Helping you DIY your home one awesome project at a time
When we moved into our new (to us) house in Colorado, the glass cooktop had this gross baked-on film around each burner. After lots of elbow grease, trying every cleaning product under the sun, and some unconventional techniques, I finally figured out how to get all that gross film cleaned up.
Watch the following video to learn now to clean a glass cooktop!
See all my blog posts with videos here.
Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful week!
Not to rain on your parade but you can purchase an inexpensive plastic holder to house those blades which allows you a bit more leverage when scraping. Great results on your cooktop!
PS If you can’t find one, I will look up here (Ontario, Canada) and be happy to pop one in the mail to you. ~Bonnie~
Bonnie, thanks for the suggestion! I do own a few of them but I never use them because a) I can’t find them when I need them, and/or b) I don’t have as much control or leverage over the razor blade when using one. It is a good idea to try to use one though.
I don’t have a glass topped stove, so I haven’t researched this at all. Also, you might have objections to using chemicals. But what I do for glass baking dishes might work, here. I use Fume-Free Max Easy Off. I also use it, on occasion, on my S S cookware. It can’t be used on aluminum (which it looks like your burners are), but it doesn’t seem to have any effect on glass. A nice job on your stove, though. What have you used on the burners & covers? I’ve read that sticking the covers in zip loc bags with ammonia or vinegar works.
I’ll definitely look into the Fume-Free Max Easy Off. Thanks for the suggestion. As for the burners I just put them in the dishwasher and they came out clean.
There is hope!! OBVIOUSLY, it turned out beautifully … but can you talk to the faint of heart about how it didn’t scratch the glass?
It didn’t scratch the glass at all. Obviously be very careful when using a razor blade on your glass cooktop!
I really don’t like the squeaky sound when scraping off the foil using the razor blade! Lol. Good job on your stove though.
