How do I clean my burner drip pans with water softener and cream of tartar?


Well, it sounds like you've got some dirty burner drip pans on your hands. Luckily, cleaning them up can be a breeze with a combination of water softener and cream of tartar. Here's what you need to do:

  1. Remove the drip pans from your range and place them in a sink or large bowl.
  2. Fill the sink or bowl with hot water and add about a quarter cup of water softener. Let the pans soak for about 15-20 minutes.
  3. After soaking, drain the water and sprinkle a generous amount of cream of tartar onto the pans.
  4. Using a scrub brush or sponge, scrub the pans thoroughly, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  5. Rinse the pans with hot water and dry them thoroughly before placing them back on your range.

And there you have it! Your burner drip pans should now be sparkling clean and ready for use. Just remember to wear gloves and protective eyewear when handling the water softener and cream of tartar, and make sure to rinse the pans well before using them again.

Here's a quick list of the tools and materials you'll need:

  • Burner drip pans
  • Hot water
  • Water softener
  • Cream of tartar
  • Scrub brush or sponge
  • Gloves
  • Protective eyewear
