Glass stove tops are known for their smooth ceramic finish, which provides excellent heat retention. This smooth ceramic surface is subject to food spills, which inadvertently occur during meal preparation. Heat causes spilled foods to bake onto glass stove tops, resulting in stubborn stains. Aside from making glass stove tops look dingy, baked-on food stains attract insects and therefore make glass stove tops unsanitary. Promptly remove baked-on stains from glass stove tops to restore their appearance.
