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!
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!
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 feel like the amount of product they use in this type of video is usually for show. Just like big companies do when it comes to bodywash/shampoo. It's a way to get the consumers to use more product and then end up having to repurchase the product sooner.
You are right until you mention the magic eraser, magic eraser give you cancer, so no don't use a magic eraser. The federal government has stated they cause cancer!!
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 love my baking soda,a little water and plastic scraper. Easy, cheap and effective and risk free. Plus I use my finger tips to feel if i missed a spot.
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 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. 😊
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.
My stove is 10 yrs old and it's not a showpiece. I don't care if I get a few scratches in the top. Eventually it will be tossed out for a new model anyway, possibly an induction version.
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 😅
That means so much, I really appreciate you watching and sharing such kind words. Cleaning can be a chore at times but I try my hardest to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible! 🙂
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.
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.
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.
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.
@ElbaRosano I bought the kit that had the razor blade at Lowes Hardware but I get just the cleaner at Walmart. I find it lasts a long time as you only use a small amount.
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 clean mine daily. Greas leaves a haze, I use dawn and wipe with a rinsed dishcloth to remove the soap, towel it dry, tgen go over it with a clean microfiber cloth made for glass.
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 🙏🏻
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
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 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❤
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.
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 ?
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 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.
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 🍻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 actually cleaned a stove top that had layers of burned grease on it which I thought I had to live with for ever since moving in to my new place and had tried everything except for the blade method and let me tell you I went from never seen the white rings to actually seeing them now. It obviously took me like half an hour of scraping and going over the surface area multiple times with the blade but the stove looks like new now
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.
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.
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
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 !! 😍
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!!
That dawn dish pray will get into your lungs, you know it because you can smell how strong it - that means you ARE breathing in too much of it. Use regular dawn.
I have a random cleaning question…have not seen it on UA-cam 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.
Great video and you got as clean as it will ever get But, I replaced mine with a gas stove, as even in your video None of these will ever be stain free for whatever reason They look great in the showroom but are ruined after you use it once, very dissapointing Also get matt black appliances vs stainless as they always get scratched and dented And you have to polish them with a special stainless cleaner with a microfiber cloth after every use They are another cleaning nightmare matt black looks cool and is easier to keep clean than white appliances Just my 2 cents

Super helpful. I have bar keepers cleanser. I wonder if that is just as good as the liquid?
Magic eraser is useful as well for this process
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 always use the scraper first.
Get the big stuff out the way.
I use vinegar and dishwashing soap, sometimes the scraper and it shines
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?
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!!
That dawn dish pray will get into your lungs, you know it because you can smell how strong it - that means you ARE breathing in too much of it.
Use regular dawn.
I read where wd40 works great on cooktops! Was going to try that since my cooktop isn’t that bad.
I have a random cleaning question…have not seen it on UA-cam 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.
Lots of videos on line how to clean stone fireplaces
I have melted plastic wrap on my cook top. Is there anything at all to remove this? I've used Dawn Powerwash & razor blades. A miracle would be great!
Great video and you got as clean as it will ever get
But, I replaced mine with a gas stove, as even in your video
None of these will ever be stain free for whatever reason
They look great in the showroom but are ruined after you use it once, very dissapointing
Also get matt black appliances vs stainless as they always get scratched and dented
And you have to polish them with a special stainless cleaner with a microfiber cloth after every use
They are another cleaning nightmare
matt black looks cool and is easier to keep clean than white appliances
Just my 2 cents
Curious what the difference is between a soft cleanser and glass stove top cleaner??
Mainly the price.
I clean apartments for work, and while I love the scrub daddy products, what can I use to the same affect as a scour daddy?
You can also use steel wool grade #0000
