Video: How to Clean Your Stovetop

COTATI — Host, Sarah Rutan: Cleaning a stovetop is a simple task, but if you aren’t careful, you can run into problems. Today we’re in Cotati with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Dane Marcey of Kelly’s Appliance Center to learn more.

Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Dane Marcy: A common problem a lot of people have when cleaning their stoves is getting too much moisture on it. A good tip is to spray your cleaner on a rag, and wipe it down. If you spray the cleaner directly on, you can get water and moisture behind the knobs on the electrical components.

Another common issue that’ll happen is when you’re cleaning around the burners, it’s also good not to spray directly on the burner, because you’ll get moisture inside the burner, and that’ll take a long time to evaporate and dry out, and your burner won’t light. So, make sure to wipe it down; dry it off. And then when you’re putting your caps back on, make sure that they click and lock into place. Otherwise, when you go to light it, it may continue to spark.
