I have a gorgeous Whirlpool flat top and I was just wondering what is the best way to keep it clean and in good shape? I don't want to scratch it with something harsh but what about the stuff that gets stuck on the eyes?? What would one use to clean that off?? The cleaner they sell for it only takes off the easy stuff.

Srunch a plastic bag into a small ball and use it to replace the sponge etc.
Use powder/cream cleaner for ceramic (esp. the one for corning ware or stainless steel pots).
Use microfiber cloth for rinsing. Make sure to use a dry cloth at the final rinse. This will give you a polished and streak-free stove top.
When your cooking, make sure you hold your pans/pots with 1 hand to avoid the pots/pans from moving and spinning on the top that will scratch it.
Be more careful while cooking so that no boil-over that will leave not stains but burn marks that are more difficult to clean.

I don't have a glass top range. I have a gas range with painted enamel in the recesses underneath the burners. A lot of stuff had built up and burned over the last couple years, and I decided to clean it. Believe it or not, the most effective solution was to spray on a bunch of Simple Green and let it soak in for about 10 minutes. This turned the burned-on stuff into goo, which I then wiped off or scraped out of corners.
After I wiped it all clean, there was a residue (it's a black stove top, so all streaks and smears are very visible). So, I finished it off with Windex and a clean paper towel. It came out looking like new.

You can use a razor blade to scratch off the hard stuff, but make sure it has been soaking in the cleaner or water for a bit. Instructions should come with the stove, or are on the stove top cleaner bottle.

The best way to clean a ceramic cooktop is to sprinkle a nonabrasive cleanser or baking soda over the surface and rub with a synthetic scouring pad or sponge. Rinse well with clear water, and buff with a soft cloth for a clean finish.

I use a straight edged razor blade....every time I cook, after the burners cool off I spray the top with greased lightening and use a nylon Dobie scrub pad on it....wipe with a clean wet sponge and towel dry.

Elbow grease is the only factor. eating places have their detachable greasy kitchen fan monitors steam wiped sparkling yet use elbow grease to scrub fixed surfaces and that they do no longer enable it to construct up so badly (you in all probability already know that.). For the range, positioned on gloves, use many purposes of a degreaser. you purchase it in the janitorial aisle at clever & very final. study the instructions. be careful in making use of degreasers for the reason that's extremely sturdy and could bleach and injury fabrics. once you're finished, do as you will possibly after pouring Clorox down you enjoyed ones drain. Flush it out of your housepipes with chilly water. it relatively is corrosive.

Paul in San Diego is absolutely right! Simple Green works great and it's safe. I would not scape or use harsh chemicals, you might damage your stove top.

use warm soapy water and let soak, use a soft cloth so you don't scratch the surface. This will take a little time.
