My glass stove top looks gross and may even be damaged. What should I do?

### **Dealing with Tough Stains and Burn Marks**

Even with regular cleaning, you may find that some stains and burn marks are more stubborn and refuse to come off with the basic cleaning methods. This is especially true if you’ve accidentally spilled something sugary, like syrup or tomato sauce, which can burn onto the surface and create difficult-to-remove marks. Let’s go over how to handle these tougher stains.

#### **1. Remove Burnt-On Food with a Razor Blade Scraper**

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, food gets burned onto the glass, leaving behind a stubborn stain that just won’t budge. In this case, you may need to use a plastic or razor blade scraper designed for glass stove tops. The scraper works by gently lifting the burnt residue without scratching the surface.

To use a scraper effectively:

– Make sure the stove top is completely cool.
– Hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle and gently scrape away the burnt residue. Be sure to use light pressure—forcing the scraper too hard could scratch the glass.
– Work slowly and methodically, being careful not to scratch or damage the surface.
– Wipe away any remaining debris with a damp microfiber cloth.

#### **2. Baking Soda and Vinegar Paste for Burnt Stains**

If scraping doesn’t work or you’re dealing with particularly stubborn stains, you can make a paste from baking soda and vinegar. This paste is especially effective at breaking down burnt-on food and grease without damaging the glass.

To make the paste:

– Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar.
– Apply the paste to the burnt stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
– After the paste has had time to work, use a damp cloth to scrub away the stain.
– Repeat the process if needed, applying a fresh layer of paste for more stubborn stains.

#### **3. Commercial Glass Cooktop Cleaner**

If home remedies aren’t doing the trick, consider using a specialized commercial glass cooktop cleaner. These cleaners are formulated specifically for glass stove tops and can tackle tough stains and burn marks without causing damage. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
