Step 1: Safety First
Ensure burners are extinguished and completely cool before handling.
Step 2: Preparing the lemon
Cut a lemon in half. Squeeze a little juice directly onto the dirty areas.
Step 3: Let it work
Let it sit for about 10 minutes. The acidity of the lemon works to dissolve dirt and grease.
Step 4: Rub
Using a sponge or small wire brush , scrub carefully until the surfaces are clean.
Step 5: Rinse and dry
Rinse with clean water, then dry completely before reusing the devices.
What’s in it for you?
- Cleaner combustion : a bright blue flame = better energy efficiency.
- Savings : consume less gas for the same use.
- Fewer breakdowns : a clean device works better and longer.
- An ecological gesture : less gas burned, less pollution.
Bonus tip: also think about the connections
The small pipes that connect your equipment to the gas can also become clogged . A squeeze of lemon helps dissolve small deposits that hinder the flow of gas. Like unclogging a straw: once it’s cleared, everything works better.
A small gesture, big benefits
Cleaning your burners with lemon is a bit like maintaining your coffee maker : a simple but essential step. Not only will your gas last longer, your bill will be lower… but you’ll also be doing something good for the planet.
