How do you clean your Flat Top glass stove???

Question

I have used the flat top stove cleaner in the past. But recently I've just been washing it with water and a soft cloth, and then wiping it with a clean towel, and the results are pretty much the same as they would be with the cleaner. They both work well, but the cleaner takes much more time to use.

What do you do with yours??

Answer 1

This is what I do. I clean my stove with any kind of spray( fabuloso, Clorox clean up, 409, or any other type of surface cleaner) during the week. Then every Saturday I clean the stove with the flat stove top cleaner, let it sit long enough to dry. That way I am actually removing all the stuff that gets burned onto the stove. I like doing it that way. Hope this helps and God Bless!

Answer 2

Make sure the stove is not hot.

Scrunch a plastic bag into a small ball. Use it to replace the sponge.

Use the powder cleaner (the one used for cleaning corning ware or ceramic products).

Sprinkle some powder and a little water onto the glass stove and scrub with the plastic bag in small circular motion.
Rinse off with microfibre cloth (wet but squeezed dry from any excess water)

Using non-scratch sponge will absorbs a lot of cleaning powder/agent. The plastic bag will not absorb anything.

For best result, make sure to use a dry microfiber cloth in the last round of rinsing of the stove. It will give a polished and streak-free end-result.

*** This cleaning powder works well on ceramic tiles too !

Happy Trying and enjoy the result ! ! !

I have a black ceramic-top stove (i'm GLAD it's not white!) and I find that when it's cool enough, cleaning it with a textured sponge (Dobie brand is the best I have found but there are similar, less expensive ones out there) damp with a bit of dishwashing liquid squooged through it (Dawn is my fave) and then wiping it down with a clean cloth is the best. I have cerama-bryte, and it's not bad but it costs more. For neglected stovetops and that really cooked-on grodie stuff, either 409 spray, left on for about ten min. and then wiped off with my textured sponge, is awesome. Scratch-free comet also works great when moistened into a paste, left to sit a few minutes, and then wiped off with Mr. Dobie.

Weiman's glass cook top cleaner, used with a Scotch Brite non scratch sponge. For burnt on, a single edge razor blade held at about a 45 degree angle with the cleaner solution. Rinse well, dry with a paper towel.

Answer 5

I put a glass top in my last home and it was a pain to keep clean. If I had splattered grease I would start with warm soapy water and cloth, then finish with windex and a microfiber cloth. If no grease just the windex and microfiber cloth. The microfiber cloth seemed to be the key to no streaks or glazing. They sell the cloths at the supermarket. They also work on just about every other surface in your house.

Answer 6

I use Ceramabryte and since a bottle will last probably a year or more, I generally use it once a week to remove the tough stains that normal washing doesn't get, it's probably only costing about 10cent a week. It only takes a little and makes it shine like the day you bought it. Ours is 7 yrs old and looks perfect.

Answer 7

When it really needs more than soap and water I use baking soda as an abrasive. It works well with just a cloth or a soft abrasive sponge.

Answer 8

I have a smooth top also. You can take it off with a razor blade. Just lean the blade over and scrape it gently like you would if you were getting a sticker off of glass.
