Be careful to prevent saturating the burners with soap. You may have to scrub hard to remove burnt food particles stuck on them. Do not use a steel wool scrubber; it will lead to unsightly scratch marks on your gas stove. Wash off the soapy layer with a damp cotton cloth. Finally, wipe dry with a clean towel.
