I have the same problem. All I can say is learn to live with it.

You can try Bar Keepers Friend. You can find it among the comet and Ajax cleansers. https://www.barkeepersfriend.com/what-to-clean/how-to-use/in-the-kitchen/

I had the same issue. I used the ceramic cleaner but let it sit fairly wet on the eye, scrub, reapply, let sit until the stained area was gone. You need to be careful not to scrub to hard or you will damage the surface and just make matters worse. I find that if I am careful not to start any pot on high heat I don't have this issue.

those marks are scratches or scars in the glass top of the stovetop unit. It is from use, pots and pans can scratch the surface and you do learn to live with them

Here are some clever methods/hacks to try:

I use the cleaner,and let it set for a while, then use a single edge razor blade to scrape it. That came from the people at Sears when I bought it about 15 years ago!!!!!!

Razor blade, it's grease&I do it all the time.

Thenk you so much Julie! Wish my Sears salesman had been that forthcoming. LOL

Use a magic eraser

I am out of it, so I don't remember the name of it ,but what it will do is clean all the black heard burned on stuff marks off the glass window of a wood stove You just spray it on let it set, then wipe it off with paper towels. you may have to hit it twice. I use it to get the black marks off the inside of the glass of the stove oven. window.That might help you Look for cleaner that cleans wood stove glass at Walmart or Lowes some place like that. I hated my glass toped stove I was blessed it just cracked in half one day .I walked in the kitchen and it went pop and it cracked I was so happy To get that think out of the house.

I have a glass top stove and use Barkeepers soft spray cleanser. Works great. I spray, lightly scrub with a kitchen sponge, rinse, repeat if needed. Sometimes I clean it with window cleaner afterwards! Best of luck.

Use salt and a damp magic dresser sponge

I clean quite a few homes and what I'm going to tell you is not recommended by the manufacture of the stove tops. Try a test patch first, but in 10 yrs., I haven't ruined a stove top yet! Spray the top with any basic cleaner or water. Sprinkle on some powdered Bar Keeper's Friend. Get a green scrub i.e. - those flat ones. I've tried other colors, but there's something more abrasive on the green ones. Just scrub around. Stuff should come over fav easily. I had one home where their teenage daughter laid the dish towel on the hot stove top. You could see the thread pattern. This took two times, but I got it off. After you get it all clean, spray glass cleaner on it and wipe to a nice shine. (1/2 alcohol and 1/2 water is a great glass cleaner) good luck!

It's not porous; it's smooth ceramic; but it does not all come off. We even had a professional cleaner work on it and she couldn't get it totally clean. I correct myself; it is clean, but it's stained.
