We just moved and our new place has a glass top stove that i cannot seem to get clean. i bought the 'glass-top cleaner' by easy off and it just doesn't seem to do anything. anyone know what i can use to really get it to look nice? there must be something! it looked great when we moved in! i appreciate any help!
The instructions for glass top stoves says to use a special cleaner OR:
vinegar and water solution
clean immediately after spills
get into the habit of wiping clean immediately BEFORE use to get dust and such off
OR:
my parents use the cleaner then a special scraper and they try really hard not to spill on it. :)
We have lived in our home for 4 years and we have the exact stove top you described. Here is my advice which is from my experiences the last 4 years:
-As soon as a spill happens, try to clean up as much as you can with a hot burner on. This helps tremendously in making it easier once the area has cooled.
-First, try elbow grease and a wet, soapy washcloth. I often can get small or new spills off this way.
-I have found the best (and yes, it is safe - I have been doing it for 4 years!) way to get the top completely clean and seriously looking like new is to sprinkle Comet (the powder cleaner with bleach) and use a PLASTIC scrubber. Add a little water and start scrubbing. This still takes some elbow grease and patience but it works every time. The comet is not abrasive enough to hurt the top and the plastic won't scratch most things and so its the perfect combination. Once the spots are gone I dry up the cleaner/water/mess with a couple paper towels and finish with a clean, wet, soapy washcloth. It sparkles like new!
Good luck and you can send me a personal message is you would like a picture or more specific info.
If you go to an appliance store the have special cleaners, your stove is probably a glass ceramic top, you need a cleaner for stoves to work best, and a straight razor to get up burnt on things. If you can find it I love whirlpool cooktop protector. You put it on after you clean and blend it in with a microfiber cloth it helps with clean up when spills do happen on the stove. good luck.
Hi E.!
What I do to clean my stove is use some baking soda and water. I pour the baking soda on the stove and add a little bit of water so it forms a paste. I let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then I clean it with the green part of the sponge, just do not do it too hard. Then I rinse with lots of water so it does not stay white.
I use the same trick with all the stains around my house
