Cleaning a glass top stove is not as scary or difficult as many people think. In my experience, I found that you do not need the special glass top cleaning agent with the special scrubber sponge that the manufacturer claims is necessary. (*Disclaimer- Not following the manufacturer's directions may damage your cooktop.) Again, this is my own experience that no damage has occurred from my cleaning practices. Any scratches that I have on the surface are from my pots and pans during cooking. All I use is a regular dish sponge with a scrubber side and Dawn dish soap. I use this method to clean my stove every time. Even with the dirtiest messes, including grease splatter from frying, your stove will be clean and shiny.
Step 1:
Wipe all debris off the surface.
*If you have burnt on rings around each burner, you can use a scraper (flat razor tool) to scrape everything up first. I usually do this once-twice a year.
Step 2:
Using a very wet, soapy sponge, wring out soapy water onto the surface of the stove.
Step 3:
Use the scrubber side of the same sponge to spread the soap on the entire surface and scrub in a circular motion until everything feels nice and smooth.
Step 4:
Either use the same sponge or a new soap free sponge to wipe up suds, rinsing between each wipe. The purpose of this is to clean the soap off the stove.
Step 5:
Use a dry paper towel to wipe up any excess water and soap so the surface is nice and dry. If you have any ridges or seams (as I do around the edge), be sure to use your fingernail to get the paper towel in the ridge to get out all residue and soap.
Done!! That's it!
