My glass stove top looks gross and may even be damaged. What should I do?

  • Never drag pots across the surface — lift instead of slide
  • Use cookware appropriate for your stove type — heavy, smooth, and clean-bottomed is best

  • 🧪 Optional: Try a Cooktop Cleaning Kit

    Many brands sell glass stove top cleaning kits, which often include:

    • Cleaner specifically made for glass/ceramic surfaces
    • A soft scrub pad or sponge
    • A safe scraper tool

    They’re affordable and make a big difference when used regularly.


    🔧 If It’s Still Not Right…

    If you’ve cleaned and polished, but:

    • There’s permanent clouding
    • Stains won’t come off
    • There’s a visible crack
    • Or the burners are acting up

    It may be time to replace the cooktop or call in a professional. Glass stove tops are durable, but not invincible — and safety comes first.


    ✅ Final Thoughts

    A glass stove top is a sleek and efficient kitchen upgrade — but only when it’s clean and safe. If yours is looking gross or possibly damaged, don’t ignore it. A little effort (and the right tools) can go a long way in restoring your cooktop to shine like new — and extending its lifespan.

    And remember: if there’s a crack, stop cooking and call a pro. No recipe is worth risking a broken stove.
