    On the dots on the stove top...probably lime scale or something similar. Easy...try wetting a rag or sponge with vinegar and letting it sit there for a while...10 or 15 minutes ought to do it. It should dissolve the spots.

    Please note the comment below about mixing bleach and vinegar. You should NEVER mix bleach and vinegar. It can create a toxic gas.

    I put my grates in the dishwasher! It works well and it is easier than anything else I've read here.

    If you have a gas stove, for which the porcelain-coated iron grates and drip pans become blackened with cooked-on food, here's a fantastic tip. Remove the grates, drip pans and small circular pieces that cover the burner and place them in zip-type plastic bags. Into each bag, pour in 1/4 of ammonia. Gently shake the bags and then place them in the sink overnight. In the morning, the cooked-on foods will WIPE right off with very little effort! Be sure to use gloves and don't breath the fumes, as they are very strong.

    Instead of breaking your nails or damaging your fingertips by scrubbing those annoyong burner grates, Place them into a plastic garbage bag and spray them thoroughly with oven cleaner. Let them sit over night, wipe and rinse clean. This works on the oldest of gunk. You can use this method on your oven racks too.

    SUPER-QUICK TIP! Use "Fit" Fruit/Veggie Cleaner for caked-on grease/food. Spray area to be cleaned, use non-abrasive scrubber to loosen stains, wipe clean with sponge or cloth. May need to let harder stains sit for a few minutes. Safe, non-toxic cleaner!

    Here is one more way to remove baked on grease: Use a pumice stone, which sometimes can be obtained at grocery and hardware stores. Moisten the stone as directed, and start rubbing. It appears to be gentle.

    Wet a paper towel in the dish water and sop it over the spill. Let the towel lay there, making sure it stays wet, while you are washing the dishes. By the time you are finished with the dishes, the mess can be cleaned off with the same paper towel and disposed of.

    I make a paste out of baking soda and water. Then, I use a rag or a sponge to scour the stovetop. When everything is clean, I just rinse off the sponge and clean up any excess baking soda. This is cheap, fast, and non-toxic.
