4. Neglecting regular
maintenance Many people wait until their cooktop is visibly dirty to clean it. Unfortunately, the food particles and fat can be hardened by this time, making them much more difficult to remove. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and makes it easier to keep your cooktop looking its best.
The Right Way to Clean a Glass Cooktop: The
Baking Soda and Vinegar Method If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to clean your glass baking sheet, my favorite method is to use two simple household products: baking soda and white vinegar. This method is gentle on your glass, but effective against stains and ensures thorough cleaning without the risk of damaging it. Here’s how to do it:
What you need:
Baking soda
White
vinegar Spray bottle
Microfiber cloth or soft
sponge Razor blade scraper (optional, for stubborn stains)
Hot water
protective gloves (optional)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Make sure the stove is cool
Always make sure your oven has cooled down completely before you start cleaning. This prevents any risk of burns and ensures that the cleaning solution does not evaporate or leave marks.
2. Remove dirt
Wipe the stove with a dry microfiber cloth to remove any dirt, crumbs or dust. This prevents the baking soda-vinegar mixture from becoming grainy and scratching the surface.
3.
Spray vinegar: Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray the oven generously over the entire surface. Vinegar is a natural degreaser and helps break down greasy residue, making it easier to remove burnt food debris.
