Cleaning Glass cooktop stoves

SeaMaiden — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 18:45:50 GMT

What do you use? Some info out there says white vinagar and a soft cloth... or there are hundreds of products on the market.... I am getting a glass cooktop stove next week and never have had one... what should I clean the top with that will not streak or cloud up?

I use one of the clay based solid cleaners. They come with a special sponge. You wet the clay and make a sudsy consistency, then you squeeze the suds on the cook top when it's cool and lightly move in circles. You can remove with a damp cloth or a dry cloth. I've had my top for 11 years now and it looks almost new. I cook 6 days a week. Hope that helps. Enjoy your new cooktop

Get one of these razor-blade scrapers for when you need to scrape off cooked on burnt food. Avoid cooking on a dirty stovetop to avoid that but sometimes spillage and boil-overs happen.

ETA-

You can also use a pumice stone if you'd rather not use a razor blade. Pumice will not scratch glass cooktops.

Another vote for Barkeeper's Friend. I use the liquid version and it's wonderful. It is also great for tubs, sinks, toilets so it saves me space in the cupboard.

a straight edge blade is a necessity and be very gentle

barkeepers friend

weiman products.....get the 3 piece set that includes the cleaner, a straight edge blade, and the scrubber.

I used to have a glass cooktop (have a gas cooktop now) and after I cleaned it with some of the products here ( the razor/scraper is a must) I used to polish it with Pledge. It always looked great.

I highly recommend Weiman Cooktop Cleaner. It's sold all over the place. It's a box containing the liquid cleanser, a scrubbie, and a razor-scraper tool. Works like a charm. My glasstop induction cooktop still looks brand new. I also use this on the glass inserts in my oven and microwave.

@sunshine45 Agree, that's an amazing product.

I second the use of clay based products. I've been using BioCleaner brand that QVC sells - bought when it was on special for supersized product. (Also find this to be excellent cleaner for stainless steel sink and appliances.)

For everyday cleaning, I use Weiman Stovetop Cleaner in a spray that I purchase in the grocery store.

And, yes, you will need a razor blade (in one of those holder thingys shown above) for burned on spills. No matter how careful you are, happens from time to time.

Enjoy your new stove!

I'd be afraid of dropping something on it and breaking it.

I found that all the "cleaners" for the glass tops, leave a haze, cloudy and all the you mentioned. I found that the scrapper with the razor blade was very good to remove burned on bits and it does not scratch. Bartenders Friend is fabulous, sprinkle some on the glass top to remove any overflow on the glass, wipe with clear water and shine with a paper towel. If I have no water marks, I will use glass plus or windex and shine with a paper towel. Leaves no residue and glass top is nice and shiny!

I use Ceramabryte cleaner for glass cooktops. I do also use a single edge razor scraper blade to get any burned food off before using the cleaner. I bought it where I bought my cooktop as it was recommended. It's the best product for glass cooktops I have found.

@SeaMaiden,

I've always wanted a glasstop and finally have one! No more cleanig those awful drip pans or buying new ones.

For my mother's and mine I use the magic sponge as soon as it cools and the red light goes off. Then I use vinegar and a soft terry cloth. It looks like new after 5 years. And I could always get my mothers burned on stuff off too.

But a lot of these other suggestions sound good too!

@SeaMaiden You won't be disappointed! After I do the clean up, I'll rinse any residue off & buff with a dry microfiber cloth and my cook top is so clean & shiny & brand new looking. It's very rewarding!

That's why I used to finish up with Pledge. It removed that haze that the cleaners left behind.
