The Secret To Cleaning Glass Cooktops Like A Pro! 

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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❤

This is so satisfying. Thank you! 😃💪💕

Thank you for the information ❤

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

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

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

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.

Thank you for this very helpful video and product suggestions.

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

Beautiful shiny stove .great job.

I needed this, very helpful. Thanks Brandon! 😊

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

Your cleaning advice is so good. We need more!

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.

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. 😊

Appreciate the tips!

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 🙏🏻

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

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.

Thank you!

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

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

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

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 🍻

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.

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.

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 😅

Gonna have to try this.

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

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

Well, that worked great! 👍😀👏

Hey Brandon! Great job.

Brilliant 👍🏻😃

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

I love your videos!

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.

How to clean your glass cook top. Use a glass cook top cleaner. Gotcha! Great information

Thank u

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

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 ?

thanks

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.

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

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!

Great video

I have enjoyed your comments on cleaning stovetops as you have shown! I have also had wonderful success with the “Bartenders”! My question now is I have some streaks of grime inside the glass door if my stove which is only 1 yr old! Any suggestions?

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

Hello ThankYou for the great info☺

Thx for your videos, I want to know what if the stoves plate is weared out. What other method or cleaner can be used

What would you suggest for cleaning black granite bathroom counters?

It was very interesting. I hope I succeed like you, so that I can better focus on cleaning. This method is also very important for washing carpets, and it is easy to wash carpets well at home.👍🏻✅🌹😊

Can I use the Dawn Power Wash in my oven and oven door? Thanks so much for this video.

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

No idea how this got in my feed but great job!

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

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

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

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

how long does the entire process take and how often do I need to do this?

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 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

Magic eraser is useful as well for this process

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

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 !! 😍

TOP MARKS MATE👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙂🙂🙂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎯🎯🎯🔥🔥🔥

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.

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. 😊

Good stuff

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

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! 🙂

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

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

What kind of cookware is best fo5fa glass stove top?

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

White vinegar is a great first step cleaner

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.

Were do u buy scrapper

From where I can get that razor which u used at the end ..

What do you use on the stainless steel part?
