Step 6: Scrub With an Old Toothbrush
Use an old toothbrush to scrub the burner parts gently.
Pay special attention to edges, crevices, and areas where grease has collected.
The toothbrush is small enough to reach detailed areas without being as harsh as many metal cleaning tools.
Step 7: Remove Stuck Food Debris Carefully
If food is trapped in accessible crevices, use a small piece of cardboard to help loosen it.
Avoid using a toothpick if there is a chance it could snap and become lodged inside a burner opening.
