Never drag pots across the surface — lift instead of slide
Use cookware appropriate for your stove type — heavy, smooth, and clean-bottomed is best
🧪 Optional: Try a Cooktop Cleaning Kit
Many brands sell glass stove top cleaning kits, which often include:
Cleaner specifically made for glass/ceramic surfaces
A soft scrub pad or sponge
A safe scraper tool
They’re affordable and make a big difference when used regularly.
🔧 If It’s Still Not Right…
If you’ve cleaned and polished, but:
There’s permanent clouding
Stains won’t come off
There’s a visible crack
Or the burners are acting up…
It may be time to replace the cooktop or call in a professional. Glass stove tops are durable, but not invincible — and safety comes first.
✅ Final Thoughts
A glass stove top is a sleek and efficient kitchen upgrade — but only when it’s clean and safe. If yours is looking gross or possibly damaged, don’t ignore it. A little effort (and the right tools) can go a long way in restoring your cooktop to shine like new — and extending its lifespan.
And remember: if there’s a crack, stop cooking and call a pro. No recipe is worth risking a broken stove.
