- Safety first: Make sure the burners are off and cool.
- Preparation of the lemon: cut a lemon in half and squeeze a little juice over the dirty areas.
- Leave on: wait 10 minutes for the acidity to take effect.
- Scrub thoroughly: Using a sponge or metal brush, wipe away any residue until the surfaces are clean.
- Rinse and dry: Use clean water to rinse and dry thoroughly before using again.
Benefits of this method

Pipes and hoses can also accumulate dirt. Passing a little lemon juice on them can help to unclog them, improving the flow of gas.
