How would I get old grease off my stove front?

Dish soap with lemon will do the job. Put the soap right on, without water and use a J cloth to spread it around.

Full strength SIMPLE GREEN get's my vote too. It will not harm the finish on the stove. I have also had success using a steam cleaner but still needed the Simple Green along with the steam. I spray with the cleaner first let it sit a bit them steam away. Wipe wipe wipe and that has brought an old 1960's range back to like new life again. I put it outside on the drive to do this so as not to have the drips and steam inside the house. Gave it a very good cleaning top to bottom. I have a steam buggy.

Ok, you can try several different things...

Get the stove "hot" and spray some oven cleaner on it, and let it stay hot for an hour or two and then wipe it off...(use rubber gloves as it will burn your hands, and wear a paper mask so you dont get the aerasol in your lungs).

Fantastic or 409 is a product I like also, for a cold clean, with grease cutting ability.

Or, if its tough, maybe get some Dawn dishwashing detergent on a wet rag and lay it on the front, (yea, you can put a sponge behind it and hold it there with a board...:) Let that set for a half hour and scour lightly with a copper pad, (gently so you dont scratch the surface, or maybe even a green "scrounge pad").

My wife likes Simple Green for cleaning also...

I wish you well..

If you go to a store that sells gas grilles, they also sell grille cleaner - I think the brand I have is Goo Gone - it cleans the greasiest stuff off the grids and the grille - it will work on the stove, I promise. Another alternative would be Dawn liquid dish soap - there was an enormous oil spill on the highway outside Cincinnati a few years ago and that is what was used to clean it up.

tape some plastic sheeting over the entire outside of the front of the stove then as the tops still open spray some ammonia on the front and then tape the top closed then wait over night the ammonia fumes loosen the grease and then you rinse and voila its done this works great on pans and racks also an old realtors trick to clean apartments to the max

Dow Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner. The spray-foam kind. Works like a charm on all grease spots I have ever came across and/or created.

Try with bi-carb & vinegar again, and use something heavier than a toothbrush.

If you fail this try Gumption its a thick paste, and use lots of elbow grease.

Take them off and soak them in some sort of grease-cutter for awhile. Then you can even scrub them with an SOS pad. I used to help my mom clean houses for a friend that was about to sell them. Grease is hard to get off. But SOS pads usually work. Comet works well with them too.

The best heavy-duty cleaner/degreaser I've found is KBS AquaKlean. My husband purchased some online from KBS- Coatings to clean his car frame. It worked so well, we always keep some on hand for our household chores. The concentrate can be diluted up to 10'x its volume depending on the nature of the job.

Scrubbing Bubbles. Best thing we ever used. Spray it on, let it sit, and watch grease melt away. Sound like a commercial dont I? But true, try it and see Name brand Scrubbing Bubbles in your local grocery store.
