Thank you so much for posting this video!! I really appreciate it! ❤

[@ccbowers]

Concentrated vinegar is convenient to have, but if you are going to dilute it that much (less than standard white vinegar), you might as well use standard vinegar that most people have on hand.

[@TomCarlson]

That was my question, too.

[@The_Ol_Bizzaroo]

I was wondering that. If 30% is 6x stronger, but then you dilute it 60 water to 1 vinegar, why not use regular and dilute it 10 to 1? As an aside, 10:1 seems like a pretty weak solution.

[@seejanedrill]

I clearly state that depending on how dirty the job is you'll need to adjest the ratio. In addition, I use 30% vinegar beyond cleaning. I use mine for weed control and in the laundry and in those instances plain white vinegar just won't do.

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

Here in the great PNW, we loves the 30% fer killin them pesky weeds💯..weeds only👍 but don't get it on your lawn🥺

[@johnmal5975]

I own a cleaning company and this will work 90% of the time. In those extra tough situations they sell glass compound that you can buff out with a drill and buffing pad. I would do this first because it does work 90% of the time and a lot less risk. Great Video!

This is good to know for the future especially for those that don't know how to clean glass top stoves. Mine stayed looking great because after every use I would use a pasty like cleaner I got from Walmart and these red hard sponges to clean it. If you don't clean these after every use you gonna get that build up.

[@kimchi8022]

My handyman recommended your channel to me and I’m so glad he did. I love that you explain EVERYSTEP to us like we’re toddlers. Even disposing of the paper towel lol Because honestly I’ll watch other tutorials and it’s almost as if they assume I have years of home maintenance experience already!!

[@mr.a.]

Yes I agree, she does a great job at teaching. I didn’t know how to use my circular saw properly until I saw Jane do it

[@kingbeauregard]

At the risk of restarting Vinegargate, I adapted your advice just a skootch for my purposes. I diluted some white vinegar in a cup, used a clean sponge to wipe down my stove in the vinegar, and then mopped up with a microfiber cloth. Looks a million times better now! You're right on the money about how effective vinegar is, thank you!

I looked for, but didn’t find, a video on changing out a garbage disposal. I’ve watched a few but they all assume that you know all the basics-and I don’t! I got the new disposal 6 months ago and am terrified to try to install it. And it’s exactly the same as the old one. I just subscribed so will keep an eye on your channel. Thank you!

[@enterwilderness]

Hi there my stove has a weird white film on it. I think I’ve use the bakin soda I’ve used easy off . I’ve used Dove power scrub. I’ve used easy off and nothing is helping me with that color. It looks like my friends bond hooka cool on it and after that, I lost the color Can you please please help me how to remove it I don’t think baking soda really help me. Is there anything else I should try?

[@Boyfromthecountry]

Thank you, you lovely enthusiastic person. 👍

[@Minerva-tn7cd]

I too, am a lady and madame, after watching just one of your videos I do believe you're the COOLEST lady I've ever seen in my life! Thank you! Just moved into a place with a glass top stove and although I've only used it once, already it's getting mucky. Can't wait to see more of your brilliant work. I'm disabled, and not even certain how to hang things on walls without destroying the wall (last place I lived had walls that might as well have been lead & I ended up velcroing my art to them :/ ).

[@jerryodell1168]

You can also clean the inside of the window of an air fryer that has a fold down door using the same method if you are very careful. Just understand the fryer cannot be used during the cleaning period. " NOTE ": It is always best to only use clean water when cleaning a Microwave Oven. It is never good to use harsh cleaners, vinegar, or any cleaners that will leave a residue on or inside the microwave. Microwaves are like radars and high frequency antennas. When we cleaned them we either used special cleaners or distilled water in measured amounts and carefully dried them before we energized the electronics.

[@FoulOwl2112]

I miss my glass cooktop. It's main drawback was it's slow "throttle response" for lack of a better term. But once you get used to thinking ahead you could still work pretty efficiently on it. Even if that means using two eyes at different heat levels and switching back an forth. But the easy cleanup just absolutely can not be beat. I wanted to go more "pro" sp l switced to a high end gas cooktop and oven. It cooks fantastic. And obviously the control one has over the heat is unbeatable. But talk about a P. I. T. A. to keep clean! It's a nightmare. Of course a quick wipe down is not too bad. But a thorough cleaning... Good lord! There's 21 individual pieces to disassemble and clean just on the cooktop and control panel alone! Great vid Leah! That's exactly how l used to clean my glass cooktop. Even the paper towel trick...

[@koalamama2]

Wow! I was wondering exactly this! Thank you for the super helpful comparison!

[@FoulOwl2112]

@@koalamama2 Yeah l honestly regret it. Dont get me wrong the gas is definitely a better stove. But it's really not worth the extra work it takes to maintain. 2 bigass heavy cast iron grates that l have to take outside to clean. Because they wont fit in the sink. 4 little rubber feet on each grate. Or they'll get lost. For a total of 8. 5 burner venturi with 5 cast iron flame deflectors. 5 stainless steel knobs to pull. Because if we're doing this, might as well get back there too right. With a corresponding 5 rubber gaskets behind the knobs to pull. Otherwise they'll get lost or damaged too. So counting all that up... Hell it's even worse than l thought. I miscounted before. It's more like 30 pieces! Im tired already and haven't even begun cleaning yet!

[@koalamama2]

@@FoulOwl2112 😭 That's barbaric! I will never forget! 🙏

[@theheartoftexas]

I have quite a few friends who have gotten nice gas stoves, and after the first few times they’ve used them and cleaned them, they’ve stopped cooking on them! It’s such an ordeal to clean them they don’t want to get them dirty. So they eat out or get take-out, or barbecue. Anything not to get the stove dirty!

[@Trixtah]

There's another alternative - induction cooktops. They look like glass/ceramic cooktops, but the "elements" don't glow and they use magnetic technology to heat your food, way faster and more consistently than a regular glass cooktop. The only drawback is that you need cookware made of ferrous material like steel and cast iron. You can get aluminium pans with a steel plate in the base that'll make it work, or even a steel trivet to place other pans on top of to receive the radiant heat (that's less efficient, though). It heats just as fast and hotter than gas, although the temperature control can be a bit harder to dial in - but it's very responsive when you get the hang of it. But it's way faster than a regular glass cooktop. It's more efficient than any of them - very low losses of energy since you're heating the pans, not the surrounding air and the top of the range. Finally, they don't give off the particles that gas can, which it turns out some people (like me) are sensitive to, and aren't really that good for anyone. They aren't cheap to buy, but they soon pay for themselves with the energy savings. And time saved with cleaning!

[@executive]

I use Cerama Bryte. It works like magic. Comet is pretty good too. You barely need to scrub it.

[@brankachristopoulos9609]

Amazing!

[@Tim-57]

Hey Leah Thanks, almost makes me wish I still had my old stove to try this...haha Take care

[@seejanedrill]

Dilute it according to your needs. You may need a ratio of 20 to 1, or 10 to 1, I've even used it 4 to 1.

[@SundaysChild1966]

I normally use dawn detergent, baking soda, and peroxide. Make a paste, then apply. Let it set for about 30-40 minutes and then wipe clean. Thanks for this new way to clean my glass top stove. I've subscribed.

Thanks Jane.

[@moniquenb1182]

wow! thanks!

[@daletwedell7889]

How does it compare to the convenience, energy, results and cost to the stove cooktop cleaner and scratchy sponge?

[@scottbroberts]

Why not use regular (5%) vinegar and dilute it less since you're significantly diluting the more concentrated vinegar?

[@seejanedrill]

See pinnef comment at top

[@theresak4343]

Leah, what about the white spots that seem to be under the glass? I've looked all over YT, and the only answer I found was you can't fix those unless you replace the cooktop. I love your channel, you taught me how to do many things.

[@seejanedrill]

I did not have that issue

I miss my glass top! My immediate go to when something boiled over or spilled and cooked on was to (once cooled) soak it in a dishsoap/ water mix and then put wet bath towel on top overnight. Quick wipe with the towel in the morning, everything came off and the towel could get tossed in the washer waiting for the next load of laundry.

[@1stJohn3.9-10]

The very first night I moved into my apartment, I cooked up 10 pounds of hamburger, so the grease had dripped underneath the pan, and it totally ruined my stove 1-1/2 years ago. I have not been able to get it cleaned off, so I need try this before my lease is up. I was reading through the Lease agreement, and each area has potential fees of $50-400!

[@tonysutton6559]

Does this work on the inside of a glass over door? I've been using a baking soda/vinegar mix and wiping it on the door for and heating the oven to 100°C for 20 minutes. It gets most of it off but it takes 100% of old fashioned elbow grease and 30 minutes with a non scratch scouring pad to remove the stubborn bits.

[@caboseisstupid]

Use just vinegar, spray it down and let it soak, a plastic scraper like an old credit card or purpose-made plastic razor scraper will do a lot for you there with minimal damage to the coatings on the inside. Don't bother heating it, you just make the acid evaporate faster, and mixing vinegar with baking soda just neutralizes both, if you want to do both do one, then the other after you wipe it down.

[@seejanedrill]

Some things unfortunately aren't easy...that's one of them

[@douglas26690]

Good advice for cleaning, but do you have any method to remove residue of metal cookware like pots for boiling water?

[@caboseisstupid]

If you mean cleaning the bottom of like a copper bottom pot, any "magic-eraser" type sponge will do a great job, I use those to clean any metal that tarnishes in the kitchen (like copper mugs or light rust on baking sheets). If you have scratches in the actual cooktop, that's another story.
