One of the most common mistakes is using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. While it may be tempting to grab a wire wool or harsh cleaner to remove stubborn stains, they can easily scratch the glass surface. These scratches not only dull the look of your cooktop, but they can also weaken the glass over time, making it more susceptible to cracking. Cleaning While the Surface is Hot
Another common mistake is trying to clean your cooktop while it’s still hot. Many people believe that it’s easier to wipe up spills and splinters if the surface is warm, but this can actually set the stains into the glass. Additionally, using a wet cloth or cleaner on a hot surface can cause the surface to fog up, which can leave streaks or water spots.
Using Too Much Liquid Cleaner
Glass cooktops only need a small amount of cleaner. Using too much liquid can cause residue to build up, dulling the surface and creating a sticky layer that attracts more dirt. Excess liquid can also seep into the seams of the cooktop, potentially damaging the internal components.
Neglecting regular maintenance
Many people wait until their glass cooktop is visibly dirty before cleaning it. Unfortunately, by then, food particles and stains can harden, making them much more difficult to remove. Neglecting regular cleaning not only makes the task more difficult, but also increases the risk of permanent stains or damage.
