RE: Cleaning a Smooth Top Stove
Thanks all for your replies. I have had my glass cook top for almost two months now, and I don't regret it for a minute! I love it! I very rarely have to use a razor. It's VERY easy to clean, although you have to give it a good cleaning every two days or so.
I took the advice from the people who told me to get Barkeeper's Friend, and it's a great product. I use it all the time, never have scratches, and it really works on the cooked on gunk.I just use it with water, and the rough side of a sponge in a circular motion. Then I just take a clean wet cloth and wipe everything off. A spray of windex at the end shines everything up nice. No problems using windex. This plan works like a charm. Thanks to all who responded!!

They sell a kit at lowe's that is the ceramic stove top cleaner and a razor blade. I was nervous about using the razor blade on the stovetop but the gentleman at lowe's had used it on his stove an assured me it was ok. It worked and didn't damage the top. I use it all of the time now. (12/26/2007)

I think I have a different problem. Have a Bosch smooth top and have no problem cleaning. However, I have dark stains left behind around the circles and inner area as well. The crust and crud are gone and it is smooth - but this stuff I can't scrape up and any cleaner I use does not get this out. I'm very diligent about cleaning all the time but these stains won't go away. Thanks. (01/03/2008)

I have a Frigidaire smooth top stove and I hate it! But I found that one of the Mr. Clean "sponges" work very well for taking a lot of the dark stains and circles off. (01/14/2008)

I also use vinegar. This seems to help and adds a great shine. Works great with the "magic" eraser sponge! Still hate my stove though! Am stuck with it also! (01/14/2008)

I have a new smooth, black ceramic top stove. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to clean it, or a cheap cleanser to use that won't scratch the surface? It would be nice if there was something that I might have on hand at home? I have a store bought bottle, but it isn't cheap.

I use CERAMA BRYTE that I buy at Home Depot. It is made for glass top cooking stoves. Does a great job and easy to use. (10/09/2006)

I used baking soda works great. Make a paste, wipe it all over the glass top, let sit for a few minutes till hard then wipe off with warm cloth. (10/09/2006)

I have a smooth top stove also. I've had it for several years. The booklet that came with it tells me to get burned off food and other things such as grease to use a single edge razor blade. I put a liquid cleaner on it first just for the moister and use the razor blade. It is wonderful. Does not scratch top surface as this was recommended in my booklet.Then use the stove top cleaner on it to give it shine and helps to keep foods from sticking the next time.It is still as pretty as the day I bought it. Don't let foods stay on your burners and cook something else over it, because it can leave pits in your stove top that will never come out. I wouldn't buy anything other than a smooth cooktop burners. (10/09/2006)

Mr Clean eraser, baking soda or Cameo cleanser. All work great! I use different ones depending on how much crud is on it. I don't buy the expensive stuff anymore. I have had mine for 4 years and it looks like the day I bought it.
Good luck :)

I use baking soda on mine and have for years. It looks like new. I also use a sample of laminate kitchen counter as my scraper instead of the razor blade scraper that was recommended in my book that came with the stove. (10/10/2006)

Do you have a smooth top electric stove? I do and have found cleaning it aggravating with the commercial products out there (plus they are expensive).. Instead, I scrape off any raised burned on food with a single edge razor blade and then apply Cameo cleaner and use a generic "Eraser" sponge. All the darkened areas come right off without wearing you out! Much easier and less expensive method of cleaning. You can also use baking soda and an eraser when the cleanup isn't as burnt on.

I also use Barkeeper's Friend. It is about $1 at the grocery store and is very mild on the finish. (11/16/2005)

I also have a smooth top stove. Buy and use Barkeepers Friend. Its located close to comet. Works marvelously !! Wet stove top and sprinkle across the top. Let sit for few minutes and wipe off with wet rag. Use sparingly and very cheap. Works on any ceramic or stainless steel. Bar keepers use it. Cheap product. Also use on bottom of pots and pans.
