When you own a glass top stove, you need to take extra care when cleaning it, or else the food will burn and stick to it, which can be difficult to remove. Thankfully, there are plenty of handy tricks and services available that will make your glass top stove look like new without breaking the bank!

Here are the best cleaning services tips and tricks for your glass-top stove.

Collect the cleaning materials

Place a towel on the stove to avoid any spills or scratches. Fill your sink with soapy water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Wet one corner of the towel with soapy water, then squeeze out the excess liquid. This will help you avoid leaving any streaks on your stove. Grab a sponge that’s been cut into quarters and use it to scrub the stovetop in circular motions. When you’re done, wipe down all the surfaces with a clean cloth to remove any residue from the soap. Repeat this process if there are still marks on your glass top stove after washing it once or twice.

Wipe with vinegar

You’ll need to use a paper towel or cloth to wipe with vinegar. You should never use a sponge, as it will scratch the surface of your stove. Vinegar is very acidic, so you’ll want to be careful not to leave any spots behind, or they may not come off easily. Keep wiping until you’ve gone over the entire surface. If there are any stubborn marks left behind, you may need to let the stove dry before trying again. After wiping, rinse with water and dry your stovetop thoroughly with a dish towel. Be sure that you’re using distilled white vinegar, which is milder than apple cider vinegar or malt vinegar (you don’t want these harsher ingredients damaging your stove).

Sprinkle baking soda

There are a lot of great glass-top stove cleaning tips out there, but today I’m going to share my favorite: baking soda. It’s an inexpensive household staple that you probably already have in your cupboard! To use it, sprinkle some onto a damp sponge or paper towel and rub the surface of your stove gently. The chemical reaction between the baking soda and the heat on the glass will help lift grease and food particles from your stovetop while also leaving it shiny. Plus, it’s non-abrasive so it won’t scratch up your stovetop either!

Cover with a damp towel

Wrap a damp, lint-free towel around the bottom of your oven door, being sure to cover the entire bottom. Turn on your stove’s self-cleaning function and let it do its thing. Once the oven has cooled off, take the towel off of the bottom of the door. The glass should be sparkling clean!

Scrub

Glass top stoves are often a focal point in the kitchen, so if yours is looking less than perfect, don’t panic! You don’t have to be a professional cleaner to get that shine back. In fact, there are plenty of things you can do right now to get your stove looking brand new.

Here are the best tips and tricks to clean your glass top stove:

• Wipe down the surface with a dry towel or cloth after every use. This will help reduce any spills or stains from setting in over time.
• Take a damp cloth (or sponge) and add soap and water then scrub the entire surface of your stove top, using gentle circular motions.

Scrape with a razor or scrub brush

Remove baked-on food with a razor or scrub brush.

1. Wash the stove top with dish soap, hot water, and a sponge.
2. If you have stubborn stains, use baking soda mixed with water to scrub them off.
3. Create a paste of baking soda and water to remove tough stains without scratching your stovetop surface too much.
4. Sprinkle lemon juice onto the stove top to get rid of odors as well as grease buildup from pots and pans that have been sitting on the burner too long during cooking sessions–the acid in the lemon juice is great at breaking down oils!

Finish with vinegar again

Never use ammonia or bleach on your stove, as they will damage the finish. Instead, use vinegar to clean the stove. Mix equal parts water and vinegar in a container, dip a cloth into it, wring out the cloth so it’s not dripping wet, then wipe down the stove. You can also spray an aerosol cleaner on the stove surface that contains ammonia or bleach instead of using these chemicals directly on the surface.
