If you have a specialized glass stove top cleaner, apply a small amount to the surface. Use a microfiber cloth to spread it evenly and buff the surface to a shine. This step will also create a protective barrier, making future cleanings easier.

Step 10: Final Wipe and Buff

Finish by spraying the stove top with white vinegar or water and wiping it down with a clean microfiber cloth. Buff the surface to remove any streaks or smudges, leaving your stove top sparkling clean.

Tips for Maintenance

1. Clean spills immediately: Wipe up spills as soon as the stove top cools to prevent them from hardening.
2. Avoid abrasive tools: Never use steel wool, harsh scouring pads, or powders.

4. Regularly polish: A weekly polish with a glass cleaner keeps the stove top shiny and protected.

By following this step-by-step method, you can clean your glass stove top quickly and safely while maintaining its pristine look. A clean stove top not only improves the appearance of your kitchen but also extends the life of your appliance.
