Usually, the cleaning of the gas stove is done regularly, but the gas pipe is left untouched. Periodically cleaning the gas pipe may not be possible, but it must be cleaned once a month. Often, the dust gets filled in the gas pipe, reducing gas flow. At the same time, there're many such things present in the kitchen that can clean the gas. Most of you use two types of pipes, rubber and plastic. Do you know that these pipes can be cleaned with kitchen ingredients? First, you have to turn off the gas stove and the regulator to clean the gas pipe and carefully remove it.

Check the gas pipe by putting it in water

The regulator or the stove does not only cause gas leaks, but the holes in the pipes can also be the reason for this. In such a situation, fill the water in a bucket and submerge the pipe. If there is a hole, the water will go inside the pipe. Often we are not aware of this, due to which the gas ends quickly. Therefore, if you feel that the gas is running out quickly, check the pipe apart from the regulator and the gas stove and replace it immediately.

Has the flow of gas been reduced?

Does your gas flow often get reduced, and you start cleaning the gas burner because of the hidden dirt? But sometimes dirt also gets accumulated in the pipe, decreasing gas flow. Learn how the dirt inside the pipe can be cleaned at home
