To clean your glass stove top using this method, you’ll need the following supplies: 1/4 cup of baking soda, 1/4 cup of white vinegar, a soft cloth or sponge, and a spray bottle. Optionally, you may want a microfiber cloth for polishing and a small bowl for mixing.
Ensure that you have everything within reach before you start cleaning. This will make the process smoother and quicker, allowing you to focus on achieving a spotless finish.
4. Preparing the Stove Top for Cleaning
Before you begin, make sure the stove top is completely cool to the touch. Remove any loose debris or crumbs with a soft cloth or brush. This will prevent scratching the surface when you start cleaning.
It’s also a good idea to give the stove top a quick wipe with a damp cloth to remove any surface-level dirt. This initial step ensures that the baking soda and vinegar can work directly on the stains and grime.
5. Applying Baking Soda: The First Step
Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda evenly over the entire surface of the stove top. Focus on areas with visible stains or burnt-on food. The baking soda will act as a gentle abrasive, helping to lift and loosen grime without scratching the glass.
For particularly stubborn spots, you can apply a thicker layer of baking soda. This will enhance its cleaning power and make it easier to remove tough stains.
6. Adding Vinegar: Creating the Cleaning Reaction
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and lightly mist the entire surface of the stove top. As the vinegar comes into contact with the baking soda, you’ll notice a fizzing reaction. This is the chemical reaction that helps to break down and lift dirt and grime.
Allow the vinegar to sit on the surface for a few minutes. This will give it time to penetrate and dissolve any stubborn residues, making them easier to wipe away.
7. Letting the Solution Work Its Magic
After spraying the vinegar, let the solution sit for about 10-15 minutes. This waiting period is crucial as it allows the baking soda and vinegar to work together to break down tough stains and grease.
During this time, you can prepare your cleaning cloth or sponge. Ensure it’s damp but not soaking wet, as too much water can dilute the cleaning solution and reduce its effectiveness.
