Let the burner cool down before you get started.
Grab the grates
To remove the grates, use a soft brush with warm soapy water. Monica says that if the grates are sloppy, you can use a few drops of Dawn degreasing soap to make them look better. You can put some grates in the dishwasher to make them easy to clean. Check with your manufacturer before placing. Before replacing grates, dry them well.
Clean the knobs
To clean knobs that usually pull off, use warm soapy water and a microfiber towel. It would be best if you don’t scrub too hard, as this could cause damage to the dial markings.

The little caps that cover each burner are to be removed. To clean the caps and the heads of the burners:

Use a microfiber cloth to buff the surface to a shine. You may need to buff the stainless steel tops several times. Alternatively, you can use a stainless-steel wipe for final polishing.
