Introduction
A sparkling clean glass stovetop not only enhances the look of your kitchen but also ensures better cooking efficiency. However, cleaning glass stovetops can sometimes be intimidating due to their delicate surface. The good news is, with a few simple ingredients and quick steps, you can restore your glass stovetop’s shine without the need for harsh chemicals or expensive cleaners. This guide will walk you through an easy and effective method to keep your stovetop gleaming.
Ingredients:
Baking soda (1/4 cup)
White vinegar (1/2 cup, in a spray bottle)
Mild dish soap (a few drops)
Soft microfiber cloths (2)
Plastic scraper or old credit card (optional, for tough spots)
Warm water
Preparation:
Cool Down: Ensure your stovetop is completely cool before you start cleaning.
Initial Wipe: Use a damp microfiber cloth with a few drops of mild dish soap to wipe off loose debris and grease.
Sprinkle Baking Soda: Evenly sprinkle baking soda across the surface, especially over any stains or burnt spots.
Spray Vinegar: Lightly spray white vinegar over the baking soda. You will notice fizzing, which helps break down grime.
Wait: Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to loosen stubborn stains.
Scrub Gently: Using a soft damp cloth, gently scrub the surface in circular motions. For tougher spots, carefully use a plastic scraper or old credit card to lift residue without scratching.
Rinse and Dry: Wipe the stovetop with a clean, warm damp cloth to remove all residue, then dry it thoroughly with a dry microfiber cloth to avoid streaks.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Use a glass stovetop cleaner or polish occasionally to maintain shine.
Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that can damage the glass surface.
After cooking, wipe your stovetop after it cools down to prevent build-up.
Store cleaning ingredients like baking soda and vinegar in your kitchen for quick access whenever needed.
