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!

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 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.

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.

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.

I know it was a grey/white color originally now it’s looking a lil dusty dull off white/brownish colour in some places.

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.

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. 😊

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!!
