Modern-day glass top stoves look amazing and can be really practical if you need additional counter space. However, they’re not as easy to clean as one may think. On the contrary, restoring a glass top stove requires proper maintenance and cleaning. Regular cleaning is important if you want your lovely, shiny cooktop to stay that way. Beware of those nasty frying pan drips that’ll try to sneak their way onto the burners and turn into stubborn stains.

How do you restore a glass top stove?

Restoring a glass top stove calls for hard work and may require being crafty, but here’s the good news: it’s not expensive. All you need is white vinegar and baking soda. This is a win-win situation: you get to use natural, eco-friendly cleaners and minimize pollution, while you simultaneously save money by not purchasing expensive cleaning products.

Make sure to use vinegar and baking soda separately to get the best cleaning results. Here’s how to go about it:

• Sprinkle the surface of your glass cooktop with white vinegar (after the burners have cooled off, of course) to eliminate grease and superficial dirt. Wipe it off.
• Coat the surface with baking soda, before covering it with a wet towel (previously soaked in hot water and well wrung). Let the towel sit for a while, to help release the compiled grime.
• Get to scrubbing! Baking soda is pretty phenomenal: being a mild abrasive, it helps get rid of persistent smudges quicker, without damaging the smooth glass surface.
• Scrape the leftover burned bits of food and spillages gently with a razor blade. And don’t forget to polish the surface with vinegar!

How do you remove stubborn stains from a glass top stove?

The cleaning process and outcome will differ depending on the cleaning product you choose. Here’s a simple 4 step guide to help you remove especially stubborn stains from your glass top stove naturally:

1. Drench a clean sponge in warm water and wring it out nicely before adding a hefty amount of baking soda.
2. Clean the smooth stove top by scrubbing in circular motions. This way you’ll remove stains without scratching.
3. Rinse the sponge and stove with warm water, before drying the top with a clean, gentle cloth.
4. If you’re dealing with particularly unyielding stains, take a cleaning cloth soaked in a cleaning solution (you can use a commercial cleaner too) and let it sit on the problematic area for a while. After scrubbing, wash off the cleaning debris, making sure you get everything.
