    Black gas cooktop
    I have a black gas cooktop that I love. I don't mean to offend, but this is actually a cleaning question. There is an area adjacent to one of the burners that has a fairly small amount of grease/overspill build up. I've always cleaned it weekly, at the very least, with Scrubbing Bubbles. The spot didn't go away when I cleaned it after spill and has only gotten worse. I've used vinegar, AWESOME, Polmolive Oxy (allowed to sit) to release the grease. I'm selling the house and have a Texas
    Buyer, sight unseen. I have a beautiful home, cleaned to a sparkle. But, I can't leave that spot on the stove top! Again, I don't mean to offend anyone on a site
    About appliances by asking a cleaning question, but I'm desperate. Thanks

    Offend, doodle55? Mentioned twice? This says volumes about your whole life (going back over your other posts). We have to toughen you up a bit!
    NO, you can't possibly offend anyone here by asking about a stubborn stain under the Appliances category. I'm speaking for everyone, not something I do ordinarily.


    I have a flat glass cooktop. I'm not a big buyer of cleaning products. Most of them contain the same ingredients. I've found that leaving a lot of plain old soap and water on in for several hours works better than anything. Then I sponge up all the excess, and scrub with a 3M pad. If you are dealing with a curved burner, I would apply one of the thickened products you have, cover it with a damp sponge with a weight on it, and leave it for hours. If that doesn't work --- let it go! Your buyer is going to be thrilled. Congratulations on the sale.
