Cleaning a glass stovetop can sometimes feel like a chore, but with just two simple ingredients, you can make the process much quicker and more effective. Here’s how you can <strong>effortlessly clean your glass stovetop in minutes</strong> using <strong>baking soda</strong> and <strong>vinegar</strong>.
<h3>Ingredients:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Baking Soda</strong>: A gentle abrasive that helps to lift grease, stains, and grime.</li>
<li><strong>Vinegar</strong>: A natural acid that helps to break down tough residues, grease, and stains.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Steps:</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Sprinkle Baking Soda</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Ensure your stovetop is turned off and cool to the touch.</li>
<li>Sprinkle <strong>baking soda</strong> evenly over the glass stovetop, focusing on any spots or stains. A thin, even layer works best.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Spray with Vinegar</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Pour <strong>white vinegar</strong> into a spray bottle.</li>
<li>Lightly spray the vinegar over the baking soda on the stovetop. The vinegar will fizz and bubble when it reacts with the baking soda, which helps to loosen any grease or stuck-on food.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Let It Sit</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Let the mixture sit for about <strong>5 minutes</strong>. This will allow the baking soda and vinegar to work their magic, breaking down tough stains and grease.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Scrub</strong>:</li>

<li>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>Use a <strong>soft sponge</strong> or <strong>microfiber cloth</strong> to gently scrub the stovetop. Focus on areas with built-up grime or stains. You’ll notice that the baking soda provides a bit of abrasiveness to help lift the residue without scratching the glass.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Wipe Clean</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Once you’ve scrubbed the entire surface, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe away the baking soda and vinegar mixture.</li>
<li>You might need to wipe it down a couple of times to ensure all the residue is removed and the stovetop is streak-free.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Buff the Surface</strong>:
<ul>
<li>For extra shine, buff the surface with a dry microfiber cloth to give it that glossy, sparkling finish.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why This Works:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Baking Soda</strong> is mildly abrasive and effective at lifting food particles, grease, and stains without scratching the glass surface.</li>
<li><strong>Vinegar</strong> acts as a natural degreaser and helps to dissolve stubborn stains, grime, and mineral deposits.</li>
</ul>
This method is safe, effective, and uses only two common ingredients that you likely already have at home! It will leave your glass stovetop sparkling clean in no time.</li>
