A glass stovetop is an elegant piece of appliance in the kitchen that looks sleek, shiny, and modern. However, food splatters from cooking, oil from deep frying, fingerprints, and general grime and dirt makes the stove look unkempt. These stains are often difficult to remove as you will need to use a lot of elbow grease when dealing with these stains.
Commercial cleaning solutions often get the job done efficiently, but they can be chock full of toxic chemicals that you don't want near your food! Instead, reach for homemade cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and can be made DIY in a pinch! Here are our top picks for DIY glass stovetop cleaning solutions:
