Cleaning a ceramic glass cooktop the right way keeps it shiny and prevents scratches. Here’s a safe, effective method. ✨🍳
1. Let the Cooktop Cool
Make sure the surface is completely cool before cleaning to avoid burns and streaks.
Cooktops like the Ceran Glass Cooktop or those used on Samsung and GE ranges can crack if cleaned while extremely hot.
2. Wipe Loose Debris
Use a soft microfiber cloth or paper towel to remove crumbs and loose food.
Avoid rough sponges that can scratch the glass.
3. Apply a Gentle Cleaner
Use one of these safe options:
- Weiman cooktop cleaner
- A paste of Baking Soda and water
- A few drops of Dish Soap
Spread the cleaner over the surface.
4. Use a Soft Scrubbing Method
Place a warm damp cloth over the area for about 10–15 minutes.
This softens burned-on food so it wipes away easily.
Then gently wipe in circular motions.
5. Remove Tough Burn Marks
For stubborn residue:
- Use a cooktop scraper with a razor blade designed for glass surfaces.
- Hold it at a 45° angle and gently scrape.
These are often sold with cleaners like Cerama Bryte.
6. Polish the Surface
Finish by wiping with a clean microfiber cloth to restore shine.
Some people apply a small amount of White Vinegar to remove streaks.
✅ Things to Avoid (to prevent scratches):
- Steel wool
- Abrasive powders
- Rough scrub pads
- Dragging heavy pots across the surface
💡 Extra Tip: Clean spills quickly—especially sugary foods like Caramel or Jam, because they can permanently damage the glass if burned on.
