A glass cooktop, like any other glass surface, will show even the tiniest spill, splatter, or smudge, making it appear dirty. Furthermore, any dried food that is not cleared off right away will burn onto the glass surface the next time you use your glass cooktop. Burned spills leave a sticky mess that might seem nearly difficult to clean up. And, here is the dilemma that every glass cooktop user has to deal with: How aggressively can a person clean without damaging the surface? Is there a way to get these things clean?
Cleaning It Daily
First and foremost, washing off the surface of a glass cooktop after every usage is the simplest method to keep it clean. Never use a scrub brush or scouring pad; instead, use a sponge moistened with water and vinegar, or a microfiber cloth. However, this could only be performed when the surface of your glass cooktop is no longer hot.
Washing It Every Week
If you haven't cleaned your glass cooktop in a while and are struggling with some stuck-on stains, you will have to use a more effective cleaning method. After the cooktop has cooled, spray it with white vinegar. After that, carefully add baking soda on top of the vinegar.
Cover the vinegar and baking soda mixture with a clean towel that has been soaked in warm water and squeezed thoroughly. Wait for 15 to 20 minutes for this combination to do its job. Take the towel and use a microfiber cloth to clean up the residue. To remove any streaks, spray extra vinegar and polish with a new microfiber cloth.
Cleaning It Thoroughly
When your weekly washing routine fails to eliminate the impossible-to-remove gunk, it is time to use the last method, which is using a handheld razor blade. You need to check the instructions carefully before trying this procedure. Then, you can spray vinegar over a cold glass cooktop to dislodge any burnt-on food.
Next, softly scratch at stubborn residue with moderate pressure on the blade while holding it as flat as possible. Use the corners carefully since they may scratch or damage the glass-top surface. Finally, you will wash away any remaining debris with a microfiber cloth, and repeat till the surface is clean and clear of gunk.
Conclusion
The above are ways to clean the surface of a glass cooktop that you can apply at home. Also, remember to follow the instructions thoroughly as well as clean it carefully to ensure the quality of your glass cooktop.
