What You’ll Need:
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- A spray bottle
- Microfiber cloth or soft sponge
- Razor blade scraper (optional, for stubborn stains)
- Warm water
Instructions:
- Cool the Surface: Make sure your stove top is completely cool before starting to prevent streaks and ensure safety.
- Remove Debris: Wipe the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to clear away any loose crumbs or debris.
- Spray Vinegar: Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and generously spray it over the entire stove top. Vinegar is a natural degreaser and helps break down grease.
- Add Baking Soda: Lightly sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar-covered surface. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that lifts stubborn burnt food without scratching.
- Let It Sit: Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes so the ingredients can soften tough stains.
- Wipe Clean: After 15 minutes, use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe away the mixture. The stains should come off easily, leaving your stove top streak-free.
- Stubborn Stains? If there are any tough spots left, carefully use a razor blade scraper to lift them, keeping the blade at a low angle to avoid scratching.
- Final Wipe: Do a quick wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue and dry with a microfiber cloth.
Why This Works:
- Baking soda is a gentle yet effective abrasive that won’t damage the glass, and it also neutralizes odors from burnt food.
- Vinegar is a powerful natural degreaser that makes it easier to clean grease and grime without harsh chemicals.
- This method uses safe, natural ingredients—no risk of damaging your stove top or leaving behind toxic residues.
Regular Maintenance Tips
- Clean Up Spills Right Away: If you spill something, wipe it up as soon as the surface cools down to prevent stains from setting in.
- Use a Stove Top Protector Mat: These heat-resistant mats prevent scratches and make cleaning easier. Plus, they’re easy to remove and wash.
- Quick Weekly Wipe-Down: Even if your stove looks clean, wipe it down once a week with vinegar and a microfiber cloth to prevent build-up and keep it shining.
By avoiding common mistakes and using this simple, low-effort hack, your glass stove top will stay sparkling clean. Not only will your kitchen look amazing, but you’ll also extend the life of your stove, keeping it in top condition for years to come.
