
We inherited a Wolf range with the condo we bought. It had a lot of baked on gunk that I have been trying to remove for 3 years. I watched your video, and yesterday I happily removed all the accumulated gunk! It was quite satisfying once I got the feel for scraping with the razor blade. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU!!!! I have tried everything... industrial-grade stovetop cleaners, steam guns, and alcohol gels - This took about 15 minutes to get rid of some buildup that had been there for years...I have to also say it was strangely satisfying. Thanks again!
The razor blade was so helpful! Thank you!! I soaked my stove top with dawn dish soap and hot water. And it made it a lot easier to scrape stuff off with the blade!
I came back to comment. Thank you so so much! I had tried so many things; various degreasers, oven off, baking soda & vinegar, etc. All Fails. This method really is the trick. For anyone watching this video the razor blade works! It was a little intimidating at first b/c I didn't want to scratch the stove, but it doesn't take much to get a feel for how much pressure and angle to use. Stove looks brand new😄
Totally worked - after trying all the chemicals and applying tons of elbow grease - this approach works. Thank you! Now - to keep it up. I think that's all that happened... we had this stove, brand-new, and we wouldn't clean it ALL the way... now that I know it can be done, it'll stay clean. Thanks again :)
I have used this method when I was prepping appliances for rental properties. Key instructions you explained really well as well as the caveats. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Just go slow and find that "sweet spot ".
Works beautifully. I tried using vinegar, baking soda & scrubbers & soaking to no avail. Grabbed a construction grade single edge razor blade and was done in two minutes. Thanks so much Geo!
Yes, baking soda and vinegar essentially neutralise each other. Such methods are recommended by folk who have never actually tried it themselves. Hot caustic is the only solution that will remove baked on grease. Car engine rebuilders have been using a "hot tank" forever. 'tis the only way. Razor blades? give me a break. Sorry to target you Ed, but had to say something about this baking soda and vinegar myth - as you found out.
You are a GENIUS!!! I've been wasting my time and money on heavy duty scrubbers and cleaners. $1.89 at Harbor Freight for a razor blade scraper and I'm finished!
Too bad I can only click the like button on this video one time! This is some of the best advice out there on RUclips. My stovetop looked like the one in the video. I had tried some chemicals, but did not want to use ammonia. This is simple, chemical free, and takes minimal time compared to using chemicals. I thank you so much, Geo, for sharing this valuable technique! I can't click like more than once, but I can give you a virtual high five!! 🙌
Worked like a charm! I’ve been sealingbewith this problem acutely since I switched to cast iron cookware about 13 years ago. Nothing helps! I’ve tried scraping with so many things. I don’t know why I never thought of scraping with a razor blade! Thanks!
I’ve tried basically EVERYTHING before seeing this video, and I wish I saw this video sooner because it would have saved me several days of scrubbing. Thank you
I had tried everything for years. The wells of all four of my burners were full of burned on food. Nothing moved it at all. I watched your video, copied your technique, and now my stove looks new! Thank you!
We just moved into a house and a couple of the. Irene’s looked just like this. I tried everything, to no avail. The razor worked amazingly well. Thanks so much for this video!!
Thank you Geo for wonderful and effective method of restoring my sieve top. I tried everything and bought so many different t products that didn’t work. I was at the point of using a sander out of desperation to restore my stove. Thank you so much for sharing this video my stove is like new again, It took me about 2 hours, I ended up with a few little scratches but, I was able to use a Weismann polish cleaner which helped to bring out the luster. Great video
I Just Wiped with Cleaners. What Brought you to this step. I just compared this to a painted surface. I scraped, but scratched, so i stopped. You got me started again ! Excellent !
Saved me dozens of hours after very slowly and incrementally going at this with Easy Off No Fume and baking soda. Watching an almost imperceptable amount of gunk come off after overnight soaks, day after day was very frustrating. Using a razor blade I did the equivalent of about 4-5 days of soaking and removing in about 10 minutes and didn't scratch the paint at all!
Thank you!! The stove is looking much better with your suggestions. I have to say though that my husband is the one doing the work. We would not have thought of using a razor. Thanks again for posting this and your other videos as well. Best wishes.
To loosen that kind of burnt on food or grease, first sprinkle a good amount of table salt then put some vinegar on it wait a few minutes, use a end of a spoon to scrap it it will be loose and come off. You can also use a stainless steel scrubber too with some dish soap to remove remaining residue . It really worked good for me .
Thank you so much! I just finished cleaning my mom's stovetop that had about 10 years worth of hard-to-get-off grease! Her stovetop looks brand new again! 😭😭😭
I had never thought of a razor blade, and appreciated the tips for technique. I found first soaking with white vinegar and baking soda made the job easier, one burner at a time.
That was such an unexpectedly satisfying video to watch. Although, it didn’t necessarily fix my unique problem because I’ve an induction cooktop, i much enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
Man. You nailed it. I tried almost everything you mentioned. And I still have a little bit of that on the stove. Now I'm gonna look for a blade on my husband's work tool bag😄. I'll edit my comment after I'm done.
I used a cleaner called spray 9 and let it soak for a while to help remove some but what worked for me after that was a key! I put some pressure (but not too much) and scraped at it and then wiped it with a cloth to remove everything with no scratches. So before you go running out to buy razors try a key!
I just want to say thank you so much for this video! I have tried and tried to remove that burnt on mess and you showing this was awesome. I went right out and got the little razor tool and my stove look awesome!!!
Thanks, very tedious, but worked great. I used a small lock blade pocket knife; I think the curve blade helped some. Now i need to get the burners off, but the screws are stripped and rusted on. One is not stripped yet; but the screws will not budge even with an impact driver. I got one burner off, so that helps plan for the others? Does any one have any good ideas to get the screws out and also I need new screws that fit a whirlpool gold 465 gas stove burner. I can't find them anywhere?
Here is a product out now that works pretty good even on “black” grease. Dawn Ultra now comes as Powerwash Dish spray. I had to use it on the silver part of the gas burner and it took most of the grease off the 1st time. Brown grease comes off much earlier than when it is black but you always have to be careful scraping it off.
Mine was just as bad, maybe worse. Real thick baked-on crud. This technique partly worked. But it was so thick it would not work in most places. So, I thought, it looks like hell anyway….So I took a propane torch and heated it first. Worked a charm. After years of struggle, it’s finally gone. Only worked in small sections, a few square inches at a time, being careful of not too much heat to avoid warping the metal. Very pleased with the result.
Great video. Worked great on those black grease stains. I would like to add that anyone doing this wear cut resistant gloves and safety glasses. A trip to the hospital for cutting your self with a razor blade or having a corner break off and go into your eye and you’d wish you just bought a new stove. You only got one set of eyes
Hah! A very sharp chisel, handled very carefully, will also do a darned good job. I was trying to get gunk off a stove baked on by the previous owner of the house--and there's nothing nastier than other people's gunk! Thanks ever so much! (It's not going to be a one-hour job--I'll have to go at it as my hands and back will allow, but I'm confident it will work. You rock!)
Mr Geo, you just saved me *HOURS* of futility with a toothbrush and any one of a number of assorted chemicals. *SLOW* was a key piece of info... you definitely feel the right angle when you take your time. *Thank you* : )
I am so glad i tryed this it worked . i tryed bakeind sode ,vingar,degreaser, dawn soap . i was tired . then i saw your video BINGO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Honestly I was 15 minutes from going to buy the heat resistant paint. I had already taped up the orifices, and taped newspaper all around the edge. The bumpiness made me think the metal had rusted and bubbled up unevenly. It was a used stove I just bought. It had bigger burners but I figured a little paint and it'll last long enough. I had tried baking soda vinegar the day before no difference. This was it. This is what it was. And I didn't find the right angle until half way through, and once I did, it went a lot faster. At first you're afraid to scratch the paint, but once you realize the angle, and its actually white steep almost 45*. Now I wish I had a before picture, because after it looks brand new. No paint needed. Maybe the touch up bottle for some knicked spots and corners only.
This was the perfect solution for cleaning the top of our Wold Dual Fuel range. I recommend polishing the surface with a magic eraser once all the gunk is scraped away and wiped off.
Thank you for that, Once invested in a fine gas range I want to keep it looking good. After cleaning, I wonder if is a good idea to use a light coat of cooking oil or mineral oil to prevent sticking in the future?
I tried it an got most of the gunk off with only a few scratches from hand slips. I should have gone slower. I just couldn't get in the corners good! Great video.
I wish you lived next door to me! We moved into a new place an the stove is black and has this on it. They didn't clean it.😞 I am so scared 😬to do this! Landlord wouldn't like it if I scratched it! But I am going to try it though 😁 slow an steady! Thank you for the Great video!
Thanks so much mine has been burnt on for years and I have scrubbed with everything and it’s still there. I did this on half of it now and it worked but my thumb needed a break 😅ty
I used oven cleaner spray on my cooked on grease on my stove. I sprayed a thick layer and let it set for one hour. The caked on grease wiped right up, and boy was I happy.
FINALLY a stove that looks like mine. I’ve been using a paint scraper but I guess that angle on a razor makes a big difference. Thanks. I’ve been living with this over a decade and thanks to your solution, my stove top will be clean!!!!!! I will also try the same method under the stove top. There is a mound full of grease and burnt food. 🙌 🎉 😆
Great video thanks 👍Along somewhat similar lines I’ve been trying to figure out for some time now how to properly clean a stainless steel kitchen sink. Can you do a video of your thoughts on this? I’d appreciate that tremendously ❗️
This is great. Just saved money on that degreaser I was considering - I know it wouldn't work. For that corner maybe you could use a scalpel or x-acto knife with a small curved blade (like #10). Chisel blades could help with narrow areas.
This is an old video, but for corners, I used the back of the end of a table/butter/dinner knife... whatever it's called. One side is slightly serrated, the other is smooth and a little rounded (on mine anyway), so the smooth side of the rounded tip worked really well.
I bought a new stove about 5 yrs ago and totally neglected cleaning the top around the burners. I had a really thick burnt area just like this video. I have tried every method I could find and none of them worked. I want to thank this individual for providing a real and effective way to totally clean it and restore it to almost perfect condition.

I did this to my stove and boom brand new!! That's a bunch
This was an exceptionally detailed and helpful video. Thanks very much!
I just tried this and it works wonders !! Thank u for sharing the hack 🥰✨
Omg this really does work! Thank you for showing this method, I've tried everything before.
This is awesome..do you have any tips for cleaning the black grills on stovetop?
Are you ready?
Me: yes
He shows the blade
Me: Jaw dropped 😮
How long did it take you to scrape the top part of the stove?
This was so satisfying and I have a couple of baked on grease patches like this! Thanks so much.
I tried it an got most of the gunk off with only a few scratches from hand slips. I should have gone slower. I just couldn't get in the corners good! Great video.
After 3 min. you finally get around to telling us what we clicked on this link for. Three days later, the top was finally cleaned off.
You sound a little like Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds
Was literally just about to type this
He Sure does. On point.
Lmao I’m waiting for a sarcastic punch line
Lol I was thinking the same thing!! 😂
Dude, now I can't unhear it! Im expecting him to wisecrack.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It worked out so well. Less than 1/2 hour to a new looking stovetop.
I wish you lived next door to me! We moved into a new place an the stove is black and has this on it. They didn't clean it.😞 I am so scared 😬to do this! Landlord wouldn't like it if I scratched it! But I am going to try it though 😁 slow an steady! Thank you for the Great video!
He should give you a discount on your rent after you clean it for him.
Thank You for sharing- I will try this weekend!
Milwaukee "carton utility blades" work well for this kind of scraping because the rounded blade tips are less likely to dig in.
Thanks so much mine has been burnt on for years and I have scrubbed with everything and it’s still there. I did this on half of it now and it worked but my thumb needed a break 😅ty
That was very satisfying and a great tip. Thank you sir.
This video makes me so happy! It is so satisfactory to watch. :)
Thank you so much. I have tried all kinds of stuff. Wigit should work great😊
I have aluminum foil that was accidentally baked onto the floor of my oven. Would this technique work on that you think?
I used oven cleaner spray on my cooked on grease on my stove. I sprayed a thick layer and let it set for one hour. The caked on grease wiped right up, and boy was I happy.
Worked great sir. Thank you 👍
FINALLY a stove that looks like mine.
I’ve been using a paint scraper but I guess that angle on a razor makes a big difference. Thanks. I’ve been living with this over a decade and thanks to your solution, my stove top will be clean!!!!!! I will also try the same method under the stove top. There is a mound full of grease and burnt food.
🙌 🎉 😆
00:18 OUCH.. 🥴😵 Gave me the Hibby Jibby's took me back to my school yrs when teacher use to scratch the Chalk Board.
Hello,
The for ur video. Can get the link to rhe gadget you were using.
I sharpened a putty knife and it worked great, but same principle, good job man
Great video thanks 👍Along somewhat similar lines I’ve been trying to figure out for some time now how to properly clean a stainless steel kitchen sink. Can you do a video of your thoughts on this? I’d appreciate that tremendously ❗️
Simple Green and a Magic Eraser. Rinse and dry well.
Just be aware that Magic Erasers are abrasive.

Gel , can I clean my gas oven with easy off ? And how can I clean in between the glass oven door ?
This is great. Just saved money on that degreaser I was considering - I know it wouldn't work. For that corner maybe you could use a scalpel or x-acto knife with a small curved blade (like #10). Chisel blades could help with narrow areas.
This is an old video, but for corners, I used the back of the end of a table/butter/dinner knife... whatever it's called. One side is slightly serrated, the other is smooth and a little rounded (on mine anyway), so the smooth side of the rounded tip worked really well.
