As a cleaner for 12 years myself who already knows how to clean cooktops, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and very much appreciate your videos! You have an excellent manner of describing the right way to approach things. Kudos to you!

One thing I have learned with my glass top is that you have to wait for it to cool then do a layer of baking soda and lemon juice like a paste then take the scraper to clean. I think you only need a fraction of the Dawn and Barkeepers Friend because a little goes a long way and if you get too much on it’s very hard to rinse it off and leaves a film. I have also noticed that if I take a magic eraser and then rinse it also gets off a lot of the film and grease.

I have been using a formula I heard about. It uses: --Dawn Powerwash (spray all over) --Baking soda (sprinkle over the Dawn) --Hydrogen peroxide (a tablespoon or two) Mix together, then wait three minutes (not more!). After that scrub. It takes very little scrubbing and works well!

It worked! Thank you so much! I thought I had ruined my new glass-top stove but this process returned it to looking new again.

I have an induction stove with a glass cooktop. I never let residue from cooking sit longer than it takes to cool. I try to avoid spilling in the first place. But if I do, after wiping with diluted Dawn spray, I use a clean microfiber cloth to wipe the surface and follow with a spray of alcohol. Works great.

For the razor, they have "safety" utility blades that are rounded on the corners to help stop it from digging in

I just bought this cooktop cleaner and another Barkeepers Friend spray because of other videos you’ve shared. Thank you for helping make my life more organized and productive.

Advice is needed for cleaning toaster ovens internally and externally. Even the manufacturers reps are clueless. Especially on glass doors.

I use oven off and spray the hard area and put damp paper towel over the sprayed area, it always comes out clean especially when honey or syrups spilled on the hot surfaces and hardens. It works very well using oven off. Sometimes you repeat few times until all is removed.

This is the best video on cleaning the glass top stove. Just cleaned mine the way he suggested and it looks amazing. Best tip was to use a new razor blade. I will never clean my glass top any other way from now on. Thank you so much. 😊

Best video on cleaning glass stovetops

The flat edge scraper is key. Use it with a mild abrasive like soft scrub, it works. Just be super careful that you hold it flat and straight. Extremely nerve-wracking using a metal blade on glass but it works well.

Bar Keeper's Friend is such a game changer. A girlfriend introduced it to me and I'm never letting go. Of the Bar Keeper's Friend, she got jettisoned years ago.

This guy is a boss. Never would have thought something menial like cleaning would have interested me, but he makes it so enrapturing, like a mechanic speaking about an engine he's rebuilt. Or maybe I'm just getting old 😅

My favourite way to clean then is to spread the stovetop cleaner in a thin layer and let it dry a bit first before scrubbing. It seems to make it easier. Less elbow grease needed. I’ve also noticed the more frequently it’s cleaned like this the better.

I have used Weimans for years and it works great. It works better and faster than anything. I have found that using the microfiber towels work well. The razor that came with my original Weiman glass top cleaner kit puts the blade at the right angle. I didn't know Barkeepers Friend had a stove top cleaner but I have used the powder for years and it works well.

I just discovered your channel - you really make cleaning sound like fun! Thank you for your great tips, very much appreciated!

This is my go to! Bar Keeper's Friend stove top cleaner is SUPER underrated. That stuff is GREAT!

this is how ive been doing it for 15 years on our stove. it still looks 95% new.

I cook baking soda on top off it and it comes off so easy

OMG this is awesome. I just got a new GTR and have only used it about 5 or 6 times. I had some marks that were showing up and for the life of me I could not get them off. This worked awesome Thank you thank you thank you.

Thank you for these videos!! You are such a blessing and you are so talented in cleaning knowledge, video talent, and communication! You gained this subscribed tonight with this video and the inside windshield one❤

Today I looked at my glass cooktop and wondered how to get rid of that residue. Few hours later I got this recommended for me. Weird but I’m thankful 🙏🏻

You give the best cleaning tips! Thanks for sharing! 🙌🏻

After initial cleaning, use a cordless drill with a small foam buffing attachment found at most auto parts stores. Apply cleaner to foam pad, set drill to low speed and cut your time in half for this job. EZ Peasy.

I might be a bit of an oddball but I find cleaning things well very satisfying.

My husband found a ceramic scraper to clean the glass cooktop. No chance of scratching and works great. I use Lestoil, scraper, then Weimans. 2-3 minutes and it's spotless and shiny

For over 10 years Ive used dawn as well as pot and pan stainless scrub pads. I know they say not to, but in my experience it does not damage the top. Those tops are tough and actually a ceramic glass mix specially made to take beatings from pots and pans use daily. Tops are much tougher than a drinking glass ,and the stainless scrubber don't scratch drinking glasses ( unless they are old leaded glass and not safe to drink from ) so why would they hurt a cooktop ?

I use a similar technique but the second step I use baking soda or powdered Bar Keepers Friend (because that's what I have on hand) and I use a power drill with a pad attachment on it. I place it on a blue scotch brite sponge that's moist and that usually takes care of it much quicker. Light pressure on low speed. You don't need to blast it at full RPM.

I never thought to use Dawn Powerhouse. That did a great job! Thanks.

Amazing! Can you give tips on how to rinse surfaces thoroughly without dousing it in water? Thanks!

Thanks for confirming that I'm doing it the right way. I actually have that same scraper.

I use Dawn Platinum dish detergent and powder Bon Ami if there are stuck on areas. I’ve been using The powdered Bon Ami on oven door windows for years also.

Did you read my mind? Today is the day I want to tackle this. Thanks for a great tutorial!

Just don’t let it get bad , wipe after every use and u don’t need to scrub

Scrape with a single razor first! ( Before applying cleaners). Use dawn/bar tenders keeper Then re-scrape if needed. A little Dawn goes a long way. Don’t over do. I’ve been doing this for years and my stovetop looks brand new.

This is so satisfying. Thank you! 😃💪💕

My method is similar but I use the weiman stove top kit which includes the cream, scrubber and razor. I spray the top with windex wipe it with a paper towel to get off surface debris and grease. Then use wiseman glass top cleaner with their scrubby you can tell at that point it any remains if so grab the razor no need to make a third step. Wipe off the Weiman cream with a paper towel and buff, it will be clean and polished and takes Les than a minute or two. I wash my top after each use and it looks like brand new.

I use a pot scrubber then rinse followed be auto rubbing compound. Works like a champ looks new after 20 years of use.

Thanks for the vid! I have a glass top stove which I hate. At least I know how to clean it now.

I make my own dawn power wash cuz I kept forgetting to buy it. It works great.

Thanks for the video! I've had luck soaking ours in Simple Green and scrubbing. Going to try the abrasive you suggested!

Great video once again!! Hope you can do a video on how to properly clean air fryers, especially when it’s a little bit smelly due to lots of different usage. I hand wash it and even put it on the dishwasher but it’s still has some food smells. Thanks in advance!! x

The stove he is cleaning is basically spotless before he cleans anything. My experience with these stoves is that once you spill something on it and it is burned to the stove it will never come off unless the stove is cleaned as soon as possible once it cools down after an hour. Forget about trying to wipe anyting off the stove immediately because it makes the problem worse. It is also next to impossible to keep these stove tops from being scratched. Add to all of this that it is next to impossible to control the heat of the burners when cooking because the glass takes forever to respond to lowering the temperature on the the dial. Without a doubt, the next stove I buy will be a gas range preferably and if forced to go with electric it would be one with the old ring style burners. It always amazes me how glass top burners have proliferated despite the significant drawbacks.

Hi there 👋🏻 I'm new here and already learning so much! I need help with cleaning my black stove top completely with burners and all. Thanks!

For day to day cleaning I use some sort of mild cleaner and then a spray of vinegar and newspaper gets it shiny! I do try and do this cleaning about every month to stop it from building up too much

My man here was so thorough he could probably clean up the streets of Gotham

Hey Brandon! Great job.

I have a random cleaning question…have not seen it on KZfaq yet. Definitely not common. I have a Tyndall fireplace that is not smooth and finished. So it’s stone, porous with texture. Any idea how to clean it? I’m on my big fall clean and I know the stone was built in 88 and I doubt it was ever cleaned. I’ve been here 3 years and I’m scared to try anything and ruin the stone! I know it was a grey/white color originally now it’s looking a lil dusty dull off white/brownish colour in some places.

Let BKF cleaner dry before scrubbing, then it helps your scrub effort as an addition abrasive.

I always use the scraper first. Get the big stuff out the way.

I had one of these stoves several years ago, and basically scrubbed the finish off, not realizing I was doing that. When I bought my last house, it had another one, and I am smarter: (1) I don’t scrape things across it. Hard, I know, but if I’m careful it’s all good. You cannot scrape pans back and forth over it (as I told my chef-wannabe son-in-law). (2) For tougher messes, I use a scraper and a paste of baking soda. (3) Once in a while I use a dedicated glass top cleaner and give it a good scrub. (4) Finally, for every day clean up, I use a Skoy cloth and Mrs. Meyers spray. Mrs. Meyers is liquid magic on the stove top, for some reason.

Thank you! You tips and directions are ALWAYS helpful. I’ve referred friends to your channel.

This isn’t a very dirty cooktop. Your Demonstration is good for the daily or weekly spills and burnt gunk. A couple years back I had a customer who had a truly filthy glass stovetop. Starting with a degreaser took only the most recent crud away, as expected. Skipping straight to a razor blade was a faster process of removing the crusty stuff. Degrease again, and another round with the blade, (it requires a brand new blade, anything that’s been used before will not be very effective, and will likely have a damaged edge, which will cause scratching) and when you use it to the point where it feels smooth to your hand, it’s time for the abrasive polishes (baking soda, Ajax, barkeepers etc.) to be used with a scrubby sponge thing. I learned this in the early 80s or so from my mother who had the first generation of glass cooktops. White glass. It lasted, looking like new until the elements were replaced enough times that the appliance had served its purpose. Decades. Now she has one that’s going on 10yrs, still looks like new. Mine, is an induction stove, 5yrs old and looks like new. I clean it every few days or weeks. After reviving, it never fully recovered, the one I described, because of pitting and deeper scratches, resulting in etching, it was finally replaced. His new one took only weeks before it was as bad as the original. Some people are simply not concerned about damaging their nice stuff, though he bought expensive appliances. I’m glad he pays me to fix his stuff, it’s like job security. 😊

Dually noted about using the razer knife blade 👍 I never thought to use that, worked great, thanks for that one missing key I couldn't find,lol👍 Cheers 🍻

If I don't have Bar Keeper's, can I use regular baking soda to clean up?

Hi Brandon, I have a stove like this. I noticed the back of yours, where the knobs are has streaks on it like mine. Is there a way to clean that up or is it stained forever ? Thanks so much !! Would love to hsve you deep clean my 2 houses !!! You are so good !! 😍

I put wet kitchen towel on the hob with washing up liquid, I leave it while clearing up the kitchen, when I remove the kitchen towel soaked in washing up liquid, everything has softened and just wipes off, I rinse well with a cloth and cold water, then polish with a soft dry cloth, no scrubbing or scraping.

Your cleaning advice is so good. We need more!

Now I'd like to see a WHITE glass cook top tackled. I recently moved into my home, and my disaster of a cooktop is near the top of my deep clean list! 🙂

I use a regular scrub daddy that is wet and put clay on it....the clay doesn’t scratch either! The clay also works on windows, mirrors, shower walls, etc.

I never use a razor blade anymore. I bought a drill attachment and that changed the whole game. Takes 2 minutes and it removes the toughest stain.

I missed where you said what time of scrubber you were using. Please advise. Thanks in advance for the helpful tips.

TOP MARKS MATE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙂🙂🙂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎯🎯🎯🔥🔥🔥

I read where wd40 works great on cooktops! Was going to try that since my cooktop isn’t that bad.

I use baking soda mixed with Dawn liquid dish soap…cheap scrubbing solution…no scratches or strong chemicals.

I’m going to try this! 😊 Thank you! Have a great day!

Curious what the difference is between a soft cleanser and glass stove top cleaner??

I needed this, very helpful. Thanks Brandon! 😊

I just use the stove top cleaner, a pad, made for glass and my razor blade. Then wipe with microfiber rag. Works great. If there is to much grease, I wipe away with rag first, then commence with the rest.

I use a quality a Oven Cleaning spray. It's a little smelly so I fire up the exhaust fan then spray the surface, spreading the cleaner over the top with a cheapie old paintbrush. Let it sit for an hour or longer for an excessively dirty cooktop .....and with a couple of clean terry cloth rags, wipe the surface off. Follow up by wiping the surface with fresh water and some paper towels. No scrubbing or razors needed and the results are outstanding.

I usually clean mine off with Soft Scrub; works great without scratching. It looks a lot like your BKF product. Do you know if they are similar?

Thankyousoverymuch! I am temporarily living in my parent's home that I just inherited. It has a black glass cooktop...which I ...absolutely...hate.... sigh. She loved it because it was "easy to clean". Except she missed those spots. There are some of those "spots" that just don't want to come out. I'll give this a go.

Nice to see a man clean my husband was afraid of a dishcloth and the broom

Beautiful shiny stove .great job.

I have had a glass top stove for ages and it was super easy to clean . We bought a kitchen aid with a glass top three weeks ago and after simple cooking on it it shows some scratching and some coil issues. I am very picky about keeping things clean but I can’t figure out how this happenef

Magic eraser is useful as well for this process

Weimans glass cook top cleaner & polish works the best in my opinion. Never scratches. I don’t recommend a razor blade at all. My stove top is 8 years old and is in perfect condition and is indistinguishable from brand new. Once a week every week. Takes about 10 min.

I use vinegar and dishwashing soap, sometimes the scraper and it shines

All you need is scrub daddy power paste. Works wonders on these tops.

Red or yellow plastic craft razors available on Amazon are a good, effective alternatives to a metal razor.

Is there a difference between cleaning a regular glass stove top and an induction stove?

Thank you for the information ❤

I clean my glass stove top as I go I do not let it sit after I clean up my dishes I wipes my stove , my aunt said clean up as you go you will less to do

That Dawn is powerful stuff.. you seriously don't even need half that much to clean!

For a stove top with a raised rim., would it make sense to pour water on the surface and let it sit and soften everything up?

I’ve tried all of these, dish soap, bar keepers friend, scraper and everything in between and they don’t work. I still have those burnt on stuff marks

Hi, this is Lori. Love watching your videos I clean homes as well ...u give good tips

I have an induction hob that looks clean enough, but there's always this 'film' on top that won't come off. I'll certainly try the Bar Keeper's Friend product, if I can get it. Thanks!

My niece gave me one of those glass top stoves and I really HATE them. Get hot too fast and take too long to cool down, but I did thank her..., 😂 !!!

There goes half my day on something that should take 2min.

For those ,I guess what you call Caramelized baked on stains which seem impossible to remove, yes the razorblade seems to be the best method. I just used the blade without any kind of cleaner. That way you have the best visibility to attack those stains. This is the only rational way to remove these types of stains. Just make sure, like you said in video, that to keep blade blade sharp, at angle, and clean. Use a blade holder. Its safest way and you can control blade angles and pressure better, Don't waste money or energy trying to remove these types of stains by using those cleaners!!

Thanks for sharing ❤🙏🏽

Spray the top with simple green, cover the top with a cloth dampened with simple green, cover that with plastic wrap so that it doesn't dry out. Let sit overnight, wipe it clean. Repeat as necessary for heavy build up.

Thank you!

Can you use Dawn degreaser to clean a glass oven door window, then possibly use Bar Keeper's friend glass cleaner if needed?

Super helpful. I have bar keepers cleanser. I wonder if that is just as good as the liquid?

My roommate go one of these stove I hate cooking on them because something was to spill you have to immediately wipe it up even though the surface is hot I have burn myself many times.

What would you suggest for cleaning black granite bathroom counters?
