How to Clean Glass Stove Top

What You'll Need

• Soap-Man Streak-Free Glass Cleaner
• Baking soda
• White vinegar in spray bottle
• Razor blade scraper
• Microfiber cloths
• Soft sponge

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Sprinkle baking soda over the surface

   With the stove completely cool, sprinkle baking soda generously over the entire glass top, covering all visible stains and burnt spots.

2. 2

   Apply damp towels

   Soak a large towel or several cloths in hot soapy water, wring slightly, and lay them over the baking soda. Let it sit for 15-30 minutes.

3. 3

   Scrub gently

   Remove the towels and scrub with a soft sponge using circular motions. The baking soda and soaking will have loosened most residue.

4. 4

   Scrape stubborn burnt spots

   Hold a razor blade scraper at a 45-degree angle and gently push it across burnt-on spots. Keep the glass wet to prevent scratching.

5. 5

   Polish with glass cleaner

   Spray Soap-Man Streak-Free Glass Cleaner on the surface and buff with a dry microfiber cloth until streak-free and sparkling.

Pro Tips

• TIPClean spills as soon as the surface cools -- sugar-based spills can permanently etch glass if baked on at high heat.
• TIPUse flat-bottomed pans only on glass tops -- warped pans create hotspots that cause uneven heating and make stains worse.
• TIPApply a thin coat of cooktop protectant or car wax after cleaning to make the next cleanup easier.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• XUsing the razor blade at too steep an angle, which gouges the glass instead of gliding across it.
• XCleaning a hot glass top, which can cause thermal cracking and bakes cleaners onto the surface.
• XUsing cast iron on glass stove tops without care, as the rough bottom can scratch the glass when slid.
