#### **How to Clean:**
1. **Spray the Surface**: Apply a cleaning solution (like baking soda and vinegar or a commercial cleaner) to the stained area.
2. **Wait for 10–15 Minutes**: Allow the solution to sit on the stovetop to soften any tough spots.
3. **Use the Razor Blade**: Hold the razor blade at a 45-degree angle to the surface. Gently scrape away the burnt food or residue. Be careful not to scratch the glass—apply light pressure and work in short strokes.
4. **Wipe Clean**: Once you’ve removed the tough stains, wipe down the stovetop with a damp cloth to remove the solution. Dry the surface with a clean cloth.
A razor blade is excellent for targeted cleaning of stubborn spots, but always exercise caution and never use it on a hot stovetop.
### **5. Regular Maintenance and Prevention**
Preventing buildup in the first place is the best way to ensure your glass stovetop remains clean and sparkling. Regular maintenance can save you time and effort in the long run.
#### **Tips for Ongoing Care:**
– **Clean Spills Immediately**: As soon as a spill occurs, wipe it up with a damp cloth to prevent it from burning onto the stovetop. For sticky spills, sprinkle baking soda on the area before wiping.
– **Avoid Abrasive Cleaners**: Harsh, abrasive cleaners and scouring pads can scratch the surface. Always use a soft cloth or sponge when cleaning.
– **Use a Stovetop Protector**: Consider using a stovetop protector or stove liners to catch spills and grease before they land on the glass surface.
– **Buff After Cleaning**: After each cleaning session, buff the stovetop with a dry microfiber cloth to restore its shine and reduce streaks.
