How Can I Make a Cleaner for My Glass Ceramic Cooktop?

Make your own glass cleaner to clean your cooktop.

Glass ceramic cooktops are more delicate than other types of cooktops. Some store-bought cleaners contain harsh abrasives that can damage the surface of your glass cooktop. Additionally, these cleaners often leave behind streaks. Creating your own cleaner for your glass cooktop will ensure it remains clean without any scratches or streaks. You can also make a homemade paste for stuck-on grease and grime.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups water
• 2 cups white distilled vinegar
• 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
• Spray bottle
• Lint-free cloth

Instructions

1. Pour 2 cups of water, 2 cups of white distilled vinegar and 1/4 cup rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle.

2. Screw the lid on the spray bottle and give the bottle a shake to combine ingredients.

3. Squirt the homemade no-streak glass cleaner over your glass cooktop. Let it sit for several minutes on any stuck-on foods.

4. Wipe up the homemade glass cleaner and remaining food with a lint-free cloth or paper towel.

Tips & Warnings

• Mix a little bit of baking soda with some water until you have a paste. Use this paste if you have food on your glass cooktop that is difficult to remove. It won't scratch the surface like an abrasive cleaner.
