How to Get Burn Marks Off Glass Cooktops

Glass cooktops are becoming popular in home kitchens for their sleek look and generally easy cleaning. With a glass cooktop, the heating element is protected by a glass surface so that any spillovers do not get onto or under a heating element, the way they might in a traditional electric stove. Because the glass cooktop becomes very hot, spillovers can result in burned-on stains on the cooktop that cannot be removed with regular cleaning methods.

Instructions

- 1
  Allow the cooktop to cool completely.
- 2
  Apply a dime- to quarter-size dollop of cream cleaner to the burnt-on stain.
- 3
  Hold the razor blade tool at a 45-degree angle. Use the razor blade to scrape the burnt-on stain off of the cooktop, applying pressure as you go. Keep some cream cleaner between the blade and the cooktop at all times to prevent scratches.

  Wipe the cream cleaner and residue off the razor blade with a paper towel.
- 5
  Squirt some cream cleaner over random areas on the cooktop. Spread it onto the cooktop with a clean paper towel.
- 6
