Factors to Consider Before Cleaning a Glass Stovetop

Before knowing how to clean glass stove top, let’s discuss some essential considerations to prevent surface damage or safety hazards.

1. Wait for Cooling: Ensure the stovetop is completely cool before cleaning. Cleaning a hot surface can lead to cleaner evaporation, leaving streaks and stains or even causing burns.
2. Select Appropriate Cleaner: Avoid abrasive cleaners like scouring pads or steel wool to prevent scratches. Instead, choose Fomin multi-surface refills for cleaning all types of surfaces, including glass stovetops.
3. Use Gentle Cloth: Opt for soft materials like microfiber cloths or cotton rags to avoid scratching the surface while cleaning.
4. Control Moisture: Excess moisture can harm the glass surface, so use minimal cleaner and water. Wipe away any extra moisture with a dry cloth.
5. Handle with Care: Clean the stovetop gently, avoiding excessive pressure. Employ circular motions during cleaning and refrain from aggressive scrubbing.

How to Clean Glass Top Stove Burnt-On?

Cleaning a glass-top stove with burnt-on stains can be a bit tricky. Here's how to clean glass top stove burnt on:

Use a damp cloth to clean any loose debris or food particles from the stove's surface.

There are several options for cleaning solutions:

• Purchase cleaning products designed for glass stovetops from your local store.
• Combine 1 tbsp of vinegar and 1 tbsp of baking soda and form a paste. Apply this paste to the burnt areas and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
• Cream cleansers are also effective for removing burnt-on stains. Apply a small amount to the affected areas.

Use a soft sponge or a cloth to scrub the burnt-on stains in a circular motion gently. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool, as they can scratch the glass surface.

Use a dry cloth to wipe down the stove and ensure it is completely dry before using it again.

For stubborn stains, you may need to repeat the cleaning process multiple times until the stains are completely removed.
