Lots of small & largely visible scatches on tw big burners
I moved in with husband into an apt. he’s been renting for a couple of years. I’ve managed to clean up the horrid burnt-on mess after 1 hour of dedicated scrubbing (thanks to a cooktop cleaner from Scotch-Brite), but now I need something to polish it. Will barkeepers friend help?
Please help- we are moving in a couple of days and I dont want the apt. complex to hang on to our deposit for a stove that’s had wear & tear for over 10 years (not to mention, the 2 yrs. tht my husband had it).
How to clean the glass stove tom
What chemical do you use to clean the new glass stove tops to get the baked on grease off?? I’ve tried a few items that work for regular cleaning but not the heavy duty grease.
Chemical to clean baked off grease
I tried Comet cleaner on my cooled down stove-top yesterday. Damp cloth and Comet did wonders, some grease was left which came off after using scoth-brite to scrub. Left my stove top looking shiny.
Hope it works for you.
foil
A friend put aluminum foil on his glass top stove – to protect it from his outside pot he was putting on it, he then heated the water to boiling and when he removed the pot the foil stayed stuck to the glass top. Any suggestions? I will admit it is hard to type when you are laughing.
foil be gone
Try dishwasher detergent, it will eat thru aluminum foil if you let it sit for a few hours. Other posts suggest it as a stove cleaner. Imagine we bake that stuff into our dishes!?!?!
rings of burnt on stuff
I tried sprinkling baking soda on my black glass cooktop and scrubbed with a wet paper towel. It worked miracles. I was cleaning it with Cermabryte but it wasn’t getting the burnt on rings around the burners off. The baking soda and elbow grease worked. It got almost all of it off. I had even tried previously the razor blade method to no avail. After scrubbing with baking soda then I used Cerma Bryte to buff the cooktop. Thanks for all the advice, you have now turned my attitude around on glass cooktops. I love mine now.
We have had open houses for 10 weeks now, and this is my job (cleaning the stove top; we have a black one). No one in the family cleans it after use, it is generally filthy.
This works:
Get bartender’s friend at the grocery store. I’ll wait until you get back.
.
.
.
OK, now get three paper towels. folded, wet one of them.
Wet the stove with the aforementioned paper towel
Sprinkle the bartender’s friend, use a lot, but not a ton. (you don’t want your stove to look like scarface was there).
Wipe the paper towel on the stove and press hard on the stains, cooked on food.
Keep rubbing.
with paper towel #2 (dry) clean up the stove top. You may need to add more bartender friend. The dryer the stove, the more the bartender friend will clean the hard spots.
dry with paper towel #3. There should be a white film on the stove top…
use a cloth to polish it up and you’re done.
10 mins, max.
burnt markings
I have a kitchen aid glass cooktop. Can anyone tell me how to remove the burnt markings off the burners. I am totally desprate.
burnt pan
We just bought my 87 y/o mom a new stove and she forgot her tea pot on a burner and it burned dry and left a mess on the burner. Any ideas on getting the mess off? I’m a BIG fan of barkeepers friend!
Cleaner for glass top stove
Has anyone tried tub and tile cleaner? It is a foam that I buy at Dollar General Store for about $1.50 for a big spray can. It is just as good as the high priced name brand. I use it on my stove, cabinets, refrigerator, oven door and even scorch inside or out of my pans.
For bad burned on spots on your cook top, spray on a lot of foam and let it stand. A piece of plastic wrap can be put over really bad spots and left to soak. It cuts grease like magic. Just wipe it off with a sponge or rag and polish with a paper towel or microfiber cloth.
Baking soda really works!!! I tried everything else and nothing worked but the baking soda.
Stains on white top -
The cleaning part is fine and the shine as well. My problem is that one of my pans has stained the glass. Its a dark grey colour and that is what I would like to remove. The top is white so very noticeable. Any suggestions.
Thanks

Baking soda for burnt marks on glass top ranges
Tabita, thank you!! I just got a brand new stove and when I just boiled water, I saw a burnt marks from the pot i guess, I was going crazy trying to remove the marks and I read these comments and tried the baking soda. It works!!! thank you so much for sharing.
cleaning white glass cooktops
Hands down, using Soft Scrub – Lemon and a plastic scrubber sponge is the only thing that I have found that removes all of the burnt on food without scratching my stove top. It takes a few wipings with a wet rag to get all of the residue off but the results are awesome!!!!!!
my solution
I’ve had my black glasstop stove for just 6 months, and found it not hard to clean, but must use a different method to clean it. For general cleanup, I use just dish soap and a sponge. for medium cleanings, I use a spray bottle of pure vinegar and a magic eraser for cleaning, and a paper towel to polish. For tough spills, and that ring you get when you fry foods, I use a straight razor, then the vinegar/magic sponge. it still looks brand new, and it’s gotten pretty nasty before until I figured out these methods. Hope this helps.
mr. clean eraser
I use the Mr. Clean magic eraser for the baked on stuff, works perfectly!
Stains on white top -
Finally found something that removes the ugly grey stain. Ultra Shout. Apply, wipe off and then turn on the burner. The stain just disappeared. Amazing. No scrubbing required.
I Have Two Words.....
BAKING SODA! BAKING SODA! BAKING SODA! Ok, that’s 6 words, but it works unbelievably well!! I got that hint from this site & decided to try it on some pot marks that have been on my glass cook top for months. In just a few minutes, my stove looks as new as the day it was bought!!
Thanks for the tip everyone!
Baking soda does work!
I read here about using baking soda and thought “yeah right” I have used the stove top cleaner from the place we bought the stove , soft scrub, razors , magic eraser, you name it, but nothing worked . Baking soda really did!! It’s a lot cheaper too . Just try it, you will be amazed!!
How About Sugar Based Stuff
Yes, baking soda works wonders on almost everything. But what about sugar-based stuff that is charred on?
My own Miracle "cleaner"
If I have a really bad, spill (oh, say you’re cooking spagetti sauce, and you can REALLY tell it’s going to be really caked on by the time you’re done) I take half a lemon and rub the spots with the cut side of the lemon while the stove is still hot. If it’s really bad, wait until it’s cooled off, and soak the spots in lemon juice.
Then, I take equal parts of baking soda, arm&hammer washing soda (laundry) and plain ol’ borax, and scrub. Usually the lemon juice has already done most of the work for me, and if not, the powdery mixture does the trick! It’s really good for getting off the grease stains, and shines like it’s brand new.
