How to Clean a Glass Cooktop (And Keep It BRAND NEW)

Cleaning a glass top stove the wrong way is the fastest way to leave permanent scratches. In this video, I show you how to clean a glass cooktop, ceramic cooktop, or induction cooktop (also called a ceramic hob or induction hob) with a simple 4-level method: from a quick daily wipe-down to safely removing baked-on stains with a razor scraper. Zero scratches, factory-finish results. You'll learn why paper towels scratch glass, how to use baking soda and vinegar on burnt-on food and hard water rings, which ceramic cooktop cleaning cream to use (and why oven cleaner and scouring powder can ruin the surface), and the one emergency where you should scrape while the glass is still warm. ✅ WORKS FOR Glass top stoves, electric ceramic cooktops, radiant glass cooktops, induction cooktops and induction hobs, and glass-ceramic hobs. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 How to clean a glass cooktop without scratching it 0:32 Level 1: Daily cooktop cleaning (dish soap and microfiber) 1:22 Level 2: Remove burnt-on food and hard water rings (baking soda and vinegar) 2:01 Level 3: Deep clean and polish with ceramic cooktop cream 3:56 Level 4: How to use a cooktop razor scraper safely 5:14 The hot scrape exception: melted plastic and burnt sugar ✅ QUICK TAKEAWAYS - Always let the cooktop cool completely before cleaning - Use microfiber, never paper towels - Dish soap handles about 90% of daily spills - Baking soda plus a damp hot cloth softens baked-on crusts in 15 to 20 minutes - Use ceramic cooktop cream weekly or every two weeks, not daily - Hold a razor scraper at about 30 degrees and push in one direction only - Melted plastic or caramelized sugar is the one case to scrape right away, with an oven mitt and a dry scraper 📺 WATCH NEXT My earlier video on induction cooking mistakes: https://youtu.be/pINkXA4ZwIw 💬 What's your go-to product for keeping your kitchen spotless?
