How to Clean a Black Glass Stove Top

Clean a glass black stove top with non-abrasive cleaners.

A black glass stove top provides class and style to any kitchen. Electric glass stove tops reveal red colors when hot and fade to black as the burners cool down. You need special tools to clean glass stove tops properly. Using tools not suitable for glass stove tops may scratch and damage the surface.

Things You'll Need

• Dish rag
• Glass stove top scraper
• Glass stove top cleaner
• Cloths

Instructions

1. Turn burners to the off position and allow the stove top to cool down before cleaning. This may take 15 to 20 minutes.

2. Run hot water over a dish rag, wring out the excess liquid, then apply to stains on the black cook top. Saturate the stains with the hot water and allow to sit for 10 minutes.

3. Scrape the wet stains with a special scraper made just for glass cook tops. Scrape the stain gently with the scraper until stain is completely loosened. Wipe away the stain with a damp rag.

4. Spray a glass cook top cleaner onto a clean cloth and wipe over the entire cook top, working around and behind knobs. Turn the cloth to expose a clean area and continue spraying and wiping, removing all grease residue.

5. Wipe the black glass cook top with a dry soft cloth, removing all streaks left from the cleaner.

Tips & Warnings
