I have been using a formula I heard about. It uses: --Dawn Powerwash (spray all over) --Baking soda (sprinkle over the Dawn) --Hydrogen peroxide (a tablespoon or two) Mix together, then wait three minutes (not more!). After that scrub. It takes very little scrubbing and works well!

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Why "wait no More) ?

[@christinaford1801]

One thing I have learned with my glass top is that you have to wait for it to cool then do a layer of baking soda and lemon juice like a paste then take the scraper to clean. I think you only need a fraction of the Dawn and Barkeepers Friend because a little goes a long way and if you get too much on it’s very hard to rinse it off and leaves a film. I have also noticed that if I take a magic eraser and then rinse it also gets off a lot of the film and grease.

[@Lelizor]

I feel like the amount of product they use in this type of video is usually for show. Just like big companies do when it comes to bodywash/shampoo. It's a way to get the consumers to use more product and then end up having to repurchase the product sooner.

For the razor, they have "safety" utility blades that are rounded on the corners to help stop it from digging in

[@Elaine-qn7ls]

I have an induction stove with a glass cooktop. I never let residue from cooking sit longer than it takes to cool. I try to avoid spilling in the first place. But if I do, after wiping with diluted Dawn spray, I use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the surface and follow with a spray of alcohol. Works great.

[@alliemay6076]

My favourite way to clean then is to spread the stovetop cleaner in a thin layer and let it dry a bit first before scrubbing. It seems to make it easier. Less elbow grease needed. I’ve also noticed the more frequently it’s cleaned like this the better.

[@joshb5898]

The flat edge scraper is key. Use it with a mild abrasive like soft scrub, it works. Just be super careful that you hold it flat and straight. Extremely nerve-wracking using a metal blade on glass but it works well.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

My stove is 10 yrs old and it's not a showpiece. I don't care if I get a few scratches in the top. Eventually it will be tossed out for a new model anyway, possibly an induction version.

[@LauraGreaney]

I use oven off and spray the hard area and put damp paper towel over the sprayed area, it always comes out clean especially when honey or syrups spilled on the hot surfaces and hardens. It works very well using oven off. Sometimes you repeat few times until all is removed.

[@rbeck3200tb40]

I use a similar technique but the second step I use baking soda or powdered Bar Keepers Friend (because that's what I have on hand) and I use a power drill with a pad attachment on it. I place it on a blue scotch brite sponge that's moist and that usually takes care of it much quicker. Light pressure on low speed. You don't need to blast it at full RPM.

[@mdoe37]

Thankyousoverymuch! I am temporarily living in my parent's home that I just inherited. It has a black glass cooktop...which I ...absolutely...hate.... sigh. She loved it because it was "easy to clean". Except she missed those spots. There are some of those "spots" that just don't want to come out. I'll give this a go.

[@damham5689]

For over 10 years Ive used dawn as well as pot and pan stainless scrub pads. I know they say not to, but in my experience it does not damage the top. Those tops are tough and actually a ceramic glass mix specially made to take beatings from pots and pans use daily. Tops are much tougher than a drinking glass ,and the stainless scrubber don't scratch drinking glasses ( unless they are old leaded glass and not safe to drink from ) so why would they hurt a cooktop ?

I have used Weimans for years and it works great. It works better and faster than anything. I have found that using the microfiber towels work well.

[@michaelattoe5710]

The stove he is cleaning is basically spotless before he cleans anything. My experience with these stoves is that once you spill something on it and it is burned to the stove it will never come off unless the stove is cleaned as soon as possible once it cools down after an hour. Forget about trying to wipe anyting off the stove immediately because it makes the problem worse. It is also next to impossible to keep these stove tops from being scratched. Add to all of this that it is next to impossible to control the heat of the burners when cooking because the glass takes forever to respond to lowering the temperature on the the dial. Without a doubt, the next stove I buy will be a gas range preferably and if forced to go with electric it would be one with the old ring style burners. It always amazes me how glass top burners have proliferated despite the significant drawbacks.

I agree. In our new house that was what came with it. Want to change it soon.

[@sherricooley2572]

My method is similar but I use the weiman stove top kit which includes the cream, scrubber and razor. I spray the top with windex wipe it with a paper towel to get off surface debris and grease. Then use wiseman glass top cleaner with their scrubby you can tell at that point it any remains if so grab the razor no need to make a third step. Wipe off the Weiman cream with a paper towel and buff, it will be clean and polished and takes Les than a minute or two. I wash my top after each use and it looks like brand new.

[@goobfilmcast4239]

I use a quality a Oven Cleaning spray. It's a little smelly so I fire up the exhaust fan then spray the surface, spreading the cleaner over the top with a cheapie old paintbrush. Let it sit for an hour or longer for an excessively dirty cooktop .....and with a couple of clean terry cloth rags, wipe the surface off. Follow up by wiping the surface with fresh water and some paper towels. No scrubbing or razors needed and the results are outstanding.

Thank you for another great video!! Your tips have been so helpful for me! Could you do a video on how to clean heavily burnt on oil? I have a toaster oven that has accrued a heavy layer of black, rock hard burntstuff on the top side. The bottom comes off the toaster so I can reach it, Easy Off ate through the relatively lighter stuff (yet did a good job at it) but didn't get the badly burnt oil. It was also a bit of a hassle to use, left an odor for a while, and I accidentally might have etched the control panel with it... If you have any tips for breaking this stuff down, that would be awesome!!

[@CleanThatUp]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve actually been looking for a dirty toaster oven to clean for a vid. For the really burnt on grease I might recommend a razor blade scraper like I used in this vid. Spray on some oven cleaner and let sit for a bit then carefully scrape the area. It’s slow going but it should start to come up.
