Make warm, soapy water in sink. Soak a cloth dish towel in the soapy water. Sprinkle soda on stove top. Wring out towel so it's wet but not "drippy" wet. Lay across "soda-soaked" stove top, set timer for 15 min. Use same dish towel to wipe up--may need to rinse out and rewipe. If residue is left after drying, use a little window cleaner.
My question is: I already have baked on "rings" around the burners. Will I need to do this several times, or are those rings there forever? Is there a safe "scratcher" to remove them after the baking soda?
If I have burned on 'junk' on my stove top I spray 409 and let it set for a few minutes, the 409 releases the 'tension' of the burned on stuff and it just wipes up. I then use baking soda in water with a damp cloth to clean the top. It looks like they are putting a wet cloth on the top to loosen the burned on stuff then cleaning with baking soda and water. Rinse well and wipe dry.
I rarely have more than one burner from boil over's and I just use my dish cloth and pour some hot water over the rag and let it sit or use my old scraper. Does NOT hurt my stove, but with in seconds my stove top is clean. EASY!
The link worked for me. I have the exact same stove! :) For those of you that the link won't open......
Here's how to do it:1. Fill your kitchen sink with warm soapy water. Put your dish towel in the soapy water and get it thoroughly wet. 2. Sprinkle some baking soda on your stovetop. If there is a particularly dirty area, make sure there is a good amount of baking soda in that area.

3. Take your dish towel out of the soapy water and wring it out a little bit (the towel should be thoroughly wet with the soapy water, but not dripping wet). Lay the wet towel on your stovetop over the baking soda. 4. Let everything sit for at least 15 minutes. 5. When the 15 minutes is up, use the towel to wipe and clean the stovetop. After a little bit of wiping and cleaning, you may want to rinse the towel with some fresh water to help rinse away the baking soda. 6. Use a dry towel or rag to dry off the stovetop. If you come back and see any cloudy areas from baking soda that did not get thoroughly rinsed off, you can give it a little spritz of window cleaner. I use my club soda glass cleaner for this and it works great!
Even though this method requires 15 minutes of soaking, it still is pretty fast and easy because it requires no measuring or mixing of ingredients and most of us always have baking soda and dish soap in the house.
The link just took a long time to open.... You soak a dish cloth in hot, soapy water. Sprinkle stove top with baking soda (heavier where needed) Wring out dishcloth and place it on cook top - leave for 15 minutes and wipe off. You may need to rinse dishcloth and wipe it down again. I just tried it and it worked beautifully.
Looks to me like you take a kitchen towel and put it hot water-squeeze it out.--put baking soda on the stove top and then put the towel over it and let it set for say 15 -- 20 minutes after that just scrub with towel and should come clean.
I tested the link and it opened for me. Perhaps my server was having problems this afternoon. Hopefully any problem is now resolved and the link should open.
This is for Linda M. Believe it or not...... for baked on "stuff" on your stove, you use a single edge razor blade. ( not an old one, it will scratch) when I bought my stove, that's what the book said. I have never had a problem, or scratches. The baked on stuff will get worse, the more you cook on it!
Thanks, all, about the razor blade - will try. However, I think mine are in the stages of Suzette's evaluation--"the baked on tuff will get worse, the more you cook on it!"
The single-edged razor blade worked like a charm, Concetta!! I was standing there FOREVER, but it finally chipped off (esp. after the baking soda soak). I'll try the 409 maintenance also along with the blade too. Thanks.
