🔥 Why Glass Stovetops Get So Messy
Glass cooktops are beautiful… until they’re not. Here's why they get so grimy:
- They're flat and smooth , making them magnets for spills and splatters
- Food particles and oils bake onto the surface when left uncleaned
- Improper tools like steel wool or abrasive pads can scratch the glass
- Harsh cleaners can leave streaks or residue
- Over time, heat and buildup make stains harder to remove
The secret to a sparkling glass stovetop? Clean it regularly — and use the right method.
🛒 What You'll Need
Here’s what you’ll need for an effective, non-abrasive clean:
Basic Kit:
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1 soft microfiber cloth or sponge
- 1 plastic scraper (like a credit card or old gift card)
