Ways to Clean a Glass StoveTop (Cleanser & Baking Soda Methods)

July 19, 2016 By Victoria

Glass stovetops must be cleaned carefully to keep them looking and operating at their best. There are a couple of ways to clean a glass top stove. Try both to see which you prefer.

Ceramic Stove top Cleanser Method

This is the method recommended by makers of glass cooktops. It is quick and easy.

Things You Will Need:

Stove top cleanser

  • Ceramic cooktop cleanser (CeramaBryte and Weiman cleansers work well. These cleansers are available online and in department stores.)
  • Ceramic cooktop scraper (not a razor blade) (Available online and in department stores.)
  • Scrub sponge
  • Ceramic cooktop polish (Available online and in department stores.)
  • Paper towel
Always clean or scrape off sugary spills, food residue, metal marks, plastic and ceramic marks prior to using the glass top stove again. Otherwise, they might never come off.

How to Clean the Glass Stovetop:

  1. Put cleanser ove the stovetop1 Squirt a few drops of ceramic cooktop cleanser over the coolglass stovetop and directly on any baked-on food residue or marks.
  2. Scrape baked-on food2 Scrape the glass cooktop to remove baked-on food and metal marks with the scraper for glass top stoves held at a 45-degree angle. Don’t be afraid to apply pressure as this may be necessary to scrape the food and marks off.
  3. 3 Keep a bit of cleanser under the ceramic cooktop scraper while you scrape the glass cooktop.
  4. Wipe off baked-on food4 Wipe up the debris created by scraping off the baked-on food with a paper towel.
  5. Cleaning with a damp sponge5 Use a damp sponge to wipe off the whole glass top stove. Rinse the sponge and add a little more cleanser if necessary to get the cooktop good and clean.
  6. Polish glass cooktop6 Polish the clean glass cooktop with the polish and a paper towel to make the clean surface gleam.

Baking Soda Method

That’s right, you can use baking soda to clean your glass top stove. When done properly, it will not scratch the glass stovetop.

Things You Will Need:

  • 1 large bowl (A large plastic mixing bowl works well)
  • 1 to 2 Tbs. mild liquid dish soap (not dishwashing detergent)
  • Rubber gloves
  • 2 to 4 clean, soft dish towels
  • Baking soda
  • 1 clean sponge
  • Scraper
  • 1 microfiber cloth
Always let the glass stovetop cool before cleaning

How to Clean the Glass Stovetop with baking soda:

  1. Putting soap in bowl1 Put the dish soap in the bowl.
  2. Mixing dish soap and water2 Fill the bowl with hot tap water. Get it as hot as it will get from the tap.
  3. Putting towels in the bowl3 Put the dish towels into the bowl of hot, soapy water. Make sure they are saturated with the water.
  4. Sprinkle baking soda over the stove top4 Sprinkle a light but solid layer of baking soda over the glass top stove.
  5. Covering towels on the glass stovetop5 Lay the soapy, wet dish towels on the glass stovetop over the baking soda. Wring them out a little, so they are not dripping, but leave plenty of the hot soapy water in the towels.
  6. Waiting for 15 mins to few hours6 Leave them for 15 minutes to several hours, depending on how dirty the glass stovetop is. If you need to leave them for hours, pour a little hot soapy water over the towels every now and then as they begin to dry a bit. They must stay moist to continue working.
  7. 7 Pick all the wet towels except one up off the stove.
  8. Wipe baking soda off8 Wipe the baking soda off the glass top stove in an “S” pattern with the remaining towel.
  9. Wipe your stovetop with a sponge9 Wet the sponge with cool to tepid tap water. Finish wiping any leftover baking soda and mess off the glass stovetop with the sponge.
  10. scrape-off-food10 Scrape off any baked on food that is still there after wiping the glass top stove. Use a scraper – not a razor blade.
  11. 11 Finish wiping up any leftover debris with the wet sponge.
  12. 12 Polish the glass stovetop with the microfiber cloth to make it gleam. You can use a bit of glass cleaner if it is streaky.
