How to Clean a Black Glass Stove Top

 My landlord decided it was time to replace the old stove in the kitchen, and last week a brand new black glass stove top stove showed up and was installed.  Awesome!!  

So what do I instantly do???  

Spill tomato soup onto the top and it bakes in from the heat.  I know you CAN'T use glass cleaner or anything abrasive, but the dish cloth simply was not enough.

I researched ways to do this with homemade cleaner and also researched commercial cleaners and I found the best solution for me.  It all depends on what type of crusty stain you have on your glass stove top, this decides the best way to clean it.

Homemade version:

Equal parts warm water and white vinegar.

Spray on cold stove top and then wipe clean with soft cloth.

This works on smudges and other lightweight staining, but it didn't work on my tomato soup crusty spill.

I tried the expensive cream cleaner that came as a sample with the stove and guess what??  

It didn't work ether and they are expensive!!.

FOR THE NASTY CRUSTY SPILLS...

After much experimenting, researching and a few bucks less in my pocket, I found the perfect product.  

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Original Cleaning Pads with Durafoam, White, 6 Count 

  

Unbelievable!!! and no scratching

It is affordable and can be reused over and over again.

Took it off right away, and no scratches.  I had never used this product before, so I purchased the basic one (you can get them for specific jobs such as bathrooms etc)  I purchased the general one.

You simply rinse it under some warm water and squeeze out the excess and it rubbed off the tomato soup crusty stain like it was nothing!

I was seriously impressed.


I know I try to lean towards homemade cleaners and ideas on this blog, but in this case my messy cooking practices beat the homemade cleaners.

The Homemade Recipe Cleaner is perfect for day to day, but if you need to get out the "big guns"  like I did, then this is one of the most affordable cleaners to keep in your house.

I think it is the type of material that actually takes the stain off, but however it works, this is now my "go to" for glass top spills.
