Many enjoy the sleek look of the glass–top stove and not having to clean or replace drip pans or burner grates is especially beneficial. However, one of the disadvantages is that cleaning the stove is more important, especially since the spills and splatters are noticeable. With that in mind, we at Nadia’s House Cleaning would like to share some tips on how to clean the glass-top stove.
 

Glass Cooktop Cleaner Tips

The basics of cleaning of the glass-top stove are as follows:
1) Clean the stove when the top is only cool, do not attempt while it is hot.
2) Avoid the abrasive or harsh chemicals to clean the glass stovetop or you can scratch the surface and never over use cleaners that leave behind residues. To ensure your warranty is valid, consult the manual to ensure specific cleaners are not required.
3) To prevent unwanted scratches, do not use scouring pads and scrub brushed. Only make use of microfiber spongers or cloths. A razorblade can be used in the appropriate manner providing that any tough substances require more extreme measures.

4) After you remove the towel, take the microfiber cloth to wipe up the layers.

6) Buff away the streaks and dry with a separate microfiber cloth.
7) Repeat these steps if any residues linger if necessary.
