Do you have a ceramic cooktop? When was the last time you really cleaned it – I mean more than just wiping off the top after cooking to remove anything sticky? Today, I am showing you how to clean a ceramic cooktop in 3 easy steps (and how to keep it clean).

I enjoy cooking. I especially enjoy eating a delicious meal I just prepared. I do not enjoy cleaning my ceramic stovetop after I have cooked.  Food always spills or boils over on to the stove when I am cooking. It just gets messy. Then the spills seem to become a permanent part of my stove. I decided it was time to clean my ceramic stovetop and here’s how I did it.

Use your elbow grease. Add some baking soda, if needed.

After you have scrubbed hard for about 10 minutes if your stovetop is still not clean, you can try adding baking soda. I sprinkled a good amount of baking soda on my stovetop and added a little warm water to make a paste. Then I scrubbed lightly and let it set for about 30 minutes.

If your burned areas are extra challenging to remove, you can use a nylon scraper to help your remove any tough to remove material.

 

After cleaning ceramic stovetop

After 30 minutes, do a test area and see if the burned material will come clean.  If it does come clean, finish cleaning the stovetop by wiping it clean your e-cloth general cleaning cloth.  If some burned material is still sticking, use your E-cloth Non-scratch pad and Universal Stone (a non-scratch cleanser from E-cloth) to help you remove any remaining burns.

You rub the Universal Stone one your stovetop, and let it sit for a few minutes or an hour or two to allow it time to break down the burns. Then you just wipe your stovetop clean.
