Some of my favorite Pinterest pins are the ones about cleaning. I found this one on how to clean a glass stove top. I have a glass stove top and I awaiting the day that I get a new oven that is not gladd top but until then I am dealing with what I have. So when I found this tip on Pinterest I thought I should try it becaue our stove has a lot of stains and stuff I have tried to get off but never could, from the previous home owners ( who also cracked the top, I want a new oven!).
It seemed simple enough. Just take 2 dish towels soaked in warm water and soap and lay them over baking powder that you sprinkled over the glass top and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then you use the wrags to wipe off the baking soda. Here is how mine looked.
I know what you are thinking, that my oven does look cleaner. And yes that is true. BUT this was supposed to help get rid of burn marks, which is totally did not. Further more this created a big mess. When I went to wipe it up and I lifted the rags, the baking soda was all balled up and it went all over my floor. It was so annoying! My husband literally looked at me and said asked why I was making such a mess. This is a totally BOGUS cleaning tip. It is time consuming, messy, and it does not do a better job than just spraying some good old 409 and wiping it down. I would NOT recommend this for anyone that has a glass top. It is lame. Just stick with what ever technique you have already.
Hi Whitney! I'm helping a friend try to fix their glass top stove. The model number is worn off but it looks like the one you have on you blog. Do you happen to know the model number of your stove. That might help us figure out what replacement parts we need to get the oven working right. Thanks!!
