Stove tops get messy fast. Splatter happens, boil overs happen, and somehow that one mystery spot becomes a permanent resident. The good news is you do not need harsh chemicals to get your stove top looking brand new again.
Below is a simple guide for cleaning glass stove tops, gas stove tops, and electric stove tops using Mint Cleaning Products. Easy, effective, and smells way better than the usual stuff.
Why stove tops get so grimy
Most stove top buildup is a mix of
-
Grease from cooking
-
Burnt on food
-
Sugary spills that caramelize
-
Dust and crumbs that get cooked into the surface
The trick is to degrease first, then lift the stuck on bits gently without damaging the finish.

Glass stove top cleaning
If you have a glass stove top, burnt on marks can be stubborn, but this method is tried and true.
-
Let the surface cool completely
-
Lightly dust Mint Cleaning Scrub over the burnt areas
-
Spray Mint All Purpose over the top
-
Use a Copper Scrubbie and gently scrub in circular motions until the grime lifts
-
Wipe away residue with a damp cloth
-
For extra shine, finish with a dry microfibre cloth
Tip: Always test a small area first with the Mint Copper Scrubbie, since some surfaces can vary.
Gas stove top cleaning
Gas stove tops have more pieces, but the clean is still simple.
Step 1 Soak the burners
Remove the burners and place them in a sink filled with hot water and a bit of Mint Dish Soap. You can also add a Mint Dishwasher Tab. Let them soak to loosen grime.
Step 2 Degrease the stove top
While the burners soak, generously spray the stove top with Mint All Purpose. Let it sit for a few minutes to help break down grease.
Step 3 Wipe down
Use a warm cloth to wipe the stove top, removing as much residue as possible. For stubborn spots, use Mint Cleaning Scrub to tackle them.
Step 4 Scrub and rinse the burners
Use a Bamboo Dish Brush to gently scrub the burners clean, then rinse thoroughly.
Step 5 Reassemble and enjoy
Place the clean burners back on and you are ready to cook again.
Electric stove top cleaning
For an electric stove top, follow the same steps as a gas stove top. Yes, even the part where you remove the burners and soak them, if your model allows it.
If your electric stove top has a flat glass surface, use the glass stove top method above.

Wipe spills as soon as the stove top cools
