We have a new glasstop range. Is there a good homemade or commercial
cleaner for keeping the top in good shape?

In our previous home we had an electric glass cook top and used these
cleaners. They worked quite well. I installed the electric glass cook
top myself.

Sometimes if something is really stuck on, you have to use a razor
blade scraper to remove it:

I use "windex" for the main cleaning (any glass cleaner will do) and the
range came with a regular razor scraper to remove any deposits prior to
cleaning. Once I get the top clean, I then use a small squirt of ceramic
polish (that, again, came with the range) to polish the top with a paper
towel.

I LOVE how easy these are to keep clean!

Congrats!

Mine is a Black GE. What did you get and what color?

Sheldon, if you have to brag, you have problems with being insecure

yours).

I use Weiman cook top cleaning cream (shown in the first link in Rusty's
message). A sample bottle came with my glasstop range several years ago,
and I have purchased additional bottles at both Sears and Lowe's. It works
great. It takes only a very small amount, clean and buff with a paper towel
with *every* use of the glasstop. When I bought mine, the sales rep
suggested that I do this between every use to prevent baking on any
substances that might require more vigorous cleaning. It is easy to do and
literally takes only a second -- and my glasstop looks brand-new after
several years. Incidentally, the sales rep also said that one thing that
could mar these tops is is sugary substances are spilled and allowed to
remain on the hot stovetop. That has never happened to me, so I can't speak
from experience, but he said that those spills need to be cleaned
immediately.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not
so great) words of knowledge:

We use a glass cleaner for the majority of cleaning, and about once
every 2 weeks (or if there is a "crud" spill) we use "Soft Scrub". Our
glass top is going on six years old and except for some minor scratches
around the one burner we use most frequently, it looks like new.

My glasstop stove came with a bottle of the cleaner stuff and the
enclosed video said "Soft Scrub" without bleach would do the same
thing. Sometimes for just a quick wipe I used Windex, also. However,
I do add more ammonia to the bottle to make it a tad stronger. My
cooktop looks brand new, too. Just a little elbow grease keeps it
looking like that.

Have you tried Simple Green? I don't use it at home, but a lot of
people do. It takes (wet) ink off the copy machine (a Rizo) in a
flash, maybe it will do the same with kitchen grease.
