HOW TO CLEAN A GLASS STOVETOP

Glass stovetops give off a sleek and modern look while also eliminating the hassle of drip pans and burner grates. However, the smooth, reflective surface also means that every splatter or spill is instantly visible. Even small messes can bake on quickly, which makes regular maintenance essential.

The key is finding a cleaning product that is strong enough to tackle greasy residue without damaging the surface of the stove or leaving caustic chemicals behind.

Home-remedy cleaners, such as baking soda and white vinegar, are not the best ways to clean a glass stovetop, as they can leave behind residue that could lead to another round of cleanup. It's also important to use the right tools to clean and avoid abrasive items such as scouring pads and even paper towels, as over time, these can scratch the surface of your glass stovetop.

The easiest way to keep your glass stovetop clean is to wipe it down after every use with a microfiber cloth or sponge and water. For a deeper clean, use the directions below once a week.

Directions for Cleaning a Glass Stovetop:

Tip: Check the stovetop manufacturer's manual before cleaning and spot test on a small, hidden area first.

Tip: Always allow the stovetop to cool completely before cleaning. Never apply cleaning products to a warm or hot surface.

1. Dilute. Mix ¼ cup of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner Lemon Scent with 2 ½ cups of water in a dilution bottle or empty spray bottle.
2. Apply solution. Spray the solution directly onto the glass stovetop. Let the cleaner sit on the surface for a couple of minutes to ensure it degreases as much as possible.
3. Scrape off debris. If necessary, use a razor blade to scrape off any stubborn baked-on food. Carefully hold your razor blade at a 45-degree angle and lightly scrape at the debris until it is gone. Avoid using the corners of the blade, as it can scratch and permanently damage the surface of the stovetop.
4. Wipe. Wipe the surface with a clean, damp microfiber or lint-free cloth, or use a sponge.
5. Restore shine. Spray Simple Green Ready-To-Use Glass Cleaner directly onto the surface.
6. Wipe again. Wipe one more time with a clean, damp microfiber cloth, lint-free cloth, or a sponge.
7. Air dry. Allow the surface to air dry before using.
