I just want to tell you how thankful I am that you posted this video. I just bought a house that came with a stove and I dont know what the situation was with the people that previously lived there but the stove grates were absolutely caked with burnt on grease and (I think?) paint where rather than cleaning them they were trying to cover up the gunk. I had fought with the gunk for a week straight. I let them soak in cleaning vinegar for 2 full days and still couldn't get it all off. I had actually given up and thrown them out in the trash one night and sat down to look for replacements. It turned out they were older cast iron grates from frigidaire that aren't made anymore so finding replacements was going to be more expensive than a new stove top. I started searching more and came across your video and after watching it I decided to try the ammonia so at 2am I fished these things out of my trash haha. I let them soak in ammonia overnight and the result was AMAZING. I still had to use a steel brush and a utility scraper but the gunk finally started dislodged and coming off. After an hour of cleaning they were done. I still can't believe it after a full week of fighting with that stuff. Thank you so so much!!!!!
Hi Tiffany! I am so happy this worked for you! I don't remember how I discovered this but glad it worked for you. I think it is about time for me to clean mine again. Hope you enjoy some of my other videos 📹 ☺
This was a GRATE video! Thanks for sharing. I do it a little differently. I take my grates outside, spray them with heavy duty oven cleaner, let them dwell for 15 minutes, then hose them off. It works well too.
That's a great idea!
I tried two rounds of the blue can bit it didn't work I guess my grates are ungrateful 😒
Blue what? I just put mine in those large plastic bags filled with ammonia and let set for almost overnight.
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl I was in a hurry nd tried the oven cleaner but had to do your ammonia method overnight and boom worked like a charm
So glad it worked! Time for me to do mine again.
I got my first apartment in the 1980s. Back then in L.A., rarely if ever did new homes or apartments come with appliances.
The manager showed me two empty units. One had a stove and refrigerator the previous tenant was selling at $150 for the pair. The stove was a white Sunray from the mid 1960s and the fridge was an early-1970s Frigidaire in harvest gold that didn’t defrost.
Thankfully, the previous owner took excellent care of them and kept them immaculately clean. They both worked beautifully. There was no grime on the burner grates. 😊
I kept the fridge for ten years and just got rid of the stove in 2022. It still worked but was rusting in areas. For practical reasons I opted for a new stove that air fries and whatnot. Eventually, I want to get a restored stove from the 1950s.
So excited to find your methods. I have huge heavy duty grates and thought about a trash bag. I will go get these bags and finally get my grates clean. Awesome video, thank you for your time and God bless you.
Thanks so much for watching! Let me know how it turns out!
This was such a good idea. Thank you. I was thinking of doing something similar with my oven racks. You got great results.
Hi Denise! Thanks so much for watching! This was a remake from an old video. I thought I would share it again.😊
OMG. I just cleaned my first grate. Wow! This really works! Thanks so much. It's like new!!
Hi Vicky! So happy this worked for you ☺
I left mine sit with ammonia overnight. This morning they were ready to be cleaned out. I followed your instructions. It worked. Just make sure that you gear up with mask 😷 gloves 🧤 etc. Be extremely careful, the fumes can be dangerous. Also you can scrape through the bag. Use your fingers and in a rubbing motion the grease will come off. Then when it’s cleaned, then you can take out of the bag and rinse..
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with this. Yes the ammonia is strong. Yes you have to be careful 🙂
Hi, where did you buy the bags and the Aminia never seen it in the stores before, TIA
Hi found the bags at the Dollar Tree and you should be able to find the ammonia in any grocery store 😀
Thank you so much! It is a fantastic idea to use the vacuum bag! You are brilliant!
Hi Helen! Glad you like my tip!
I agree. The vacuum bag or storage bag is a great idea as my grates are made all together. All other chanels keep mentioning gallon bags but that woulnd't work for me. Thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
My stove tops were greasy and burnt. But this helped a lot!
Glad it worked for you. Thanks so much for watching.
I watched this once before but forgot how much to use ! Boy, do my grates need this !
Just pur enough to cover the worst part of the grates. Thanks for watching 😊
Vacuum storage bags is a GREAT tip.
Great video and explanation of how to do it and where to get the bags! Be mindful that if like me you have 5 years of layer upon layer of burnt caked on grease that you might have to repeat the steps of ammonia and elbow grease to get the best results.
Yes sometimes all the grease doesn't come off. TFW
Thank you for this video my grates are in desperate need of this!
Hope all goes well.
Thanks for a great video. I used your method, and for the really tough spots, I used a brass-bristle brush and the grills are really clean! Thanks again Cheryl - from the background in the video, you have a beautiful house.
Thanks so much. I'm happy this worked for you. It is time for me to do it again. 🙂🙂
Thank you for sharing your ideal., I love the sound of your voice it's very Calming.. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hi Vickie! Thanks so much for watching and stopping by. I'm glad my voice was calming to you.🙂
I think what you should consider is spraying them a few times first with the same solution in a spray bottle and then put them in the bags. It surprises me that they got that bad to begin with. I wipe mine down after I cook. Try spraying them with Greased Lightning
People are so funny . I’m glad to hear you clean yours often . GOOD FOR YOU !! be blessed. I am thankful that I found this video ❤️
Thanks for watching 😊
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl Girl, where did you get those big bags?
Thank you for sharing this great idea. My grates are so big and heavy, they are such a pain to keep clean. And I'm going to try my grill grates too.
Thanks so much for watching and stopping by 🙂
Mine are big and heavy as well. I take them outside, spray them with oven cleaner, cover with plastic for a few minutes and use a steel brush to remove gunk. It does a decent job. I guess I could spray several times, but we cook a lot. I might try this ammonia method overnight and see if that works better.
Thanks for watching please let me know if this works for you.
Great suggestions. My hubby has his power washer out to wash the wood fence before staining it so I’ll have him take the grates out to the driveway, power wash the cast iron grates and see how they turn out!! Ours are not as greasy as the video.
I have a power washer and we use it on the grill. This could be an alternative to using a power washer. Thanks so much for watching 🙂
This is brilliant. I have electric stove so I do not need to do this but now I know how to clean them. TFS. Take care.
Hi! Thanks so much for watching. Sometimes I wish I had an electric stove. Gas stoves are so hard to keep clean 😊
WOW Cheryl, been struggling to clean my grates til my fingers hurt. I couldn't find new ones for my stove, gonna try your way next time. Thanks so much for the tip
It will be easy. The hardest part is letting the grates soak overnight. I have done this several times and I find that the longer you let them soak the easier it is to get the grease off. Let me know if you try🙂
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl Really appreciate another great tip Cheryl, Thanks again. Happy Holidays and please be safe
Yayyy👏 awesome idea this is awesome Cheryl I definitely need to this but need my mask on lol because I get asthma from any strong smell even if is food😃you sure picked the perfect name to yur channel yur home looks beautiful n spotless I love it😃👏you did an amazing job thank you for sharing sweetie God bless you have a wonderful n blessed nite🙏
Hi Abigail! Thanks for watching my cleaning series. I have one more to upload.
I've seen this done just by leaving a cup of ammonia in the bag to let the gases work. The ammonia never needed to touch the grate at all.
I tried that and it didn't work for me! Thanks for watching 😊
Best I’ve seen. Thank you
i just spent 5 hours with a razor blade and pumice stone it came out fair at best, i was not content with the out come, i got my baking dish, poured in a one pint ammonia with a half cup of bleach wrapped in saran wrap sat in the garage for 2 days , took the pressure washer which i highly recommend, the p/w took all of 2 minutes and i was 100% satisfied i believe the pressure washer would have saved me the 5 hours.the grease just washed off , and the dish was as clean as it was at new
Hi Berry! I think the plastic bags I used helped alot for leaving them overnight. I didn't spend hours getting it off. Thanks for watching and you tips.
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl i agree with you , now i wish i just used the ammonia and wrap , it really did come off very very easy , thank you for the tip!
Thanks so much for watching 🙂
job well done. thanks for the tip. tfs
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you.
I have a brand new stove and being very mindful of taking care of it and keeping it clean. But if, GOD forbid, I ever lapse I will try this method. 👍🏾
Thanks for watching 😊
Thank you sp much for sharing. This is exactly what I will do tomorrow...
Hi Diana! Did you get started? I wS going to do my beauty personal items closet, but had to stop to do a DIY for Valentine's Day😊
Good job. Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Thanks so much for watching 🙂
If you submerged them COMPLETELY it would have come off like nobody bidness.. I have tried this before.. magic
Thanks for watching Yolanda 😊
I think turning the bag with two cups of solution would coat better. Also I would do all that outside for your lungs sake. Thank you for the tip and where to get those bags!
That's a great idea!
I did mine the hardway. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Jonah! I am sure there is an easier way than this! Thanks so much for watching and stopping by 🙂
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl i was so glad i saw your video, i will do it your way.
Let me know how it turns out!
This will come in handy with my new stove!
Hi Tina! Thanks so much for watching and stopping by 🙂
Easy Off in trash bags and use vinegar to neutralize the Easy Off.
I will be trying this over the weekend TFS!
Let me know how it turns out!🙂
Oh I needed this my lady thx I will be cleaning
Thanks so much for watching and stopping by 🙂
I took my grates outside on the driveway and used Easy Off, hosed them and repeated for those hard to get off sides. It worked like a charm, I'll have to try your method, but the smell of ammonia is so strong. Not good for people with asthma. Thanks though.
Thanks so much for watching! Maybe I will try your method in the spring🙂
Going to try this n after my pressure washer
Hope all goes well.
Yep! 😮
Tfw!
Thank you for this quick fix. Is there a way to remove Burnt microfibre cloth stubbornly stuck to cast iron grates !! HELP PLEASE. ( High end product like Viking Wolf Thermador says no harsh chemicals ) they prefer we buy New Grates. Again HELP PLEASE.
I am not sure about Viking. If they are cast iron, I don't see why you can't use ammonia like I did. Try sprinking with baking soda and the pour vinegar. That may take off some of the burnt on grease. Let me know what happens 🙂
Thanks. Will do this
Thanks so much for watching. Hope this works for you.
I’ve been wanting to try this
So I didn’t get it so did you add water?
How much of water and for how long?
No water just straight ammonia.
Thast a good idea. Have you tried the oven spray cleaner. Thast what I used and it work wonders. Thanks for Sharing your videos whit us RUclips sister ❤🖒 xoxox stay safe and bless and strong and positive much love from me xoxox
I have tried the spray before. I am going to try again thanks so much for watching!
Just curious if the grates should be washed with soapy water after cleaning them with ammonia to make sure no residual ammonia remains on the grates.
Yes I did. Thank you for watching 🙂
Awesome!!!Big Like
Hi Donna! Thanks for watching and stopping by 🙂
Thanks i'm gonna try it
Hope you have success 🙂
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl It worked!😍
@@No_aestheticly_pleasing_drinks Hi Charlotte 👋 I am glad this method worked for you.
Thank you!!
You are welcome 😊
Love it. I'm going to try this tommorow. Ok so I wonder if I kept it outside and scrubbed it with a BBQ STEEL WOOL. Would that work?
I was thinking of using an old storage bin and leave them soaking in it for a while (mine are super greasy and hard to clean )and also use a bbq steel brush
I think that is a great idea 💡
Could we add baking soda and vinegar to the amonia? Does anyone know?
@@moncyesthervarughese7488 I am not sure, but it is not necessary the ammonia works.
I used a drill with a wire brush instead of razors and saved some time. Use eye protection.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing your tip!
what is that scraper called?
I want to buy it.
Utility knife.
What u have put in the bag from this bog bottle
I put in ammonia
Hi
Where did u get utility scrapper
You can find a hardware store or Walmart and Amazon. Thanks for watching 😊
How long do you leave it to soak
I usually let it soak overnight I try not to have to use the oven that day. Thanks for watching 😊
We cant get ammonia here in UK 😣
Maybe you could try some other type of degreaser.
I tried that and it didnt work all that well. why didnt it work ??
How long did you leave in the bags? I leave mind in the bags at least 10 hours or more. Pick a day when you are not going to use the stove and make sure you have enough ammonia in the bag. Thanks so much for watching 🙂
Are these cast iron?
Yes they are.
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl WOAH! They look so smooth! My stove is only a year old, but the grates are all bumpy still like when we 1st got it 😅 And parts of them are gray. I'm not sure how I managed that.
@@mintbutterfly10 It's hard keeping them clean when you have more than one cook.
Can I use garbage bags?
Yes as long as they ate thick enough.
Next time completely cover them it makes it a lot easier
Thanks so much for watching! I will try next time.
Can't you just stick them in the oven and throw it on self-clean? Should burn it all off. Or hit it with oven cleaner.
I haven't tried to put in oven before. I am going to try oven cleaner next because it is that time again.
@@aroundthehousewithcheryl yeah self-clean should turn it all to powder and you're good to go.
Eastest way ive done use dollar tree oven cleaner. Nd jus scrub.....
Thanks for watching!
you gotta mop your floor, Dude :)
