- When looking for an easy and effortless way of 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐞? There is no shortage of videos on glass top stove or cooktop cleaning tips and tricks ranging from baking soda, vinegar, and even hydrogen peroxide. After watching a few how-to cleaning a glass top stove, I see a lot of hysteria about using organic or natural cleaners on your stovetop!

If you are looking for info and tip on 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐞, you are at the right place! I was a teenager when my parents remodeled their kitchen and remembered my mom walking into Jefferson Ward (the "Best Buy" of the '80s) and purchasing her first glass top stove. That particular unit was not a full-size stove but rather a top that inserted into our granite countertop. I also remember my mom struggling to keep the thing clean. She would spend hours every Sunday after church and even some times on Saturday night, if had people coming over for brunch, to make sure the kitchen looked presentable. Yes, despite all of this, if you ask my mom what type of stove she would rather have, she will tell you, without hesitation, a "glass top stove."
I happen to agree unless you have the means and are willing to purchase one of those designers' six-burner gas stoves (nothing more than a commercial stove with a brand sticker on it!) for about $10,000+, also choose a glass top stove. Another issue with a gas stove is the need for space. I have a friend who has one, and the thing is probably as wide as to of my glass top stove. Number two is the availability of city gas! Unless your house has access to city gas, I don't recommend you getting a gas stove! I lived in the keys for a while and did the tank thing! Trust me when I say it is not the way to go, and if you have a gas BBQ grill, you can probably relate. How many times have you gone out to your back yard with a tray full of ribs to find out your grill is out of gas or even worse, you start grilling and halfway through one side, the burner turns off because you ran out of gas! Trust me, unless you have city gas, stay away from gas appliances, especially if you also intend to have a gas water heater and others.
The biggest complaint that many new owners of glass top stoves have is that they get dirty very quickly, and sometimes it is hard to get them clean. That is the reason I made this video. If you have the right tools and products, 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐯𝐞 is no big deal, and if you use the tips discussed in the video, you'll appreciate how less dirty it gets.
Should I Choose A Glass Top Stove?
So, after setting the glass top stove vs. gas stove conversation aside, your only other choice is what is called an "element" stove. Grand you that today's electric element stoves are a bit more sophisticated than they were just a decade ago, with some of these units offering a sealed design that keep boilovers and oil from dripping into the pan below, they are still inefficient and in many cases stuff still drips into the tray below. By the way, this also the case for gas stoves! If you have a boilover. You'll be taking it all apart to clean it!
What do I mean by inefficient?
Stoves like hair dryers get rated on the amount of heat they produce. We measure this in BTUs or British Thermal Unit. The British thermal unit is a non-SI, traditional unit of heat specified as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is also part of the United States customary units. When it comes to BTU's and stove gas has an advantage and that is why it is the choice for all commercial applications. Don't matter what Tesla and others tell you Gasoline is about 30 times more energy-dense than electricity and that is why we'll never have an electric top fuel dragster! Natural gas and even propane have similar properties.
For this reason, to compare a gas stove to an electric is not a real apple to apple comparison. However, when comparing electric element stoves to glass top stoves is not fair either. It is like they say don't bring a knife to a gunfight. The huge difference between electric element stoves and glass top stoves is in the design of the burner. Where in the electric element, the "element" aka the burner is just resting on a deck lid (stovetop) on a glass top stoves the heating element seats on a porcelain mold the direct the heat upward. The second advantage is the way temperature is controlled. Regular stoves use what we know as a voltage divider to control the temperate. That is a way to control how much electricity flows to a load. Glass top stoves, on the other hand, use sensors that turn that burner on and off. This way is a much better way to not only save on the use of electricity but also control temperature!

My rent house stove top was very bad. Nothing else worked until I found your WD40 video. I let it soak in overnight. Next day it scrapped of pretty easily; one hour of scrapping. You have to take little bites at a time, working from outer edges. I thought I'd have to replace the top - now it looks brand new with DW40
Glad it helped! Thank you for sharing...
Thank you! Your glass top was finished the cleanest of all the videos I watched
... Awesome! Thank you! This video was one of my first and think I need to re-do it because polishing the glass top is key in keeping it from getting super dirty! Once again thank you for stopping by!
New sub here in SW FL- the name of this channel is the best! Muchas grascias
... you are welcome and Thanks for the sub!
Game changer…excellent video❤ It looks awesome, I can’t wait to get the supplies
I try to clean it everyday, but I can still see areas that are not clean.
Yes! Thank you for stopping by!
This just changed my life lol Thank you!
... that is *AWESOME,* you are very welcome, and thank YOU for the visit!
Going to try this! Thanks
Did it work?
It’s work like a wonder:) thank you
You're welcome! ... thank you for watching!
I didn't even know it took this much ! Omg! I have a glass top stove now and all I did was use dish liquid
But it never looks how I want it lol now I know why
...I love my *glass top stove* but they can be a hand full when it comes to cleaning! I think the trick is to not let it get really bad. I clean mine 2-3 times a week and it stays pretty clean! BTW - Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much! The pink stuff and baking soda/vinegar didn't work, but the scraper helped get the milk stain off the glass stove.
Glad it helped! ...thank you for stopping by!
I enjoyed your video. I would never have tried WD40. Very helpful. One thing I wanted to say is single edged razor blades sharpen very well in a hand held knife sharpener. I prefer using sharp blades. Using a knife sharpener saves time, money, and recycling.
… thank you for stopping by! I use WD-40 for its property to soften or dissolve carbon deposits, but there is an array of other chemicals that provide similar results. I myself don’t mind sharpening blades and knives and own several honing stones. However, in this instance, and the fact that we are working on a glass surface, a new, perfectly square blade is desired!
Thank you for such a great video but when your now using the versa to apply the shine which head are you using ? Still the blue one ? Or the sponge one ?
...hi, thank you for commenting. For polishing you want to use the white sponge with the skirt, because it splatter all over!
Great video but was wondering if you can lift the top of the glass top stove kinda like the old burner stoves with drip pans to clean underneath of it!
Thank you.
... thank you for watching, and you are too kind! This is one of my first videos, and I have to admit, not one of my best! As to your question, no, at least not on mine, which is a Frigidaire (and I hate it!) My mom has a Kenmore, and she does not lift either. It would be too heavy, I think. About 70% of the weight of the stove is the glass top, which sits on a stone slab where the heating elements rest.
What gets under a glass top? Mine is the same sheet of glass over the entire top. Nothing goes under. Why would it need to be cleaned underneath?
I like it 👍👍👍
... thank you!
Do you have a method if, by mistake, pans have left scratches on the burneres?
Thank you sir
... you are very welcome, and thank you for stopping by!
Thanks. Were you able to remove scratches with this method? A tip for easy cleaning of grease. If you take tea bags and brew tea: you can even use the ones you previously made tea with, it will remove a lot of grease; so easy way to keep grease from building up and it’s so easy to do you can do it daily without having to go through a deep cleaning which cuts down on how often you have to do a deeper cleaning.
... *AWESOME* great to hear and sharing!
How? Tea bags? Wouldn't the tea bags break apart?!
Thank you! Great video ❤
Where did you get the lil pl polisher from ??
What about upkeep so it doesn’t get that bad to begin with? What is a good every time upkeep?
…. Thank you for stopping by. The key is polishing the surface and if you cook as much and often I do, ceramic coating is ideal. This is something I need to revisit and will soon. I made this video long time ago and it is really bad quality wise.
Have you tried using a mixture of lemon with Vodka?
Question... do you think this process would take away those pesky withish clouds on the glass? I have a stove that was never taken care of by previous owners... I cleaned it to a T, but there is on element that is cloudy and another one that seems to be brown stained... evventhough it is clean... I don't know what to do as I can't afford to buy another glass top but don't want my stove to like is dirty 😔
Hi Amyah, thank you for your comment! It is hard to say if the white ring around the burner is a rub mark, burned-on grease, or hard water. I would consider the WD-40 and straight edge scraper since it is the most affordable. However, it sounds like it's been there for a while, so consider leaving it there for some time. Maybe a long as an hour or more! The WD-40 will not do anything to the glass, but it does an excellent job at breaking down oxidation and challenging stains. If the stain results from a rub mark, you may need a rubbing compound and the small polisher I used on the videos. If you don't find it at your local big-box store, here is a link to it - amzn.to/2Vbsudb We don't really have many scratches on our stove but nevertheless I am considering doing a video on polishing out scratches! Stay tuned!
@@CubanRedneck Well, it is not a white ring and it is nothing crusted as I succeeded to clean everything to a T ... but in the middle of that element, it looks like a big whitish milky cloud... so maybe I will look for a rubbing compound or a glass polisher with the little tool you had (I want one, soooo useful) ... Will try... hope it will work...
@@amyahdocq8835 Thank you for your reply. As I said, it is hard to judge without seeing it, but I think you are on the right track! Let me know how it works out…
Did you get the cloudy stain out? I have the same issue.
Yeah- same here. Not even a year old and cloudy and white in the middle of the burner!
I hate glass tops pero ni modo. Thanks for the tip.
... how about cleaning your ceramic pans ruclips.net/video/-ZdBTPdFQuA/видео.html
Cant wait to try WD40 on my glass top stove.
… thank you for stopping by! Please know that any type of solve capable of softening carbon deposits will work!
What is it about WD 40 that is beneficial ? Can you explain please?
... hi, thank you for stopping by. If you are unfamiliar with WD40, it was initially designed to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. However, its ability to loosen rusted bolts and parts with carbon deposit has made it a household item. In this particular application, the objective was - one, to help soften or dissolve the carbon deposit left behind (burnt grease) and, two, to provide a lubricant to minimize scratches caused by the scrapper. I used WD-40 because it is the cheapest and found everywhere, but other rust-loosening products, such as PB Blaster Penetrating Catalyst, Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil, and others, will work similarly.
😊
How to check and change Burners on a flat top stove
... hey thank you for stopping by. As to working or not working it is pretty simple to figure out with a touchless voltage detector. Turn the burner on touch the glass with the tester, if there is power on it the coil is gone. As to replacing the burner, these usually come in modules. Here is the module for mine - www.amazon.com/dp/B00M10AFFW?tag=vert0a-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1
Even if you find just one burner, understand that these are like light bulbs with a life expectancy expressed in hour. If one when, the next is sure to go out soon. That's why they sell it as a module.
Can I use to clean up aluminium foil melted ?
... it's worth a try! Aluminum should not adhere to glass but if carbonized it may have some grip. Let it soak with WD40 and consider a good quality blade!
Do NOT use aluminum foil ! Look in your owners manual and it says to keep aluminum foil away from stove top period.
.... unfortunately it is a part of cooking and mistakes do happen. Thank you for sharing!👍
The scene cut at 5:04 represents a whole lot of elbow grease and time.
… thank you for stopping by! May I suggest TikTok, that’s where those that don’t last 30 sec find satisfaction
The WD40 seems to be a solvent for the caulking around the cooktop. I liked the result but would not let it leave the burner area next time.
…wow, good to know. Thanks for sharing! Consider using an all-weather cocking. They hold up to petroleum-based products a little better.
@@CubanRedneck I have American Home Shield to do that kind of work. I just clean. This snow day was the opportunity to clean the cook top and polish my silestone. Thanks
Please add link to WD40, I googled and several results, not sure which one is used in the video.
Thanks!
.. hi Vicky, thank you for stopping by. What do you mean by link to WD40?. That is available everywhere. BTW, people have reported the several other stain removing solutions like *Goo Gone Adhesive Remover* and car *Car Bug Remover* also works quite well. The point is to not only soften the carbon built-up but to also provide lubrication so that the scrapper does not scratches the surface. So if you have anything like that try it before running out tp get something new.
Come. Cook. For. Me. Lol
... LOL, thank you for stopping by!
video starts at 2:05
... thank you for stopping by! ... the videos actually starts at 0:00, perhaps you meant that the part that interested you is at 2:05! May I suggest TikTok!
WHAT HAPPEN TO YOUR PROVIDING A LINK FOR THE DREMEL VERSA?????
...thank you for stopping by! Here is a direct links - www.amazon.com/dp/B079D7XDTN?tag=vert0a-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 and I believe that here are links on the blog as well cubanredneck.com/how-to-clean-a-glass-top-stove-or-cooktop/
Please feel free to let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Ever tried a car polisher?
… yes, I have, and if you have access to a MEGUIAR mirror glaze ultra pro finishing polish, that is an excellent choice because that is a great job at removing micro scratches from the glass top. But, that is not only expensive but a little specialized. That's why I did not mention it!
@@CubanRedneck Thanks for the info, I already have a car polisher but not the dremel
... that work just fine if not better! The only thing that I like about the Dremel is the skits they have for it. It keep the splattering under control.
Just crazy how you have to clean the top of the stove like this. Who in the world wants a class top. No me. But I have on and it’s a pain in the but. Oh I thought you said this was easy and fast the way your mom said. 🤔
... I totally agree! Thank you for stopping by.
Have your tried toothpaste?
…thank you for commenting! Toothpaste work great for polishing after it is clean especially those with baking soda or charcoal but I feel they are not as effective in cleaning stubborn burn grease and sauces from the stove top. I do use toothpaste on my ceramic pans all the time.
