Cleaning a glass stove top may seem straightforward, but many people end up doing more harm than good by using the wrong techniques. The shiny, smooth surface shows every smudge, spill, and burnt-on stain. Worse still, improper cleaning can lead to scratches or permanent damage. With the right approach, you can achieve a sparkling stove top quickly and easily.
Common Mistakes People Make When Cleaning a Glass Stove Top
1. Using Abrasive Cleaners or Pads
Abrasive cleaners (like scouring powders or steel wool) can scratch the glass, dull its appearance, and create grooves that trap food particles.
2. Cleaning When the Surface Is Hot
Cleaning spills while the stove is hot can set stains and create steam, leading to streaks or burns.
3. Using Too Much Liquid Cleaner
Excess cleaner leaves sticky residue that attracts dust and can seep into seams, damaging internal components.
4. Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Waiting until the stove top is visibly dirty means food particles and grease have already hardened, making cleaning harder.
