The Best Cleaning Product for Glass-Top Stoves

Dish Soap

• Designed to remove stuck-on food and grime from dishes, liquid dish soap helps keep glass stove tops clean without expensive products. Fill a clean sink with warm water and add several drops of gentle dish soap. Swish the water and soap around with your hand until thoroughly mixed. Dampen a clean sponge in the soapy water and begin scrubbing the glass cook top clean. Rinse the soapy residue off the stove with a cloth dampened in cool water and dry with a towel.

White Vinegar

• During the cooking process, it is not uncommon to spill and splatter food on the glass stove. White vinegar dissolves these spills and splatters without using harsh and toxic chemicals. Pour white vinegar in a clean spray bottle and mist the buildup of grease and grime. Let the vinegar penetrate the grime for five minutes before wiping the glass stove clean with a sponge. Reapply the white vinegar and scrub with a nylon scrubber to remove stuck-on grease and grime.

Baking Soda

• A natural way to deodorize and cleanse stoves, baking soda has a naturally abrasive nature that will not scratch glass. Wet a clean sponge with warm water and sprinkle baking soda on one side. Scrub the glass cook top with the baking soda-covered sponge in a circular motion. Continue in this manner until you have thoroughly cleaned the stove. Rinse the baking soda off the stove with a clean cloth dampened in cool water. Dry with paper towels.

Considerations

• To keep your kitchen looking its best, wipe up spills and splatters with a clean cloth or paper towel as soon as they occur. Before beginning the cleaning process, allow the glass-top stove to cool completely. Some glass stove tops come with a razor blade scrapper. These scrappers help remove stuck-on food from the glass. However, you must use care when using the scrapper as it could cut you or scratch the glass.
