The Easy, Low-Effort Hack to Clean Your Glass Stove Top
Now that we’ve covered what not to do, let’s talk about a simple, effective hack that will make cleaning your glass stove top a breeze.
The Baking Soda and Vinegar Method
What You’ll Need:
Baking soda
White vinegar
A spray bottle
A microfiber cloth or soft sponge
A razor blade scraper (optional, for stubborn stains)
Warm water
Instructions:
– Step 1: Make sure your stove top is completely cool before starting the cleaning process. This prevents streaks and ensures safety.
Remove Loose Debris: Wipe the stove top with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any loose debris or crumbs.
– Step 2: Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and generously spritz the entire surface of the stove top. Vinegar is a natural degreaser and helps break down any greasy residue.
– Step 3: : Lightly sprinkle baking soda over the vinegar-coated surface. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that will help lift off any burnt-on food particles without scratching the glass.
– Step 4: Allow the vinegar and baking soda mixture to sit for about 15 minutes. During this time, the two ingredients will work together to soften and lift stubborn stains.
– Step 5: After 15 minutes, use a damp microfiber cloth or soft sponge to gently wipe away the baking soda and vinegar mixture. The stains should come off easily, leaving your stove top clean and streak-free.
Use a Razor Blade Scraper for Stubborn Stains (Optional): If you encounter any particularly stubborn spots that didn’t come off with the baking soda and vinegar, carefully use a razor blade scraper at a low angle to gently lift the residue. Make sure to keep the blade flat against the glass to avoid scratching.
Final Wipe: Once all stains are removed, do a final wipe-down with a clean, damp cloth to remove any remaining residue, then dry with a dry microfiber cloth.
