A Quick and Easy Way to Make Your Glass Stovetop Shine

### Step-by-Step: How to Make Your Glass Stovetop Shine
#### 1. **Let it cool completely**
Never try to clean a hot stovetop. Wait until it’s completely cool to the touch.
#### 2. **Sprinkle with baking soda**
Generously cover the affected areas with baking soda. It’s a natural abrasive that’s gentle enough for glass but tough on grime.
#### 3. **Add vinegar**
Spray or pour white vinegar over the baking soda. The mixture will fizz — that’s the reaction breaking down tough residue.
#### 4. **Let it sit**
Allow the solution to sit for 10–15 minutes. This loosens stuck-on food and softens grease.
#### 5. **Wipe with a damp cloth**
Using a microfiber cloth or sponge soaked in warm water, gently wipe away the mixture. Use circular motions for extra shine.
#### 6. **Scrape if needed**
For stubborn spots, use a plastic scraper at a shallow angle. Never use metal tools, which can scratch the glass.
#### 7. **Final polish**
Add a drop of dish soap to a damp cloth and give the surface a final wipe. Rinse with clean water and buff dry with a clean microfiber towel.

### Optional: Prevent Future Buildup
* **Wipe down daily** with a soft cloth after cooking.
* **Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool** — they scratch!
* **Use drip pans or burner covers** to catch spills before they harden.
* **Always clean up sugary spills immediately** — they can cause permanent pitting if left too long.
