Char Inmans Blog: I am new at this and still trying to figure things...: I am new at this and still trying to figure things out here. I have wanted to share some of the things I have found to make things easy. Cooking , cleaning and other things.
When we moved in to our new house last year , the house came with a glass top stove that was
a huge mess. Whoever lived here before had burnt things on to the glass burner and had not taken care
of it at all. It is black glass . There was a little bottle of the glass top cleaner that had come with the stove
but it had never been used. I set about trying to clean it with baking soda, windex, everything I could think of
to get the marks off of it. I scrubbed it and scrubbed it. I had a new glass top stove before and had
already read up on what to use to clean them. Nothing was working on this. I kept at it . I was told
to use a razor blade but didnt have one and kept forgetting to get one.
After weeks of trying to get it to look decent I took a SOS pad and very gently began to work
on the marks around the burner. I say gently because you have to use it gently on the glass so as
not to scratch it. After a few weeks WA LA, it worked. All the burnt marks were gone.
I might have been able to do it faster but I am old and cant stand there for hours working
at it. I would rub it on the spots in a circle for a few seconds , wipe it and then repeat this.
Then spray it with glass cleaner to get all the soap off it. Never clean the glass top stove when it is hot.
I wish I had taken a picture of before and after so you could see the difference.
so in summary if you have a impossible to clean glass top stove get the SOS pad out and have at it. But do it gentle so as not to scratch it. And I would only suggest this when all else fails. Cause if you take care
of it in the first place you wont have to go to this extreme.
