Nothing Quick About Cooktop Cleaning Cream for Smooth Top Ranges Cleaner
This product may in fact be too gentle. So perhaps adding a little acid would shorten stovetop cleaning times.
Requires Lots of Elbow Grease
We’ve found this polish and stovetop cleaner to be pretty ineffective at quickly removing burned on ground beef grease. So for those messes, we had to scrub many times over a week or more; once after each burner use where the mess was. The repeated heating and cooling of subsequent uses seems to work better thsnthis cleaner. Scrubbing as part of the daily kitchen cleanup erodes these stains away completely, over time.
How to Clean Your Smooth Glass or Ceramic Top Range with Cooktop Cleaning Cream for Smooth Top Ranges
Start with a cool stove top. Allow at least a half-hour after last use before cleaning, to minimize chances of burns.
Next, use a metal spatula or other scraping blade to remove bulk, crusted on debris.
Then, shake well the bottle of Cooktop Cleaning Cream.
Next, apply liberally to dirtiest parts of surface.
Then, rub vigorously with a soft dish cloth.
Continue rubbing until dirt resistance on the glass disappears and the scrubbing operation becomes virtually silent. Listen to the scrubbing sounds, to tell when the grime has gone. Listen, because it may be hard to see through the cleaning cream layer just applied.
Once you’re confident that the stove top is clean, rinse with fresh water.
