Cleaning your stove grates is an important part of keeping your kitchen looking clean and sparkling. After all, a clean stovetop is always preferable to a dirty one. Regular stove grate cleaning is also crucial for appliance maintenance because grease can ultimately clog your burners, shortening the life of your stovetop.
Grease also travels. Put a pot or pan on top of a dirty burner and you've started a trail of debris that ends up not only at the bottom of your pots and pans but also on your countertop and possibly in your cabinets. Greasy build-up can also ruin or stain the bottom of your cookware. Plus, anything slimy-looking won't help you out when you're trying to clean your kitchen.
