To clean stove grates, spray the grates with oven cleaner, and allow the cleaner to sit for several hours before you wash the grates. You need newspaper, oven cleaner, liquid dish detergent and a sponge.

1. Spread newspaper

   Spread newspaper atop a flat surface to protect it from overspray.

2. Align the stove grates

   Place the stove grates on top of the newspaper.

3. Spray the grates

   Coat the grates with an oven cleaning spray. Allow the cleaner to sit overnight.

4. Wash the grates

   Scrub the grates with a detergent-soaked sponge under hot water.

5. Dry the grates

   Rinse the grates clean, and then dry them.
