Deep Clean
Life is busy, and it’s not always realistic to carve out time after every use to clean your stovetop, especially if you cook on it multiple times a day. If you’ve let the spills accumulate for too long, a good, deep clean is just what you need.
Razor blade method
Razor blades are a great way to remove hardened gunk from your glass stovetop — if you’re super-duper careful. Read your stove’s user manual first, and make sure it’s okay to use a razor blade on your model.
What you’ll need:
What to do:
Spray the vinegar on any stains then hold the blade as flat as you can so that it’s nearly flush against the surface. Lightly scrape the stains off and wipe the surface clean with a microfiber cloth. Repeat this process as necessary until all residue is removed.
Soak method
If you can’t use a razor blade on your stove, try this method instead. It gives an excellent deep clean and requires less elbow grease than using a razor blade.
What you’ll need:
What to do:
Mix about three parts baking soda to one part water to form a paste. With a gloved or bare hand, slather the mixture across your stovetop. Wet your microfiber cloths under hot water, wring them out, and lay them on top of the paste. Let the whole shebang sit for thirty minutes, then use the microfiber cloths to wipe off the paste. For reluctant stains, or if the paste is too hardened to easily remove, spray a bit of vinegar on the stove top, allow it to fizz, then wipe away.
