No, I've had two ranges with glass cooktops, they are sealed around the edges so there is nothing to clean out!
However, if you have a spill or boil over, be sure to turn off the burner, remove the pan and cool both so the mess can be safely cleaned. Leaving a mess on the burner and continue using it will likely leave dark stain that cannot be removed. My first glass top was a lighter gray color and some unknown substance became cooked on and left dark stains. When the oven went out on that range, I replaced it with another that has darker glass top, so far no stains! Lessons learned.
I have an off white electric stove with an off white glass top , have had it for over 15 years and the top look just like I bought it.
I use commercial cleaner make for glass tops. there are several good ones and a small plastic putty knife. I make sure I rinse it well with a damp sponge , then paper towel dry it.
Every time I clean my mirrors, they end up having tons of streaks and almost look worse than before I started. What could I use to clean them that won't leave streaks...

C.J. is correct..the darker the glass top...the less you will get stains, but you still have to watch "cook-overs" & clean them after the top cools!!
