“I’ve cleaned every type of stovetop there is,” said Kacie Stevens, owner of Melbourne-based cleaning company The Big Clean Co
Kacie starts by taking all the grates and burners off the stove and soaking them in soapy water.
“Next, I vacuum up any excess food so it doesn’t get caught on my cloth because it could scratch the stove,” she said.
She added, “It’s SO RARE that we come into contact with a stovetop that hasn’t been scratched.”

The next step in the process is to use a degreaser all over the surface.
Kacie recommends For All Australia’s Degreaser ($23.95) for this step.
“I really love that I can lather it up,” she said of the product.
If the oven still isn’t clean enough, Kacie uses soapy water and the Gumption Paste Multi Purpose Cleanser ($5.40) for stubborn stains.

Kacie also revealed that when cleaning their own stoves, people often forget to make sure they go over the knobs, range hood and filters
“The only difference is that I use a non-scratch scouring pad on glass ovens,” Kacie said.
She added, “But a microfiber cloth is perfect for any other stovetop.”
Kacie then simply uses a dry cloth to finish wiping the surface.
“There’s no need to polish the kiln with another chemical afterwards,” she said.

“Don’t forget them – they are important!”

Hundreds thanked Kacie for her expert advice.
‘The vacuuming inside is absolutely brilliant!’ said a woman. ‘I’ll start with that!’
“I feel so stupid not knowing all the parts are coming off including the buttons,” said another.
She added, “I’m on my way to clean my stove again.”
Some also asked Kacie to come to their house, claiming their stovetops needed a deep cleaning.
“Please come to my house, I could never do this myself,” said one woman.
