#### 3. **Wipe Away the Gunk**

After soaking, use a sponge or soft cloth to wipe away the loosened grime. Most of it should come off easily. For stubborn spots, gently rub the dishwasher tablet directly on the stain (wear gloves if needed).

#### 4. **Rinse and Dry**

Rinse the burners thoroughly with clean water to remove any leftover residue. Dry completely with a towel before placing them back on your stove.

* Avoid using **steel wool or harsh scouring pads** that can scratch the burner finish.
* Don’t soak **electric burner coils** — spot clean those with a damp cloth and a scrubbed tablet (but never submerge them).
