Cleaning a glass cooktop properly helps remove grease, stains, and burnt food without scratching the surface. One of the safest and most effective DIY methods uses baking soda and white vinegar. ✨
🧽 The Baking Soda & Vinegar Method
What You’ll Need
- Baking soda
- White vinegar
- Warm water
- A soft cloth or sponge
- A microfiber towel
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Let the cooktop cool completely
Never clean a hot glass cooktop to avoid damage or burns.
2. Sprinkle baking soda
Lightly sprinkle baking soda across the cooktop, focusing on greasy or burnt spots.
3. Spray vinegar
Spray white vinegar over the baking soda. The fizzing reaction helps loosen grime.
4. Cover with a warm damp cloth
Place a warm, damp cloth over the area and let it sit for 10–15 minutes.
5. Gently wipe the surface
Remove the cloth and wipe away residue using a soft sponge or cloth.
6. Buff the glass
Finish by drying and polishing with a microfiber towel for a streak-free shine.
⚡ Why This Works
- Baking soda acts as a gentle abrasive that loosens stuck food.
- Vinegar dissolves grease and mineral residue while disinfecting the surface.
⚠️ Important Tips
- Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbers because they can scratch glass.
- For stubborn burnt spots, use a plastic scraper made for glass cooktops.
- Regular cleaning prevents buildup and keeps the cooktop looking new.
✅ Bonus tip:
After cleaning, wipe the cooktop with a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth to remove streaks and fingerprints.
