good glass stove cleaner?

[inferno]

when i was living in norway i found a very good glass stovetop cleaner. but now i'm not in norway anymore...

so i want to know what you guys have used that has actually worked. and since brand names are different in europe and the US it might be the best to list the ingredients too i suppose.

I use this on my induction and it works: Cerama Bryte

This is what I use down here every few days (induction cooktop), but it's probably local to Aus. For daily cleaning I just use normal benchtop cleaner stuff.

I use the cleaner. Works OK.

Does the protector add much?

Not a huge amount, I think. I'm debating whether or not to buy it next time. Problem is I'm a completionist, and so knowing it was out there and I wasn't using it would niggle me. A LOT...

We use a combo of things:
Windex when the top is till semi-hot
Cerma Bryte for more aggressive cleaning
A blade scraper like this for stuff that doesn't want to come off any other way.

Isn't the ammonia supposed to be bad for cooktops?

Can't speak for anyone else's experience but we've been doing for 5+ years now without an issue on our top

Not as far as I know. Glass is impervious to most chemicals. Avoiding ammonia applies only to coated (optical, anti-reflective) glass because the ammonia will strip the coating.

Yeah, think that's why I was wondering, with all of the white "etching" on the top.

No, not a problem. I don't know what the lines are actually made of. But they won't disappear if you use a cleaner that contains ammonia. Heck, you can't damage those markings even with a blade scraper.

Plain old white toothpaste works wonders and is cheap.

1) Baking soda, a drop or two of Dawn and a splash of vinegar. Scrub with sponge or rag.

2) That new Dawn Platinum Powerwash spray works well too. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray

Cleanup with warm damp rag. I use #1 for really stuck on stuff and it hasn't hurt my glass top yet.

i think the lines are simply just burnt in glass with some color in it.

And anyway 5 years is about the expected lifespan for a glass cooktop.

Huh?

I’ve had mine for 18 years and it’s still doing fine.

uhh? Mine is 20+ years old and looks new

 

[Corradobrit1]

For stubborn burnt on stains I have to use a SS scourer with a little ceramic clearing liquid. The Schott glass seems to handle the abuse very well

Alrighty, then!

Not induction, let alone dynamic surface heating, rest assured.

I can imagine a whole clickbaity article written about this...

Podzap has one weird trick that will change your life. Dentists hate him!

 

[msk]

I've honestly just always let the cooktop soak for a bit with warm water and dish soap, then dry with a towel. Maybe another soak and dry if things got real messy and cooked on. Anything left after that point usually only requires some light scrubbing with a towel.

That's not white, though, so it won't work, according to Podzap

 

[podzap]

It's not even uncommon knowledge to use toothpaste for cleaning glass. Almost 1.5 million hits in google.
