Concentrated vinegar is convenient to have, but if you are going to dilute it that much (less than standard white vinegar), you might as well use standard vinegar that most people have on hand.
I was wondering that. If 30% is 6x stronger, but then you dilute it 60 water to 1 vinegar, why not use regular and dilute it 10 to 1? As an aside, 10:1 seems like a pretty weak solution.
I clearly state that depending on how dirty the job is you'll need to adjest the ratio. In addition, I use 30% vinegar beyond cleaning. I use mine for weed control and in the laundry and in those instances plain white vinegar just won't do.
I own a cleaning company and this will work 90% of the time. In those extra tough situations they sell glass compound that you can buff out with a drill and buffing pad. I would do this first because it does work 90% of the time and a lot less risk. Great Video!
I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked. I had accidentally sprayed cleaner on a hot glass stovetop a few months ago and your technique removed 99% of it. Thank you so much!
My handyman recommended your channel to me and I’m so glad he did. I love that you explain EVERYSTEP to us like we’re toddlers. Even disposing of the paper towel lol Because honestly I’ll watch other tutorials and it’s almost as if they assume I have years of home maintenance experience already!!
This is good to know for the future especially for those that don't know how to clean glass top stoves. Mine stayed looking great because after every use I would use a pasty like cleaner I got from Walmart and these red hard sponges to clean it. If you don't clean these after every use you gonna get that build up.
At the risk of restarting Vinegargate, I adapted your advice just a skootch for my purposes. I diluted some white vinegar in a cup, used a clean sponge to wipe down my stove in the vinegar, and then mopped up with a microfiber cloth. Looks a million times better now! You're right on the money about how effective vinegar is, thank you!
Good to know. For my glass top stove, I found using Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend really helpful. I've never scrubbed a stovetop as much as I have a glass top stove. Glad I was able to return to cooking with gas.
I’ll remember this but I use a stovetop cleaner, baking soda and a small paint scraper for the big stuff. 18 years old and it looks still looks like new!
Hi there my stove has a weird white film on it. I think I’ve use the bakin soda I’ve used easy off . I’ve used Dove power scrub. I’ve used easy off and nothing is helping me with that color. It looks like my friends bond hooka cool on it and after that, I lost the color Can you please please help me how to remove it I don’t think baking soda really help me. Is there anything else I should try?
Just found your channel a few minutes ago, and have already watched several videos. You’re terrific!!! Thank you for clear, detailed, concise content! I looked for, but didn’t find, a video on changing out a garbage disposal. I’ve watched a few but they all assume that you know all the basics-and I don’t! I got the new disposal 6 months ago and am terrified to try to install it. And it’s exactly the same as the old one. I just subscribed so will keep an eye on your channel. Thank you!
I miss my glass cooktop. It's main drawback was it's slow "throttle response" for lack of a better term. But once you get used to thinking ahead you could still work pretty efficiently on it. Even if that means using two eyes at different heat levels and switching back an forth. But the easy cleanup just absolutely can not be beat. I wanted to go more "pro" sp l switced to a high end gas cooktop and oven. It cooks fantastic. And obviously the control one has over the heat is unbeatable. But talk about a P. I. T. A. to keep clean! It's a nightmare. Of course a quick wipe down is not too bad. But a thorough cleaning... Good lord! There's 21 individual pieces to disassemble and clean just on the cooktop and control panel alone! Great vid Leah! That's exactly how l used to clean my glass cooktop. Even the paper towel trick...
@@koalamama2 Yeah l honestly regret it. Dont get me wrong the gas is definitely a better stove. But it's really not worth the extra work it takes to maintain. 2 bigass heavy cast iron grates that l have to take outside to clean. Because they wont fit in the sink. 4 little rubber feet on each grate. Or they'll get lost. For a total of 8. 5 burner venturi with 5 cast iron flame deflectors. 5 stainless steel knobs to pull. Because if we're doing this, might as well get back there too right. With a corresponding 5 rubber gaskets behind the knobs to pull. Otherwise they'll get lost or damaged too. So counting all that up... Hell it's even worse than l thought. I miscounted before. It's more like 30 pieces! Im tired already and haven't even begun cleaning yet!
I have quite a few friends who have gotten nice gas stoves, and after the first few times they’ve used them and cleaned them, they’ve stopped cooking on them! It’s such an ordeal to clean them they don’t want to get them dirty. So they eat out or get take-out, or barbecue. Anything not to get the stove dirty!
There's another alternative - induction cooktops. They look like glass/ceramic cooktops, but the "elements" don't glow and they use magnetic technology to heat your food, way faster and more consistently than a regular glass cooktop. The only drawback is that you need cookware made of ferrous material like steel and cast iron. You can get aluminium pans with a steel plate in the base that'll make it work, or even a steel trivet to place other pans on top of to receive the radiant heat (that's less efficient, though). It heats just as fast and hotter than gas, although the temperature control can be a bit harder to dial in - but it's very responsive when you get the hang of it. But it's way faster than a regular glass cooktop. It's more efficient than any of them - very low losses of energy since you're heating the pans, not the surrounding air and the top of the range. Finally, they don't give off the particles that gas can, which it turns out some people (like me) are sensitive to, and aren't really that good for anyone. They aren't cheap to buy, but they soon pay for themselves with the energy savings. And time saved with cleaning!
Thank you so much I've been putting this off forever because I haven't found anything that works real well to my satisfaction and I was afraid to use one of those safety razors so you've helped a lot!
I normally use dawn detergent, baking soda, and peroxide. Make a paste, then apply. Let it set for about 30-40 minutes and then wipe clean. Thanks for this new way to clean my glass top stove. I've subscribed.
I too, am a lady and madame, after watching just one of your videos I do believe you're the COOLEST lady I've ever seen in my life! Thank you! Just moved into a place with a glass top stove and although I've only used it once, already it's getting mucky. Can't wait to see more of your brilliant work. I'm disabled, and not even certain how to hang things on walls without destroying the wall (last place I lived had walls that might as well have been lead & I ended up velcroing my art to them :/ ).
You can also clean the inside of the window of an air fryer that has a fold down door using the same method if you are very careful. Just understand the fryer cannot be used during the cleaning period. " NOTE ": It is always best to only use clean water when cleaning a Microwave Oven. It is never good to use harsh cleaners, vinegar, or any cleaners that will leave a residue on or inside the microwave. Microwaves are like radars and high frequency antennas. When we cleaned them we either used special cleaners or distilled water in measured amounts and carefully dried them before we energized the electronics.
I needed to find a video to learn how to clean my disgusting glass top stove (never buy one, they're horrible to try to cook on). I thought I'd have to wade through 100 "influencers" telling me how to use Dove soap and unicorn tears and then I saw this (actually at the top) with the home expert See Jane Drill. I love her. Thanks Jane.
Interesting, I use Bar Keeper's Friend but literally wear my self out. I'm going to try this. Thank you for the link to the the 30% Vinegar. I've never known about this before now.
is the nylon brush steel? is it the same as one of those paint scrubbers you can get at home depot? i don't understand how it doesn't scratch the stove.
Leah, what about the white spots that seem to be under the glass? I've looked all over YT, and the only answer I found was you can't fix those unless you replace the cooktop. I love your channel, you taught me how to do many things.
The very first night I moved into my apartment, I cooked up 10 pounds of hamburger, so the grease had dripped underneath the pan, and it totally ruined my stove 1-1/2 years ago. I have not been able to get it cleaned off, so I need try this before my lease is up. I was reading through the Lease agreement, and each area has potential fees of $50-400!
Oooh lucky me, that’s the stove I just bought. I’m not crazy about it either but it was the economical option so here we are. Oh, & incidentally mine came layered with a film of dust letting me know it’d been sitting in a warehouse somewhere while Lowe’s lied about supply chain/ inventory issues to create demand 😒
Used full-strength white vinegar, soaked for 10 minutes. Used a razor as directed and then applied glass stove polish with my hand buffer. Allowed it to haze and then buffed the polish off and it looks brand new.
I have used this method for years until I realized a magic eraser works almost as well in about 30 seconds. I still use this method first if it gets really bad, but even if I do, I follow it up with a magic eraser.
Does this work on the inside of a glass over door? I've been using a baking soda/vinegar mix and wiping it on the door for and heating the oven to 100°C for 20 minutes. It gets most of it off but it takes 100% of old fashioned elbow grease and 30 minutes with a non scratch scouring pad to remove the stubborn bits.
Use just vinegar, spray it down and let it soak, a plastic scraper like an old credit card or purpose-made plastic razor scraper will do a lot for you there with minimal damage to the coatings on the inside. Don't bother heating it, you just make the acid evaporate faster, and mixing vinegar with baking soda just neutralizes both, if you want to do both do one, then the other after you wipe it down.
Thank you very much Maam.. lot of love from Bangladesh. Now I can get rid of those nasty stains mark from my Aquarium glass. It's cheaper than cerium oxide.
I miss my glass top! My immediate go to when something boiled over or spilled and cooked on was to (once cooled) soak it in a dishsoap/ water mix and then put wet bath towel on top overnight. Quick wipe with the towel in the morning, everything came off and the towel could get tossed in the washer waiting for the next load of laundry.
If you mean cleaning the bottom of like a copper bottom pot, any "magic-eraser" type sponge will do a great job, I use those to clean any metal that tarnishes in the kitchen (like copper mugs or light rust on baking sheets). If you have scratches in the actual cooktop, that's another story.
I used to use scraper + cleaner, it never got it all the way clean. Now I use easy off heavy duty oven cleaner about once a month. Just spray it on, leave 5 min and wipe off with damp cloth and bingo... new cooktop. You do need a mask while spraying.
Skip the vinegar, brush and microfiber, just need the razor blade and sand paper, something sorta fine, and it will take off everything, and was the only thing that worked for me. Still need something to help lube while using the razor blade, and just water for the sand paper, mine now looks new again.
I think safety razor is going to eventually make thousands of micro scratches. Later after months you can see how much scratches it made under a bright light. But thats the way it goes. I too use a surgical blade...but it does scratch.
I like the step by step guidance. Like most viewers, we have: Regular edible vinegar Which is 5% acetic acid Which I'm sure you already knew what makes it vinegar lol No need for the 30% Use regular household vinegar and don't dilute it at all. Happy cleaning
Can I just say that I rent an apartment with a black cook top stove - and it's the most difficult kind of cook top that I've ever cleaned!!! 😢 I really miss a gass stove!! And the color black seems to show every piece of dust!!
They are not created equal. I loved my old stove glass top. After 9 years it looked brand new. We bought a new stove after moving ( black glass top with tiny dots all over) , and after the first time my son cooked I am scrubbing and scrubbing it. This is how I found this video. My cooktop is soaking right now 😢
I was on board until the dilution of the vinegar. Why not just dilute regular white vinegar? It feels like this video was just to sell the concentrated vinegar.
As I indicated in the video, you'll have to dilute it based on your needs. I have no way of knowing individual needs. So, my recommendation reflects that. I have used 30% vinegar for a host of different things, killing weeds, laundry, cleaning grout and it all requires different ratios. I would rather advise caution than be reckless in my advice to others.
@@seejanedrill....yes, but you could also tell folks that they CAN use reg household vinegar since that is likely what most people have already..money is tight for most right now..some folks won't use it for anything else.
Amazon has the blades handle and it comes with sharp metal and plastic blades. Hoop that helps you. I have it and I’m very pleased with it and it s is not costly at all
I just use baking soda. Just get it a little wet, and use a steel pad like the ones you use to clean stainless steel cook ware with. It gets it clean in no time. If it's greasy I use all purpose Bio Clean. Amazing soap. All natural too.
Incredible. I've been in several rental units where the stove had this and the landlord "admitted it was damaged by the previous tenant." I didn't think this was possible!

Dilute it according to your needs. You may need a ratio of 20 to 1, or 10 to 1, I've even used it 4 to 1.
I think I need a power drill with a wire wheel attachment for mine .. sobbing ..

I bought house with burned on crud on the stove. I tried everything to get that top clean.
Brasso worked wonders!
Once again I have to admit I have never heard of such a product?!?! Thanks Leah!!!
They sell it at Lowes and Home Depot, never heard of it either until I was making a home made weed killer with vinegar, salt, soap and water.
@@Mixwell1983 thanks 😊
@@Mixwell1983.....how much of each?
Oh how cool is that? Thank you so much. No doubt, you're on the cutting edge with this one.
You always show such helpful things Leah. Thank you.
Why not use regular (5%) vinegar and dilute it less since you're significantly diluting the more concentrated vinegar?
See pinnef comment at top
I love 30 percent vinegar for so many cleaning needs, buying the 30 percent is great for me so i don’t go through a bottle so fast! Love your videos!
I needed to find a video to learn how to clean my disgusting glass top stove (never buy one, they're horrible to try to cook on).

Great tip - Thanks Leah!
Brilliant hack. Thank you Leah

Thanks for this, mine is a big mess and I've tried pretty much everything, now to track down that vinegar and get busy .
This is awesome!
Will definitely try this.
Great tip
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Saved my sanity :)
this channel is the best thing ever. so glad i subbed early this year
I use Cerama Bryte. It works like magic. Comet is pretty good too. You barely need to scrub it.
is the nylon brush steel? is it the same as one of those paint scrubbers you can get at home depot? i don't understand how it doesn't scratch the stove.
Isn't diluting the 30% vinegar down to 60:1 the same as the tenth of the concentration of common vinegar? Or maybe I got it wrong. I'll test it.
Thanks for these very helpful videos. You all are amazing!!! 😊
Wow Leah that was awesome. Thank you very much, ma'am.
Nice tip - thank you !!
Now for some popcorn.
Wow! Thank you I will show this to my daughter.😊
Totally awesome video thank you for the information we have a glass top
I use that 30% vinegar to make weed killing spray, got mine at Lowes in the cleaning aisle.
Yep and it's great in the laundry too.
Leah, I love your tricks and calming voice. I would love to meet you one day.
Yeah, Leah seems like a really lovely person doesn't she?
How does it compare to the convenience, energy, results and cost to the stove cooktop cleaner and scratchy sponge?
Leah, what about the white spots that seem to be under the glass? I've looked all over YT, and the only answer I found was you can't fix those unless you replace the cooktop. I love your channel, you taught me how to do many things.
I did not have that issue
Thanx Ms Leah. Another tool for my toolbox. ❤
The very first night I moved into my apartment, I cooked up 10 pounds of hamburger, so the grease had dripped underneath the pan, and it totally ruined my stove 1-1/2 years ago. I have not been able to get it cleaned off, so I need try this before my lease is up. I was reading through the Lease agreement, and each area has potential fees of $50-400!
Perfect timing!!!! I got my first glass top and can’t clean it good. Thanks!!!!!
Oooh lucky me, that’s the stove I just bought. I’m not crazy about it either but it was the economical option so here we are. Oh, & incidentally mine came layered with a film of dust letting me know it’d been sitting in a warehouse somewhere while Lowe’s lied about supply chain/ inventory issues to create demand 😒
I find that product called barkeeper's friend works great. No soak no scrap. Just sprinkle on and scrub.
Options are always good
barkeepers didnt work for me and I clean my stove top after every use. so thanks for this tip. I will try this. glass tops are the worst stoves ever
Nice tutorial thanks for sharing.
Great tip , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thanks for the intel. It is a big help!
So good! I’m doing this today
Used full-strength white vinegar, soaked for 10 minutes. Used a razor as directed and then applied glass stove polish with my hand buffer. Allowed it to haze and then buffed the polish off and it looks brand new.
What brand of polish did you use?
Thank you!!
I have used this method for years until I realized a magic eraser works almost as well in about 30 seconds. I still use this method first if it gets really bad, but even if I do, I follow it up with a magic eraser.

Apple Vinegar maybe good as well, just a suggestion. Vinegar is also a good weed killer. Thank you Leah, good to know as always.
I use it in the laundry and to kill weeds
Hello thanks for this excellent vidéo very interesting my friend have a good day 👍👏
Hey Leah
Thanks, almost makes me wish I still had my old stove to try this...haha
Take care
Good advice for cleaning, but do you have any method to remove residue of metal cookware like pots for boiling water?
If you mean cleaning the bottom of like a copper bottom pot, any "magic-eraser" type sponge will do a great job, I use those to clean any metal that tarnishes in the kitchen (like copper mugs or light rust on baking sheets). If you have scratches in the actual cooktop, that's another story.
Razor blade scraper works great for that
Im not certain I understand your question
Make sure the countertop near the stovetop can tolerate any vinegar overspray.
I used to use scraper + cleaner, it never got it all the way clean. Now I use easy off heavy duty oven cleaner about once a month. Just spray it on, leave 5 min and wipe off with damp cloth and bingo... new cooktop. You do need a mask while spraying.
Does Nylon brush not create scratches?
Thank you for this video! Especially when my family and I cook a lot!
Would you get the same results from a plastic razor?
I dont think so.
Thank you, you lovely enthusiastic person. 👍
WOW!! I have a sudden urge to clean! Where else can this strength of vinegar be used? TY Leah...great info!
It great in the laundry...rrally gets your whites, white again and it's a great weed killer.
Skip the vinegar, brush and microfiber, just need the razor blade and sand paper, something sorta fine, and it will take off everything, and was the only thing that worked for me. Still need something to help lube while using the razor blade, and just water for the sand paper, mine now looks new again.
Would this method also work on the oven door or is there a different method?
Yep
Regardless of how you clean the stovetop finish it off with a stovetop cleaner that has silicone in it. Protects the surface.
Why not just use reg vinegar if diluting it anyhow ?
( without doing the actual math) thanks- great post !!
I think safety razor is going to eventually make thousands of micro scratches. Later after months you can see how much scratches it made under a bright light. But thats the way it goes. I too use a surgical blade...but it does scratch.
What is the ratio in ounces? Lol I need to do this today!!😂
Not sure where to buy 30% vinegar, but I will try my regular vinegar. Thanks.
Thanks!! Will try this!
Awesome, Leah ! Thanks !!
Awesome info. Thank you
I'll give the vinegar a shot ,but its going to be hard to beat , scrubbing bubbles, spray let sit for 5 minutes wipe done
Is scrubbing bubbles safe to use on the glass top?
Yup! Let it sit , wipe with a damp sponge ,
Yup. Let it sit,then wipe off with a damp sponge.
I like the step by step guidance.
Like most viewers, we have:
Regular edible vinegar
Which is
5% acetic acid
Which I'm sure you already knew what makes it vinegar lol
No need for the 30%
Use regular household vinegar and don't dilute it at all.
Happy cleaning
Thanks, moved into a house with a glass stop stove and never could figure out to get it clean.
Glad I could help!
Can I just say that I rent an apartment with a black cook top stove - and it's the most difficult kind of cook top that I've ever cleaned!!!
😢 I really miss a gass stove!! And the color black seems to show every piece of dust!!
They are not created equal. I loved my old stove glass top. After 9 years it looked brand new. We bought a new stove after moving ( black glass top with tiny dots all over) , and after the first time my son cooked I am scrubbing and scrubbing it. This is how I found this video. My cooktop is soaking right now 😢
Thank you Leah. Yeap my stove top looks almost like this one,yuck
I was on board until the dilution of the vinegar. Why not just dilute regular white vinegar? It feels like this video was just to sell the concentrated vinegar.
As I indicated in the video, you'll have to dilute it based on your needs. I have no way of knowing individual needs. So, my recommendation reflects that. I have used 30% vinegar for a host of different things, killing weeds, laundry, cleaning grout and it all requires different ratios. I would rather advise caution than be reckless in my advice to others.
@@seejanedrill....yes, but you could also tell folks that they CAN use reg household vinegar since that is likely what most people have already..money is tight for most right now..some folks won't use it for anything else.
@@zaneblane8160 exactly, most people have regular vinegar at home
@@zaneblane8160and if I am correct after a 60 time dilution you would end up with about the same percentage anyway. 5-7% acetic acid vinegar.
Thanks Mrs. Leah🌹💐🌞👍🏻
A buffer wheel on a drill workS good to
Hi, i'm in UK - never seen that kind of safety razor here. Suggestions for a substitute please??
Amazon has the blades handle and it comes with sharp metal and plastic blades. Hoop that helps you. I have it and I’m very pleased with it and it s is not costly at all
Just use Novus #2 and blade
I just use baking soda. Just get it a little wet, and use a steel pad like the ones you use to clean stainless steel cook ware with. It gets it clean in no time. If it's greasy I use all purpose Bio Clean. Amazing soap. All natural too.
Options are always good
Incredible. I've been in several rental units where the stove had this and the landlord "admitted it was damaged by the previous tenant." I didn't think this was possible!
Electric stoves are the shitest stoves even you cook little it's looks like it's been use too much .
Amazing!
Couldn’t you just dilute regular vinegar 10:1?
I use 30% vinegar for other tasks that require a higher vinegar ratio, such as weed control and the laundry.
absolutely brilliant ... THANKYOU !!!
1 part vinegar to SIXTY parts water??????
