Hello. When I've serviced gas ranges in customers' homes, I've found that a set of steel paper clips (bent out straight with a little handle formed at one end) of different sizes works wonders for cleaning the orifices( the center of the burners where the gas is emitted). I also use a brass and steel brush to clean burned food and debris from the metal surfaces of the ports on the burners. Be especially careful when cleaning the tops of the posts of the spark ignitors(if so equipped). You can buy a set of 3 brushes(fiberglass, steel, brass) from a hardware store or outfit like Lowe's or Home Depot. Take your time and remember, it doesn't have to be perfect--you want to make sure the posts are clean with the metal tips shiny and the holes are clear--they don't have to be new/shiny. I hope I helped you!
