How To: Clean Your Glass Stove Top
I don’t know about you, but every single day my poor glass stove top looks like a tornado of food bits, fire, and dust has passed over it.
This happens daily…even if we don’t use our stove top!
While this continues to boggle my mind, there are plenty of easy solutions to get it clean with little effort!
The kitchen is one of the most overused loved rooms in our homes. It is a magnetic gathering place for family and friends and the last thing I want is to see a glistening, clean kitchen and then have my eye fixate on the stove top covered in who knows what!
I typically use Weiman Stove Top Wipes at the end of the day to give it a wipe down, but once you’ve cooked a big meal using every burner, the wipes begin to fall short.
I have tried countless scrubs, pastes, sponges, scraping with a putty knife…. nothing works as well as some old fashioned home made cleaning supplies!
Basic Scrub:
Don’t look at it! It’s hideous!
So you’ve cooked a fabulous meal on the stove top and after the family has filled their plates, eaten, and washed their dishes, your poor stove top is in need of a bit of love.
- Drizzle some blue Dawn all over your stove top
- Drizzle hydrogen peroxide right over the Dawn
- Sprinkle baking soda on top
- Scrub the three ingredients in with a brush or sponge – good old fashioned elbow grease!
- Wipe with a damp rag to get all the ingredients off the surface
- Step back and admire your clean (and delightful smelling) stove top!
For Burn Marks:
Has it been a day? You’ve cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the poor stove top and, more than once, something has boiled over as you’re trying to do 85 things at once.
Worry not! Those burn marks won’t be there for long!
- Sprinkle baking soda on top of your burned area
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice right into the baking soda to make a nice runny paste
- Let is sit for 10 to 15 minutes
- Scrub the area well with a brush or sponge
- Wipe with a damp rag until clean
- Admire the work a little acid and exfoliation can do!

You have made me a happy lady. I’m used to gas and we bought a new oven for our condo and I have gone mad trying to clean it. Thx for solving my problem.
I grew up with gas stove tops and unfortunately, houses aren’t built with that in mind out here so everyone has glass stove tops and I was lost! I hope this gets your nice and shiny!
Great tips here and I know what you mean about wanting to have a sparkly induction hob. Thanks for linking up at #fortheloveofBLOG. Claire x

Oh my stove – I hate cleaning it but, as you say, it needs doing on pretty much a daily basis! Aaargh! But these methods look to really work – I don’t think I’ve ever managed to get the shine back like this before! Thanks for the tips! #blogcrush
There are days I almost give up hope on them shining ever again, but when I do a good deep clean, all is well and sparkling again!
