## 🧼 Nana’s Step-by-Step Cleaning Method
### 1. **Remove the Knobs**
Most stove knobs **pop right off** with a gentle pull. Make sure your stove is off and cool before starting.
### 2. **Soak in Soapy Water**
In a bowl, mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap and a splash of white vinegar. Let the knobs soak for **15–20 minutes** to loosen the grease.
> 💡 *Nana’s Tip:* Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the soak if the knobs are extra grimy.
### 3. **Scrub Gently**
Use a toothbrush or small brush to scrub the knobs, especially around edges and crevices. The vinegar and soap work together to cut through built-up grease without harsh chemicals.
### 4. **Rinse and Dry**
Rinse the knobs with clean water and dry them thoroughly with a cloth or paper towel. Moisture left behind can cause mildew or affect the function of the knobs.
### 5. **Wipe Around the Stove Area**
While the knobs are off, take a minute to wipe down the area behind them—this spot often collects grease too!
