B. Enne on Aug 21, 2015Have you tried a thin blade window scraper (thin razor blade) that removes paint? I use a product called Universal Stone, but I think this may be beyond regular cleaning. http://universalstone.ca/ What about a Magic Eraser?Helpful Reply

Garden girl on Aug 21, 2015I found using CameO cleanser works really well I've also used a worn scotch brite and for crusty stuff a razor blade works try not to scrub really hard I also have used spray oven cleaner I don't think these things are on the recommended list but if you are careful I have had success with each of these treatments.Helpful Reply

Cool Grammaw on Aug 21, 2015Gently scrape off the gunk with a razor blade - but only use the type you can get from a hardware store that has a handle on one side, blade on the other. You'l have to use great care to avoid injury to self and the stove top. It's time consuming but it will work. Don't use any kind of scrubby pad at all! If you use the ceramic stovetop cleaner, spread it onto the stove top, let it sit for a while (it can even dry out, that is OK) and then clean it off with the razor. You might have to change out the blades, because they will get dull.Helpful Reply

Janet Pizaro on Aug 21, 2015You absolutely cannot use a scraper on that kind of stove. There is a special cleaner available for glass tops. Go to a home improvement store, you will have to use it more than once until the grime starts to dissapate.Helpful Reply

Teri on Aug 22, 2015I use SoftScrub and a worn Scotch-Brite sponge to clean new spots. Wait until the stovetop is totally cool before you do it. I do have some black spots that will not come off no matter what I do - probably because the top wasn't cleaned properly by the previous owner...Helpful Reply

Wanda.ll on Aug 22, 2015yep oven cleaner works like a charm and doesn't scratch surface. I've used for years on all glass pots, pans and also on stainless steal post and pans( has to be stainless not aluminum).Also use a scrapers to get cleaner off with then no scratches from scrubbers. I got a new house had horrible stove and did this. It comes clean but they scratched it badly before hand so have to use oven cleaner about ever week to really clean.Buy the way Appliance guy said it was fine since no grit in it.Helpful Reply

Mary Rossell on Aug 22, 2015I never tried the liquid form, so I really can't say. If you have a wal-Mart close, try there. That's where I buy it all the time. Been using it for years.Helpful Reply

Carol Potts on Aug 22, 2015First use olive oil or cooking oil on the burnt food and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then use a teaspoon to scrape it off after it is softened and wipe off the excess. Then I make a paste of baking soda and lemon juice and spread it all over the stove top, where the spots of burnt food were, use a credit card or a teaspoon to scrape off anything left. I leave this paste overnight and in the morning wipe it up with a wet sponge. It always looks like new.Helpful Reply

Kathy Bitzan on Aug 22, 2015I used the baking soda and peroxide I heard about, did a pretty good job. But I will try using some others next time. Interesting what works on something I thought would be easier to clean......Helpful Reply

Green Cleaning Coach on Aug 22, 2015There is a product called Shadazzle. It is really just two simple ingredients - pumice and olive oil. That product along with a straight razor does the trick every time on my stove. Don't be afraid of the razor - just keep it at a 45 degree angle and it will remove most everything.Helpful Reply

Karen's Up on The Hill on Aug 23, 2015I was going to try this. Let the water sit for tough stains Fill a small bucket or spray bottle with 2 cups of water and mix in 1 tbsp. of fresh lemon juice or 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar. Wipe the stove with a dry rag to remove surface dust and loose crumbs. Spray the solution or dip the rag into the cleaning solution and wring out. Wipe the stove with the wet rag to remove dirt and grease, rinsing and wringing the rag as needed.Helpful Reply

Funnygirl on Aug 24, 2015My stovetop looked like yours. Nothing worked. finally I went to the dollar tree and purchased some small razors . You have to angle them slightly,and do not scratch the heating element, but carefully work around the element. Worked for me. Bought them in the tool section. They have little covers on one side to protect your fingers,you will need to slide out the razor and move it so the razor part is sticking out,and then there is a small lock on the holder to hold it properly.when you are done using it unlock the holder,and put the sharp side back inside the holder,keep it out of a child's reach. Very sharp!Helpful Reply
