Step 1
Turn off your stove and allow it to cool down. Do not do any cleaning while the surface is hot. Not only can you burn yourself, you can damage the top. Remove all jewelry that might scratch your stovetop surface while cleaning.
-
Step 2
Use the non-abrasive cleanser that came with your stove. Upon purchasing a new ceramic stovetop, you are usually given a sample bottle of cleanser called Cerama Bryte. There are also other brands on the market. Use a small amount, usually a dime-sized drop to start, and gently rub the cleanser into the stovetop with a wet rag until burn marks disappear.
-
Step 3
Use a non-abrasive powder such as baking soda or a name brand cleanser. Sprinkle a small amount on your stovetop and use a wet rag to lightly scrub the top until clean.
-
Step 4
Use a razor blade to get up hardened areas. Carefully use a razor blade and a 45-degree angle and lightly scrape off the hardened areas that won’t come off with a cleanser. Wipe up the shavings once you’re done and use your cleanser on the rest.
-
Step 5
Try a new product such as the Scotch Brite ceramic stovetop cleaning pad. These are pre-moistened pads that you attach to the cleaning apparatus, which is easier to hold onto than a wet rag. It also saves your fingers from cramping up while scrubbing. The cleaning pads have the cleaning solution already in them so you don’t need extra ceramic stovetop cleaning paste.
-
Step 6
Use a simple dishwashing detergent solution. This may not clean your stovetop as well if you have stains and buildup, but if your ceramic stove is fairly new and you simply want to keep it looking that way, use a small amount of dish detergent on a rag and scrub the top of your ceramic stove to remove stains.
