Follow these steps for a perfectly clean Cooktop.
-
Safety first! Ensure your cooktop is completely cool before you start cleaning to avoid burns. Remove any loose debris or crumbs with a dry microfiber cloth or a gentle sweep with a hand broom.
-
Squeeze a small amount of Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner and Polish directly onto the cooktop. Use the Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge to spread the cleaner evenly over the surface. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down any grease and grime.
-
For general cleaning, gently scrub the cooktop with the non-abrasive scrub sponge. For tougher, cooked-on stains, sprinkle a little baking soda on the stain, then spray with vinegar. Let it fizz for a few minutes, then use the razor blade scraper from the Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaning Kit to carefully lift the residue. Always hold the scraper at a 45-degree angle to avoid scratching the glass.
-
Once all stains are removed, use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe away any remaining cleaner. Buff the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to bring out the shine. Make sure there are no streaks or residue left on the cooktop.
Tips For Maintenance and Care
Clean spills immediately: The longer spills sit, the harder they are to remove.
Use the right cookware: Avoid using rough-bottomed pots and pans that can scratch the glass.
Regular deep cleanings: Perform a deep clean at least once a month to keep your cooktop in top condition.
