When I found this, I cheered:
Clean my glass-top stove? BRILLIANT!
I love my glass-top stove. It’s the third one I’ve had, the first one I’ve picked out myself. I think it’s hands down the best stove I’ve ever had. It gets that praise over the other two because it includes a combination convection oven.
However, after nearly three and a half years, it now looks like this:
Not as nasty as a coil stove gets, but not as pretty as on installation day!
Guess which burners I don’t use as often!
Things boil over, teens don’t clean up as well as they could, and just plain life happens and your pretty stove ends up a mess. I try so hard to get those rings off, but they just seem to get worse!
Why not try this idea from Pinterest? All it takes is some dish soap, a rag, warm water, and baking soda. Well, OK.
So first I wiped the stove off, then I sprinkled a ton of baking soda on the top of the stove. I then soaked a hand towel in water and dish soap. Like in the Pinterest picture, I spread the dish rag over the stove-top and left it for 15 minutes.
After the time went off, I started scrubbing. I made kids scrub. We worked hard.
Now it looks like this:
Can’t tell much of a difference.
Hmmm, you really can’t tell much of a difference. I promise you, my hand towel might never look the same again. It’s pretty nasty looking so that’s a little scary. If you lean down close, you can tell it looks better, but your nose needs to pretty much rest on the stove top. Try not to do that if you are cooking.
We might try this treatment a few more times just to see if we can get it to look better over time. The blog entry explaining how to do this did say it took her a couple of tries to clean hers.
I wanted to also make some other stuff, but it’s close to 70 degrees outside so forget that. We went on a walk. Which goes with all my awesome workout pins.
That’s my Pinterest week. Have a great day!

I have a paste cleaner that beats all heck out of baking soda. It works on glass too. It gets my stuff shiny as all get-out. May be a problem for your stove top if it’s etched though. But if it’s deposits on it, the paste sold by Norwex ought to get it off. It’s pretty amazing stuff.

There is supposed to be special cleaner at the store. I just don’t have any so I thought if baking soda worked, that’s all natural so woot. It definitely cleaned a lot of stuff off the stove-top and it was up against 3.5 years of crud. I’ll try this a couple of more times and see what it does.
