- In this video I show you the best method for cleaning a glass top stove. This will work with any ceramic top / cooktop or stove. This will help protect the top from grease buildup and cut down on the amount of scratches you'll get on the glass top surface.
Tools used in this video are a dirty glass top stove, scratchy pad, razor blade scraper, cooktop cleaner and some paper towels.
Here is a video for removing scratches, I found this one. I may try it in the future.

We recently bought a ceramic glass range and it's been great to cook on. The scratches and cleaning, not so much. What I found works really good is a magic eraser of all things! Give it a try before breaking out the buffer and polishing compound ;)
My stove is 9 years old. I use pretty much the same method, but every time I use the stove (not every once in a while). The one thing I do differently is to use spray stainless steel cleaner/polish. I just spray on after all the cleaning and 5 second buff with paper towel. No haze. Looks almost as good as the day I bought it. 😁
Exactly I drive my wife nuts my glass cook top is 15 years old and still look this shiny and nude as it did when we brought it home because I immediately clean it all as soon as it cools down after cooking anything and it's something gets spilled while I'm cooking it immediately gets wiped off before it has a chance to bake on to the surface.
That is exactly the way I do it. To not scratch it with the scraper, do back and fwd movements, never in circles! Finally I use the Weiman spray, it’s fenomenal, it gives a ‘new’ type of shine to the glass and is true, it will make your nxt cleanup easier as it creates like a barrier of protection. Fully recommended.
I grew up with an original Corning glass stove. Corning had a powdered and liquid product called Delete. It was SO expensive. My mom was told to use Barkeeper's Friend, which she did and the stove top looked great 30+ years later when we sold the house. Now that I have my own glass top stove, I still use the (liquid) Barkeeper's Friend. It's sold in grocery stores near cleansers and is inexpensive. Leave the liquid on the spills for a bit (an hour or so) and the dish sponge with blue side will take it all off. Razor blade only if needed.
This gentleman is spot on and correct with the cleaning method of using the Weisman Glass Top Cleaner/Polisher. A co-worker told me about the Bar Keeper Friend to use to get to and clean the tough areas. Depending on the amount of build up of spilled, over-flow, and long term grease that is sitting on the top of the stove. I basically only use the Bar Keeper Friend once (maybe twice a week) 1st I sprinkle the Bar Keeper onto the stove glass top. Then I use a wet dish cloth (not soppy wet though) and I put in a bit of elbow grease type of rubbing to remove the extra cooked on grime. Rinse that dish cloth out, and wipe down the glass top, dry with a portion control piece of paper towel. 2. Then I use Weisman Glass Top Cleaner/Polisher as Bill's video demonstrated. Then the stove is ready for use daily. It takes only about 3-5 minutes to clean if the stove top if its really grimy. Or 1-2 minutes if it is not that dirty. The stove looks wonderful all of the time.
When I got my Kenmore electric range with the glass cooktop, it came with a small bottle of "COOK TOP" cleaning cream made by ELCO LABS with a small yellow scratch pad. It works fairly well if you first clean the stove with Dawn and a kitchen sponge first after every use. It really gives it a nice buffing shine.
I ise these same techniques but had never thought of baking soda until you mentioned other have used it.
I had some very very thin film caked on and was unable to remove with a razor blade and needed something a bit more abrasive.
A damp paper towel and a dusting of baking soda, mixed with some elbow grease and time took it right off! Of course, finish up with some weiman!
Thanks for the in depth cleaning video!
Here is a tip to prevent scratches in the first place. Before use take all of the pans you want to use, and, really buff out the bottoms with a good fine abrasive to remove any small rough spots that can cause scratches. I also avoid sliding and shaking the pans while cooking, use a spatula to move the food around instead.
Thanks for this tip. I find these stoves scratch so easily even with minimal movement of pans. I have yet to fine any satisfactory method to remove a scratch when it occurs. My scratches aren’t too visible and you can’t see them except under strong direct lighting. They are annoying, and remind me of how difficult it is to avoid scratches on a windshield even when you’re very careful.
You gotta be kidding. If you get a glass top stove, just get used to haziness and scratches, which is what will occur with normal use of a stove on glass/ceramic. Or get a stove that holds up to cooking pots and pans. If a house doesn't have gas, I don't know if there are stoves these days that will hold up to cooking over years without damage.
Great advice ❤
I used Bar Keeper's Friend on my glass top stove and it kept it beautiful for years I moved and I plan on buying another glass top stove
On glass? okay I have plenty of that
3:53 when video starts
Theblackbumblebee thank you 😊
comment needs more likes. much appreciated.
Bless your soul.
Thank you 😂...
Queen ! Thank you 🙏🏻
Comments are brutal! Damn. I have cleaned mine exactly like this for years. Once a month. I finish with glass cleaner, it surprising how much more of the cleaning compound shows up on your towel I have thought of buffing mine but haven't because of the mess. I subbed thanks for the shortening the learning curve on my dryer.
I use an SOS pad and it works great! Now I do this everytime I use the stove so I don't have to put a lot of pressure on it. No scratches.
In this video you used what looks like an auto rubbing compound. I've used a thing called
jeweler's rouge. It's a red powdery substance use for jewelry. It is great. Give it a shot.
Purchased a glass topped stove (GE) and am experimenting. So far, soap, water, razor and like you said once a month (I do it once two weeks apart depending how dirty it is) is fine.
Thanks for taking the time to share and help us guys out here out.
I have been using this since I moved in into my appartment 2 years ago. Best product ever.
Our stove is approximately 1 year old..we got a top cleaner with it when bought. Since then I have bought 2 other kinds of cleaner (one was Barkeepers friend). I found the two I bought weren’t as good as the original I used but couldn’t remember what kind it was....the brand name. YAY........YOU ARE USING IT!! It was what you are using on this demonstration. Thank you.
Bar Keepers Friend worked on a really tough job for me. I didn't know if the stove was pitted from the pan I used or just surface problem. Some of the marks came off after normal-type scrubbing. One area, though, I left on overnight and it came clean in the morning.
Love the scraper method. Makes my stovetop look brand new.
Enjoyed tutorial still in 2019. Hate flat tops & would never buy one. I rent and I want to be able to buy my own stinking stove so I can actually cook with it instead of putting it on display. I'm afraid to use them because they get ruined so easily. Using baking soda right now and I can only imagine how bad it is going to look. Thanks for showing us that the pans scratch much more than any razor.
Thanks very much for this. Showing the scratchy pad's and razor blade's safe results was very useful.
Awesome Thank you Bill, my stove is only
A year old and I have a couple of scratches on it! They make me crazy
Cause I'm trying to keep it new looking, thank you 👋😊
MyMyMy, I have cleaned my stove top exactly like that for the last 23 years. Still have the same range.
Weiman is my secret weapon to polish weathered and dull headlights..
They make scratch free scrubbing pads for glass top stoves. My LG came with one.
To much talking at the beginning just keep it simple
I use a natural coconut fiber scrubber. I scrape off burnt/ dried food with a razor. I clean the top with ECover non-scratch scrubbing creme and then I buff it with cooktop cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
That is the same range my daughter has. It was a mess and I accidently scratched the hell out of the right rear burner by scraping thinking there was burnt on grease but the glass was really pitted. She's going to kill me when she sees it.
Thank You Bill for this videos I'm going to be cleaning Mines tomorrow 💯💯💯💯 Have a Blessed Day and stay safe 🙏 😷❤
Great information! And yea baking soda with whatever Do Not Work at all! Thank you so much for sharing .
I watched several video before I picked you. I did what you said and my stove looks brand new. Thanks very much.
I use drop the size of US dime of Vitroclean and 1 or 2 paper towels every single time as I clean the kitchen. That's it. No water. No more. I cook all the time and everything from scratch. I use a clean dry micro-cloth to dry and polish after there is no more product. The best cooktop, in my opinion is gaggenau flex induction cooktop, it comes in many sizes and I am glad we have this
This is all overkill. Just use Easy Off oven cleaner, spray on top, leave for hour. Wipe with damp paper towel, then dry with clean one. Done, like new. No blades, no scraping. Does not hurt the glass. I have done this on glass tops in 2 different houses, and at friends' homes. Tried and true.
@nature2rule I have not experienced the same results you describe and my current stove is 5 years old, previous one 8 years old. Have done this on GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, and current Amana. Perhaps you need to clean more often. Have seen no glass "change".
will try
Does it remove the white haze that materializes in the burner circle as well?
@@bustabass9025 Sorry, i'm not familiar with that. Mine looks like new except for few scratches from iron skillet. They are not white.
@@shakengrain1942
Thx!
I am very EXCITED to try this exact method very soon! THANKS for the FUN and informative vid! :)
Dremel versa and Barkeeper’s Friend + water takes everything off in record time. Use on pots/pans too.
Yes the cleaner is the best. I do use a razor that came with the cleaning kit if needed.
Hi. I am in a rental unit with a smooth top range and was unsure on how to clean it. Thanks for sharing! Your instruct and video were very helpful👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
VERY cool, mine came out great, razor blade got rid of the toughest residue
Amazingly; if you are accustomed to brewing tea with tea bags, you can take the leftover tea bags to make a jar of tea from it; and it amazingly cuts through the grease between normal use; it’s not a deep cleaner, but the tea made this way really helps remove oil; my biggest concern with glass top is how easy it scratches and how difficult it is to remove scratches. I do clean after each use and that seems to help keep clean.
I don't just buff the Polish off. After scrubbing the stove top with the cleaner I use a wet paper towel to remove the dirt and grime then another microfiber cloth to buff it out. Shines up every time. I would think you would not want that cleaner left on the stove top to smell when the burner is turned on.
I used bicarb of soda sprinkled on dry, give it a good covering, then mix the juice of one lemon, with white vinegar, spray on top of baking soda also a good covering, leave for 10 minutes, then wash off followed by a good polish see the results 👍👍
I found Cook Top stove cleaner to be the best.
I have an induction top but basically the same glass, and use Weiman Glass Cook Top cleaner daily but I don't use paper towels, I use soft white cotton terri cloth instead. Cotton is not a source of scratching the glass itself. I use the cook top daily and it looks like new. I did use another product called Cerama Bryce but the Weimar product seems to work better.
I don't get much grease cooked on as I basically cook as fat free as possible so we steam most things. The main thing is not to try to cook on Power Boost --- just use it to heat up the pot and turn it to the setting you need.
Every time I cook, I do this cleaning and never have to use a razor blade. I clean my countertops also but with glass cleaner. Keeps the kitchen shiny and sanitary and is fast to do.
This is awesome, I just had to comment and praise you!
Never in my life have I imagined somebody pulling out anything powered for oven cleaning bar a steam cleaner, men do it best!
Great video. I use this Weisman cleaner and needed more advice. Thanks so much.
You are very welcome!
Very helpful and thanks again.
6h
I use 400 wet or dry then 600 wet or dry. Wet with glass top cleaner. Works great!
I really like how you organize your vids
I clean mine by first spraying it down with windex and vinegar then sprinkle baking soda all over scrub it with a scratchy pad all over then take the razor blade to it. When I'm finished I clean it with the windex and vinegar wipe with paper towels.
Thanks for the great tips ❤
Question... is the haze could be on the inside portion of the glass top??? So buffing the inside of the glasstop could restore the original shine... or so? I have a used stove and I had a lot of cleaning to do but this big haze on one of the element is relly annoying... will try your method... hoping it will work.
The easiest way I've found of cleaning a glass top stove, almost instantly, with no scraping, is to mix a paste of water and diatomaceous earth... apply liberally... then wipe off carefully with a damp napkin or paper towel. It removes cooked on food and grease, almost instantly, with no scrubbing.... no scratchy pad is needed. Wipe it off with some wet napkins, then wipe one more time with a soapy napkin, then wipe the water away. (Tip: use food grade diatomaceous earth, because you'll be able to use what's left over for a lot of purposes.)
I love DE ! I mix a tablespoon of it in my coffee every morning and it keeps my gut healthy. My dog never has fleas anymore and I use it for a multitude of other purposes. Now will use on my cooktop! Cool TY!
Now, THAT'S funny!!!
@@ToniTerrific I thought you guys were trolling lol, looked it up, and it seems this is legit. Tired of scrubbing this damn thing. In mr clean commercials you see someone clean the whole thing with one wipe, which should get them sued
U write alot
I've learned if u boil over say, a soup pot, its best to turn the stove off & clean the glass before the stuff gets baked on. also, the green brillo pads work well. if you've ignored cleaning awhile u will need to resort to the razor blade tool.
First of all, I hate a glass top stove for cooking, it is too inconsistent in heat. My cooktop looks great because I clean it daily. I have used everything to clean it, nothing has destroyed it and it is like new. I have had to take the door apart and cleaned the insides of the glass where something spilled between the glass, took my husband and I about three hours, but it looks great. When this stove dies I want a gas stove.
Best way to NOT notice the hazy stain is to turn the stove light off above .Wallah ! Cannot be seen & my stove still looks clean and shiny like new .... but from a little distance 😉
Lol i do the same thing. That light shows EVERY imperfection and the top is brand new. I tend to be anal as well which dont help the situation
Mr clean magic easer work great on my cooktop! no chemicals either!
barb hambly Does the magic eraser get the baked on stuff off. Is that all u use to clean your glass top?
I found that using copper bottom pots gave the glass tops a haze like that
I have a drop in stove top that I bought in the eighties. the top is glass but the burners are cast iron. glass doesn't get scratched. It still works great. (Frigidaire)
Should I clean or Wipe out My Newly unboxed convection oven with vinegar and water Or, should I use just a regular dawn dish soap warm water solution BEFORE FIRST USE ?
I know I have to heat to 400 Degrees for One hr. Before 1st Use as well.
I just need to know what best cleaning solution will work best.
I also feel if you use animal fats instead of oils, you'll have far less problems. Animal fats wipe off with a paper towel. Oils stick like melted plastic. You can imagine what they do to your insides.
I used a blue scrubber like that and it ruined my cooktop with absolutely horrible scratches. I came upon your video because I have replaced the cooktop and want to clean the cooktop, but don't want to repeat that mistake. No chance I'm going to use anything more abrasive than a washcloth.
Once you clean it with the Weiman cleaner you just buff it off no need for a water rinse? Also how soon can 6ou cook once you have applied the Weiman? Thank you.
Great Video. Thanks for making it and sharing!
I hate my black glass cooktop stove. Seems no matter what I do it is smeary after cleaning. My old 20 year old something glass top was Grey speckled and cleaned up beautifully. I have to clean my Whirlpool every time after use. Hate it.
Me too
Can I use Clorox and soap if I don't have the main product?
Thanks for the tips. Finding I have to clean my glass top after every use. Have been afraid to let it go, now I'm feeling braver and may not clean for a few weeks.
That white haze can be removed with vinegar. Place a paper towel over the haze area and soak it with vinegar and wait 15 min. Wipe dry and repeat as necessary. Apply a protective layer of stove top cleaner.
I'll give that a shot and see if I can get the haze off the burners. Thanks for the feedback!
Does the white haze form on top or bottom of the glass? I bought one of these stoves n my friends told me that the haze will eventually form and I won’t be able to get rid of it. They tell me it form on the bottom because of the heat
Thank you
Any metal polish works well, along with a buffer pad on a drill.
I agree with everything EXCEPT, you should NEVER use a paper towel on these surfaces, as ANY wood products cause micro scratches that will continually get worse over time. It's extremely easy and cheap to just have a few decent microfiber clothes in a close by drawer to use instead.
Its really hard to maintain that kind of stove
I hate it
I burnt a potholder on top, what removed the ‘light chard’ area ?
THANKZ SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEO. I GOT A GLASS TOP STOVE TOO. I TRY MY BEST TO KEEP IT CLEAN. BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE SOMETIMES. THANKZ AGAIN
luckily enough we noticed the hazing within the first 24 hours. We had a 48 hr money back guarantee from the big box store and returned the glass top and got the regular one with the coils. All that buffing and scrapping to make it look 'as new' would drive me crazy.
is it possible to get the deep scratches out? or is this you think a common problem default problem with glass top cookers.
I used oven cleaner at night before bed. I put a pan lid over the burnt glass burner. the next morning I washed it off. repeat until it looks brand New!
i tried to use this stuff today for a single blot of boiling chicken water that boiled over - it did nothing. used baking soda & wet paper towel, cleaned it all!
Looks 👀Great! All try it.
To get rid of the blue haze, put a little vinegar on it, let it sit for a few minutes and clean it off. All haze will be gone.
Do you know what the failure mode is for these burners. My right front has to be over half way on the temp control before it begins to cook. In other words cannot slowly cook on that burner .
Looks good....thanks!!!
How do you remove a burned on mark left behind by a micro fibre towel ?
Do you use water at all during the cleaning process to moisten the stove top, scrubber, paper towel for buffing, etc.?
Do you thing in that the product used to brighter headlights might work to clear the haziness?
I clean with paper towels and its gets clean basically using this method but how do you get rid of what sort of looks like water rings. Not coming up
the rubbing compound you used is the stuff auto detailers use for body paint correction?
Great video, like the way you got the screws out.
Thanks!
I didn’t see any screw removal in this video.
what make and model do you suggest if one wants to purchase an free standing single oven, electric range with coil elements for the stove top ? Thank You Bill Newberry.
use Mother Aluminum Polish on the buffing, better result to remove the haze!
This is what I came to the comments looking for! Thank youuu!
I've searched Google and TH-cam for a solution to this but cannot find an answer. My ceramic glass stovetop has a black stain/discoloration over what used to be a gray colored burner. It is NOT food that can be scrubbed/scrapped off with a razor blade, bar keepers friend, vinegar/baking soda, glass stove top commercial cleaners, magic eraser...even oven cleaner, for example. It appears to have sunken into the glass. The surface is smooth to the touch. Nothing has been dropped on the surface causing any kind of stress fractures either. The discoloration only appears directly on the burners where I place my pots/pans to cook. And I can still see the original pattern of the gray speckle cooktop underneath the black.
Me too. I have tried everything. Those that swear by baking soda and vinegar are crazy or they are not dealing with really backed on schmutz!
Yes..my steel gray cook top has a few black spots that will not come out...it is though they are stained inside the glass.....just like HOT SPOTS that are probably defects of some kind of over heating spots.......cannot remove them no matter what.......so bummed out
Try 3M heavy duty rubbing compound..
Just use Windex and some 0000 steel wool...this is what we used in the auto body shop to clean car windows before customer inspections. No...the steel wool will not scratch the glass. Don't use water because the steel wool will rust and you will only be able to use it once.
He said that was a "green" scratchy pad. On my tv, it's bright blue. ??? In my kitchen, the really scratchy pads are green, and the ones for more delicate things or nonstick pans (less scratchy pads) are blue. I think he's color blind. The standard way to clean the stove apparently does not get the haziness off. You have to resort to buffing pads on a drill with some sort of buffing compound. Not practical for the ordinary cook. So glass top stoves will just get hazy from normal use. A reason not to buy that type of stove. The old fashioned ones with the circular heat rings hold up better to the use of cooking, pots, iron skillets, etc. A gas stove is also good, if you have gas.
"...being weenie about it..." Ha ha!
My black ceramic hob looks as though it's a glass mirror I think the black has come off can this be fixed
Where to get that blade?
How do you remove scratches from the back plastic? Where you operate the burners.
Is the rubbing compound the same kind of thing you would use on a car? I don't know if there are different kinds or not, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
Maybe I missed it, but did you say what the product is you are using?
Maybe don't wear your glasses when looking at your stove and it looks pretty good! Use same method for spouse if getting worn as well!
Are manufacturers of these stoves working on any protective coating or another method to reduce scratching etc. If some enterprising person could do that they would become wealthy over night.
our cooking pot got stock in our induction stove i tried oil but didnt work
Use the same cooktop cleaner, its good.
Works
What about lemon juice & toothpaste?
Just had some really good luck with a buffer and baking soda mixed with rubbing compound. The actual glass cleaner would probably be better than the rubbing compound. Worked great in any case.
Did the sponge have to be wet or dry when scrubbing.
