Cleaning Your Glass Stovetop: A Step-by-Step Guide | November 11, 2023

Annonce:

You don’t have to admit that you clean your cooktop twice a year or twice a day, but it deserves a good cleaning. How you do it is a topic worth discussing.

Quick cleanings don’t always get rid of the gunk that has embedded itself on the surface. Like the pot spills that build up around the burners. Or sauce splatters. Or dried oil splatters from whatever you cooked four days ago.

You’ve got to get rid of them. If you don’t have a store-bought oven cleaner (this works for stoves too) or a commercial cleaning solution on hand, you can do the job yourself. Make your glass plate, ceramic burners or stainless steel stove look fresh without any scratches. Check out the tips below!

1- Baking soda + towels

Make a little magic with baking soda! It’s all about sprinkling baking soda generously on your cooktop. Soak rags or towels in warm soapy water, then lay them on the surface. Check out the method by clicking on Clean My Space to see how easy and effective this method is!

2- Razor blade scraper:

You probably have a small razor scraper in your toolbox or garage, but did you know they are great for removing old food? Spray the surface first, then carefully scrape away burnt food and other debris. Push it down and away with gentle pressure. If you don’t have a scraper, you can buy one at a hardware store. Rubber scrapers are also an option.

3- Ammonia:

Whenever you work with ammonia, ventilate! For this method, you need to gather rags or paper towels and plastic wrap to cover them. This method is very effective for areas around the burners where dirt accumulates. You can remove the material from the burner if you wish.

Place rags or paper towels around the edges of the burner where they get very dirty. Pour ammonia on the rags until saturated. Use a small cup or spoon if necessary. Cover the stove top with plastic wrap for at least 3 hours or overnight. Remove the covers and wipe off.
