My cooktop is used everyday. It is a glass one like yours. Everyday after I cook I clean my stove with Windex (ammonia cuts grease) and a dishwashing scrub pad. I then dry it to a smooth shine with paper towels. Once a week I clean it and polish it with the white paste cleaner you used first. It makes my stove look almost as good a new. You must maintain a stove top to keep it looking good.

I also use the Weimans product and I do not have any scratches on my glass top and the top still looks new. You barely even have to scrub when you use the Weimans glass top cleaner. Works AMAZING!

The Cer -A-ma -brite (for "ceramic" not "sermuh" ) is supposed to be used without water - it is a fine abrasive that is scrubbed with a dry cloth or paper towel to clean and buff like a paste car wax does. It wipes clean. Works on mine unless I let it build up. I have also used a razor blade for smal areas, then finished with Ceramabrite. 👍

I use bar keepers friend(the powdered version) in mine with a green scrubby. It works so good!

The old fashioned stoves never had these problems.

I still remember pulling those coil elements out of their sockets and cleaning out the basins underneath them, also the metal guards around the burners, I think that the truth is., all stoves require ongoing cleaning to keep them serviceable and looking good, kinda like us! 😆

For a fair test, you should have segmented the bad burner in pieces and tried the different products on a quarter of that burner. What you were doing now is working some of the dirt off without a fair test for the others.

Same thing I was thinking. By the time she gets to the last product, most of the “mess” is gone.

Put boiling water in a cup. Add a dishwasher pod and stir to dissolve the pod. Pour onto the top of stove and spread it around. Leave it for 10 mins.

Instead of water use olive oil. It's more viscous. Car rubbing compound would work very well, it's made to take out scratches on surfaces

When my stove dies- I’m never going to get a glass top again.

The key to keeping a glass top stove clean and shiny is to clean every time you use it. Sometimes it just needs a wipe off. If a pot boils over, move it to another burner and clean as soon as it cools off. Use the white cleaner polish with a dry towel or paper towels. It leaves a protective coating. The worst stains are caused when frying when the oil it grease burns onto burner. If cleaned using a razor blade scraper after cooking you can keep it looking good. I learned to wipe stove around my fry pan as I cook. If I pour out the grease u wipe the side of the pan either a wet cloth before putting back on stove. My stove is 20 years old and still looks almost new. Now you have yours clean and shiny, get a routine and keep to it. Loved your video.

Agree to everything in this comment. Clean up right away, do NOT cook on a dirty burner, cerambrite is great for polishing and finish cleaning AFTER using other methods. It is mainly a mild abrasive, not a cleaner per se, so letting it sit does little. Another abrasive that works well is cream of tartar. My general cleaning involves using a vileda glass top sponge. Mild abrasive on one side, polished on other.

I do love the way my glass top stove performs. That being said, I detest the cleanup. Thirty minutes after every use will eventually lead to a serious cleaning about once a month because slowly something resembling baked on carbon will build up in spots. Grrrr I should add, I’m very careful with my cookware. After three years I have no scratches. And as an aside, the baking soda was meant to be a scrub as it’s mildly abrasive, not just let it sit and then wipe it off.

I use Weiman Cooktop products - they work really well! It comes with the scrubber brush, a razor blade holder, cleaner and polish and spray to cleaning... Works really well! I buy them at the grocery store or on Amazon.

It helps if overflow gets cleaned up asap. Also metal bottom pans and shaking them like you might on a gas stove is a no no for glass tops. It is also wise to clean down glass tops according to use. Right after done cooking and doing dishes the glass tops are part of routine cleaning. The “ceramic bright” ,or similar, use at least every 2 weeks as it polishes the surface.

I purchased stove stubbing blocks from Amazon. They are 1” square by aprox 3” length fine sand grit blocks. I was worried but my glass top stove now looks like new.

I went out & bought an electric skillet. I'd much rather clean this small appliance than the cooktop. Infact I RARELY use cooktop anymore.

Thank you for being informative and I'll try this !! I loved your little laughter!

I use Bar Keepers Friend powder and a Mr. Clean scrubber. I polish it with method all purpose cleaner. Takes only a few minutes and leaves a beautiful shine.

I used weiman cleaners after every use. If anything boiled over i wiped it up right away. I let it dry sometimes, then scrubbed and no scratches. Also used weiman stainless steel cleaner for fridge and fsucets, and that worked well also.

I have removed crusted burn on the stove top by simply putting comet and then a wet dishcloth on top and let it sit and soak for 15-20 minutes. That has worked for me rather than using baking soda and vinegar which didn't do any better than my water letting it soak to soften the Krusty burn on.

Early on after getting this type of glass top stove, the front right burner, like yours, which is used the most, became discolored and scratched, leaving a silvery finish on the glass. No amount of product, scrubbing or using a razor blade would remove it. The heavy silver cooking fry pan damaged the surface. Using the ultra fine grit of 800-1200 grit, seems to be my best option to try and so I thank you for that, because I have not heard of doing that. I do wonder about the products mentioned here in the comments about a scratch remover for cars. Thanks for sharing this process. 😊

Aluminum pans work well on glass, as long as they sit dead flat, but you absolutely can't move them around as you cook or they leave those marks.

I’m so happy I found your channel. I have the same problem. I can’t wait to try .

Every time you use your cooker you should clean it and it depends on what sort of saucepans you are using and if there's anything on the bottom of the pans it will damage your cooker.

The best thing is an eraser. Just an average school eraser. Works like a charm

you could also check with car guys who buff out headlights, and what they use.

Thank you for this tutorial. I was cleaning mine a few days ago and found the same problems. Im trying your method!

The new glass top stoves do not hold up as well as old glass top stoves. They have a different glass. 😢 They look the same but are NOT THE SAME.

If anything , your stovetop is spotlessly clean!!!I think the sandpaper worked best!I have the same ceramic top stove and run into the same problems!

If you shake the bottle of product up prior to use and follow directions on bottle it works well. But it can not fill in deep gouge scratches.

I’ve used several different products over a period of time, and most did some good. What I’m using most recently is Awesome with a microfiber cloth.

The scratches you are referring to look to be hard water deposits not scratches. The minerals in water left behind after the water boils and evaporates. I'm wondering if you left the vinegar to sit longer, it may have worked better.

Wow... you're so brave! I'm not sure I'd have been brave enough to try the sandpaper!

Body shop painters use wet sandpaper on automobile paint jobs, but as you said, it's a very, very fine grade. Normally only a diamond will scratch glass, so a very fine grit of sandpaper used with copious amounts of water shouldn't scratch a glass stove top.

I have a white glass top. Soft scrub with bleach is a pretty good product. I let it sit on heavey stains or on a stained scratch as you do about 25 minutes. Look forward to more videos.

My cleaner for my glasstop stove is supposed to be buffed off with a dry cloth and NO water used.

I’m glad I stumbled on your channel!!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! My glastop stove is so scratched and now I have a solution! 💖🌹

My stove is 11 years old and looks nearly new. I don't slide pans around, and after use, always spend 3 minutes polishing it up with Weiman cleaner, using clean paper towels. My cookware is mostly stainless, but I have old cast iron that sits dead flat and an antique cast aluminum griddle I use for smash burgers. I was brought up using coil burners. Between cleaning drip pans and gas stoves, I'll take the glass top stove every day of the week, including Sunday!!!

Might have been better to clean a portion of stove top with each option to get a better comparison of effectiveness.

Sprinkle Dry Baking Soda to cover the cook top. Lay paper towels over top of the Baking Soda corner to corner. Cover entire top. Sprinkle water and wet paper towels which absorb the Baking Soda. Let sit overnight. Cleans like a dream.

Great job! I have tried every thing you have in my stove top looked as good as yours. But now after cleaning I use a tooth paste and I have a car buffer this makes it look so nice like new, also if my food spills over I take a wet dish rag in wipe it up right away quickly it does not hurt to do that even with the eye red hot. After doing the dishes I wipe down the stove right away. Also if I need to move a pot to a different eye I pick it up not scoot the pan😊. No matter what .

I’ve got a stove top like this not long ago and it’s got a few scratches on it too so I’m gonna try doing your idea on it so thanks for the tip . I’m a new subscriber by the way ! 😊

I clean houses and use automotive sandpaper and sharp razors on glass shower doors and stove tops. They come clean every time though using a sharp razor on the hard water stains works more efficiently, it scrapes off like a powder, and leaves a clear glass behind.

Magic eraser works easily after spills or stains made a long time ago

Clean the cooktop every time you use it. And use the product Orange Glo to polish it. It is furniture polish, yes, but it makes the stovetop look like new. It makes all stainless appliances look fantastic. It actually acts as a barrier to keep the stove cleaner!

Spray the top with Dawn Powerwash. Leave it sit for a few minutes. Get a NEW one-sided straight razor blade ( hardware section at store) gently use the straight blade to scrape the surface. Hold the blade securely in one hand. Keep the blade's sharp edge at a slight inclined angle. Then wipe clean. I got off everything that was burned or overflowed white marks . The surface of my stove is completely smooth without any raised surfaces. I had previously tried other methods without complete success.

Also pumus works wonderfully in your ovens.& Scrapes the metals grades. Lightly w/ water . !! Hope that helped you !!

Easy-Off! Works every time!

Leaving the Cerama brite on doesn't help. It is slightly abrasive, like baking soda or fine sandpaper and works by scrubbing action. None of these products will "remove" scratches, it is glass after all, but it does polish the surface. Daily cleaning of spills, even water spills, is the best prevention.❤

The other products probably would work but you really didn't scrub anything you just wiped it on & wiped it off the sand paper worked because it has a grit & doesn't need much pressure to work

I always warm my cooktop up before cleaning with cerama bryte , it works really great on a warm surface. A medium heat, not that hot that it dries the cream or burns your hand. Try it. I use it the same way on the sole plate of my iron if someone uses too high a heat and stains it.

Scrub daddy has a product with the scrubber that works really well. Its similar to the cleaning paste called pink stuff which also works really well.
