When thinking about how to clean a glass-top stove, it’s important to consider the inevitable burnt-on rings around the burners or epoxy-like gunk that just won’t disappear. When used properly, a razor blade can be your glass-top stove’s best friend.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
1Step 1Check manufacturer's instructions.
Before you use a razor blade on your glass-top stove, be certain to check your manufacturer’s instructions. If your manual advises against using a razor blade, heed that recommendation.
-
2Step 2Make sure surface is cool
Never clean your stovetop while it is hot.
-
3Step 3Spritz with vinegar
Spritz any offending areas with vinegar to help soften burnt-on residue.
-
4Step 4Scrape with razor
Scrape the residue gently with the razor. Here it’s very important to hold the razor properly: Do not use the corners of the blade or you can etch your stovetop. Rather, hold the cutting edge at a very slight angle from the top of the stove. It should be as flat as possible. Use this to lightly scrape at debris until it comes free.
-
5Step 5Wipe
Wipe away residue with a clean microfiber cloth.
Repeat the above steps if necessary.
