How to Clean Your Glass Top Stove

---

Having a glass top stove can not only be a sufficient appliance in your home, but it can also be very appealing to the eye. Making sure your glass top stove sparkling clean can assure the long life of your stove, and keep it looking great!

The Basics

If you don’t know how to clean a glass top stove, keep these cleaning basics in mind before jumping in:

• Cool Cleaning – Never clean your stovetop while it’s still hot
• Use Gentle Cleaning Tools – Glass stovetops are reasonably resilient; however, scrub brushes and scouring pads could leave scratches. To avoid any damages when cleaning a glass cooktop, stick to softer cleaning materials like sponges or microfiber cloths.
• Less is More – When cleaning your glass stovetop, remember that less is more. There’s no need to pull out the heavy-duty cleaners. The residue left over from chemical cleaners could burn off as you cook. Harsh or abrasive cleaners could also damage your stovetop.
• Read the Manufacturer’s Instructions – Make sure to check the instructions from the manufacturer of your stove. Your stovetop may require a specific cleaning product, and this will help you avoid accidentally voiding any warranty you might still have.

Easy Daily Cleaning

When it comes to your glass stovetop, it is a good idea to clean it after every use. This will help prevent any dust and residue buildup. Once your stovetop has cooled, with a spray bottle of distilled white vinegar, spritz your range and wipe clean with a microfiber towel. Finish up by buffing out and streaks with a second dry towel.

Monthly Deep Cleaning

You should know how to clean an electric stovetop on a larger scale. For a monthly deep cleaning, you will need nothing more than vinegar, baking soda, hot water, and a couple of microfiber towels.

To begin your deep cleaning, make sure your stovetop is cool, spray the surface generously with vinegar, and sprinkle liberally with baking soda. Next, take a clean towel and dip it into hot water, wringing out the excess. Place the towel over the vinegar-baking soda mix on the stovetop and allow it to sit for 15 minutes. After removing the towel, wipe the cleaning mixture off of the stovetop with a microfiber cloth. Complete the cleaning routine by spritzing the stove with vinegar and buffing out any streaks.

Cleaning with a Razor Blade

With glass stovetops, it is inevitable that you will come across burnt-on rings around the burners. Removing these rings is quick and easy. Some glass top stoves will actually come with a scraper tool but are also available online for as little as $7.

When cleaning your stovetop with a razor blade, you want to first make sure you are cleaning a cool surface. Begin your cleaning by saturating it with a vinegar spray. The spray helps to soften up any burnt-on residue. When scraping your stovetop with the razor, it is important not to use the corners of the blade; this will scratch your stovetop. Instead, hold the cutting edge of the razor at a very slight angle from the top of the stove. Keeping it as flat as possible, lightly scrape the burnt-on debris until it comes off. Wipe the stovetop clean with a microfiber cloth, and repeat if necessary.
