I have a brand new stove that I can’t get burned overflow food off of it! I’ve tried Mr Clean eraser, vinegar, microfiber cloth, lots of elbow grease, dawn, etc. It’s only a week old . Stains show up everywhere. Please help!😩

If It’s a glass top you can scrape it off with a razor blade. I do it all the time.

Gas or electric? Brushed aluminum or glass or stainless steel? Stains should not be showing up unless neglected too long. Tomato stains necessitate immediate removal.
Try Bon Ami cleanser of Bar Keeper's Friend Cleanser. Your stove's paperwork should have included a section on cleaning.

  It’s electric but a rental in an almost 3 million dollar home. I started cooking on it a few days ago but the cleaning made me use the crockpot 😜 The builder didn’t leave the paperwork but I think it’s glass. It’s so frustrating. Thx for your help

  Mine is pretty obvious it's glass. It's very dark, looks like glass over black. The burners are marked with thin gray circles that cannot be scraped off, I think they are either under the glass or within the glass, but they are not on top of the glass. Here's a picture of mine, pretty basic stove (cuz my home is certainly not a 3 million dollar home!). I hope this helps you. That long light colored line in the pic is just a reflection from the microwave stove light above it. Touch the picture to enlarge it.

  My glass top--I put Dawn dish soap on cooled burners then moist paper towels over burners then a little white vinegar let soak over night then moisten with boiling water in morning and use scrubber sponge(for really burnt on ) this removes burnt on boiled over potatoes,pasta(starches); I also use Bio Cleaner get on QVC.com it is clay cleaner works well on glass top,stainless,copper, sinks, pots,pans non abrasive non toxic leaves protective coating (miracle cleaner for glass top) here's link https://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.V35857.html?colorId=850&sizeId=000&ref=GBA&cm_mmc=GOOGLESHOPPINGFEED-_-GShopping|L|BrandProduct|home+improvement|vacuums+cleaning-_-pla-_-sV6X5FUHu|dc_41632033626_pla-565601343016__V35857-850-000_&mkwid=sV6X5FUHu|dc_pcrid_41632033626_565601343016_pkw__pmt__productid_V35857-850-000&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI28WN9KCq4AIVktlkCh3GaQfpEAYYASABEgIr2_D_BwE

Have you tried leaving soaked paper towels with any of the cleaners just sit for a while? Maybe mix the vinegar and dawn and use that for the soak? It might soften it up enough to scrap it off. I do like bar keepers friend, too.

  Since it's new but you don't have the manual, find the make and model. Go to the manufacturers website and put in the model number. You should be able to read the manual online. Good luck.

If this is a new stove you should have a book that came with it. There should be cleaning instructions and information of how to clean and things not to use on your new stove. There might be a specific cleaner that you should be using.

  This is a new home in Hawaii. No manuals on anything. 😡 The realtor doesn’t know anything either. Thx

  There should be a hint of the manufacturer's name somewhere on the stove. If not, ask the realtor to contact the builder. He probably installs the same brand in all his high-end homes. Then go online to find a PDF of your missing booklet. I'd want and would expect to be given specific info about my appliances especially if I bought a new home (and I'd be spending alot less than it sounds like you did!)

  We are not buying , it is to expensive just renting which makes it worse. Everything should have proper manuals to them.

  Yes, if you are renting it is critical to know how to maintain everything in the house. Good luck!

The realtor needs to contact the landlord. If the landlord would find a stain they can't instantly remove, he may attempt to retain your security deposit. It was thoughtless of him not to leave you with cleaning advice for all materials in the home.

There should be a brand name and model number on your stove somewhere. I located the model number on mine underneath the knob. Look up the brand name on line should be able to get a phone number or information about your stove.

  Open the oven door, it's usually around the side somewhere.
