I just use a tiny bit of Dawn and a damp microfiber cloth. The Dawn cuts the grease and the microfiber does the rest. No scratches and completely clean. Just rinse out the cloth and go over to remove any soap residue. Cheap and cheerful!
This works on some stains, but I found on stains burned on (perhaps by something on the bottom of the pan) that baking soda and a few drops of white vinegar almost always works. The secret is to put the soda right on the stain, and as soon as you add the vinegar and see it react, then use the rough side of a soft kitchen sponge and it takes it out.
I have the exact same oven, and this method works very well to clean your stove top. I Saved money, and the stove top looks brand new! Thanks for the video!
When I got my glass/ceramic cooktop twenty two years ago in 1991 it came with a scraper that has a replaceable blade. I’ve used that and Jif or Gumption cream cleaners and don’t have any problems! I really like how easy it is to use and adds bench space when I need it.
That’s how I’ve been cleaning mine ever since I bought it in 2013. You can get replacement scrapers at your local hardware store. Just ask or look for a glass scraper. It will come with 4 or 5 blades.
I've had my stove more than 15 years and it looks like l just bought it. I clean it after every use with "top glass cleaner" especially if the water over boils / wait unit it's cool down before cleaning. 👍
A much simpler, less messy way is to use Bar Keepers Friend powder. Simply fold a dishcloth several times into a thick pad, dampen with tap water, sprinkle a generous amount of the powder on to the soiled area, then rub in a circular motion with the pad...you'll find that stains remove with ease. The idea is to create a thickish paste, not a watery consistency. In any case, keep the pad safely to hand as you can reuse it several times after a single application of powder, simply wetting it slightly before use the next time, but also adding a touch more powder occasionally. After cleaning the cooker top, I simply spray any general purpose cleaner over the area, then wipe dry with paper kitchen towel, finishing off with a light spraying of ordinary glass cleaner, followed by a quick polish using a microfibre cloth. The end result is perfection, and it can all be done in 90 seconds.
This worked well for me. Some of the really hard, baked-on food that was impossible to get rid of before needed more than a one-time cleaning to get it all off. Thanks for the advice.
This worked quite well to clean my stovetop! I've always struggled cleaning my stove top in the past with scrubbing out the stains, this is much easier!
Vinegar and baking soda do the same thing. Great job though!! I love my glass top stove and I hope to never have to go back to those horrible metal rings.
I'm glad you video came across my YT page. Going to try lemon and baking soda on my glass top stove. I'll make sure I will use a microfiber cloth too. Thanks.
I just rub some Dawn detergent using my fingers when the top is cool. Once I’ve done my dishes, I wipe the ceramic top with a damp sponge after, if there is caked on particles, I use the scrubbing side of the sponge to remove those, flip the sponge and wipe it all down, then dry it with a microfibre cloth. You can use a Ceramic Top Cream Cleanser on occasion but that’s rare if you keep it clean daily.
These glass stove tops are a pain in my "burner" lol I have one and its only less than 2yrs old. The front right burner looks like its 90 yrs old. Pans took part of the surface off. It looks terrible. I agree gas stoves are better and in my opinion cooks food better.
How is that possible? We had one back in the 70’s and never had an issue and had one in the 90’s and as along as you only use real pans and don’t turn it up too high and leave it on for hours I don’t see how a pan would burn to the top. I have never heard of such a thing.
We got ours not even 2 months and it already has these burns. Hard to remove and even with these kinds of tricks, they will not come out entirely. never again will I get such a cook top.
Might sound crazy, but I used Brillo pads... I was desperate one time. I thought there was now getting the burnt in gunk off. Anyway it works like a charm and doesn't scratch the glass. I have had luck with it on 2 stoves now.
A bit messy solution. Our Kenmore Elite electric cooktop is over 15 years old and has been cleaned with "Cook Top" brand cleaner and has ZERO scratches. Plus, there is no mess and will not put you in the poor house.
The glass top I had 25 years ago was easy to clean. I moved and bought a new one 2 years ago, it’s so hard to clean! I just don’t get it! The older ones were easier!
@@kathrynn3936 I totally agree. I had one for over twenty years and thought I should get another one before this one quits and I hate it! I’m so mad at myself. Nothing was wrong with my old one. It even looked good. What’s the issue with these newer ones? That’s why I’m watching videos. Also I have to say a lemon is NOT cheaper than cleaners. Has he priced one lately🫤.
This is an absolutely brilliant cleaning hack!! Thank you ever so much!! It occurs to me that this idea will also leave a pleasant fresh citrus scent behind it as well. 👍
So hate these new glass surface stoves, but am renting, so have to deal. I will try this. At least it will smell nicer than that cleaner that they sell. Thank you.
When the hob is still warm after cooking every day, just wipe it with a damp cloth and it should take most away and use a dry dish towel to polish it up. It takes 2 seconds.

Use Bar Keepers Friend powder, applied on a wet dishcloth to make a stiffish paste. At least it's available here in England, though elsewhere I wouldn't know.
Will this get rid of oil that's dried in too? Like if your pot was a little bit oily that you didn't notice on the bottom and then you've cooked your food and it's left that oil mark if that makes sense
Any idea how to get scratches out of a glass stove top? I’m trying all these different suggestions to get that stove top clean and not a whole lot works. I’ve done baking soda and water, stovetop cleaners. It’s a pain in the butt. I haven’t tried the lemon and baking soda like your video suggests, yet. I accidentally got my microfiber cloth too close to one of the burners that was still hot and it melted some of the cloth onto the burner and I can’t get it off. Any ideas? Yeah I know it was a bonehead maneuver. Lol.
We just bought one of these stoves for the first time a few months ago after a lifetime of electric coil burner stoves. Sure they look nice but it’s the stupidest idea that appliance designers have ever come up with! Pain to clean and have to wait for a cool down before cleaning and try to stir a pot or use a lifter in a frying pan and the pan/pot slides all over the place. Our old warped steel pots jiggled all over the burner when using and we had to go out and buy new pots, they never bounced around like the devil had processed them on the coil burners. I think my wife wishes we had brought our stove with is instead of leaving it behind for the new home owner when we moved.
Here the thing. I’ve lived numerous rental apartments with glass top and coil stoves. Old fashioned coil tops are the very best and can easily be cleaned in seconds with a pump of windex and a wipe down. The range top remains relatively cool and pot or pan splatter does not get hardened and baked in.
Hello there . Greetings from. GREECE. I have a scratching tool and I did an excellent job. Although , on the glass there are few white stains like ash..I belive that the burnera have residuals from the water..what do you think? Thanks in advance for your answer.
Gosh I hope this helps with a new oven. 😢I accidentally overflowed boiling water and now there's a dang stain I can't get off with that white oven top cleaner. It's got a tiny grit too it and still. My friend's deposit will be on the line come next year😢yikes😢
Lemons also contain a high amount of vitamin C, soluble fiber, and plant compounds that give them a number of health benefits. Lemons may aid weight loss and reduce your risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones, digestive issues, and cancer.
@@avalerie4467 Yeah, that's exactly what I am saying. Eat the lemon afterwards lol no kid, buy lemons for your water and use them to clean stuff instead of chemicals. Unless you don't care about your health. Lol you do you Val ☺
Thank you for this. My problem with both my stove tops is the "blue hue" that appears after a while. It's not dirt. It looks like the glass melted.... If you have a way to get rid of this, I would deeply appreciate for sure!
I just wash with dish soap... It's a degreaser anyway. Tiny bit of dish soap, rub it around, let it soak, and then water to dilute it and wipe it away gradually with a sponge. Takes like 5 mins of actual effort. How long it soaks for just depends on if anything has burned into the stove. I don't really spend any extra money cos I have dish soap for my dishes anyway.

Just wipe your stove clean BEFORE using it every day ... NEVER need to clean again.
How filthy is your stove that even after SCRUBBING you still can't get it clean?
Ffs

I use apple cider vinegar. A small cap full and smells nice.

How about an enamel cooktop. What recommendations do you have for caked on grease that feels like rocks.
Use Bar Keepers Friend powder, applied on a wet dishcloth to make a stiffish paste. At least it's available here in England, though elsewhere I wouldn't know.
I use a paint scraper, doesn’t scratch the glass and cleans the carbon off.
Tfw lemons are a dollar each. But ill try it using a smaller slice- thanks for the tip!
Does it take any white cloudiness?
That is the problem Im trying to solve...😢...
I take it this would work for the glass oven door also?
The oven door will have alot more baked on crude. I would only recommend Eazy Off Fume Free Oven Cleaner for that.
I use sprayway aerosol window cleaner and it works great
It works good; also baking soda and white vinegar does the same effect
These stoves are more trouble than they are worth.
