2. Gently rub the paste on the stove with a soft cloth or sponge.
Using a soft cloth or sponge will ensure that the delicate glass surface of the cooker is not scratched or damaged during the cleaning process. Additionally, a gentle scrubbing motion will help remove stubborn stains and dirt without applying excessive pressure. Research has shown that using abrasive materials or aggressive scrubbing techniques can cause permanent damage to the glass surface. Therefore, it is important to follow this step carefully to restore the cooker to its original shine without compromising its integrity.
3. Let the paste sit on the surface for a few minutes to loosen dirt.
Leaving the paste on for a few minutes will soften and loosen stubborn dirt, making it easier to remove. Research suggests that the ability of detergents to break down grease and dirt is improved when detergents have this “residence time.” For example, a study published in the Journal of Environmental Health found that cleaning performance improved significantly when a detergent was left on a surface for five minutes. Additionally, this technique is recommended by professional cleaners who emphasize the importance of patience in removing stubborn dirt from glass stove surfaces. By following this tip, you can ensure that the paste effectively fights dirt and keeps your cooktop looking like new.
4. Wipe off the paste with a clean cloth or paper towel.
After applying the recommended cleaning paste to the glass heating plate, wipe it with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any residue, grease or dirt. This step is crucial to restoring the appearance of the oven and preventing possible damage from chemicals or abrasive materials. Additionally, using a clean cloth or paper towel will help prevent streaks or stains on the glass, resulting in a shiny, polished cooktop.
5. For stubborn stains, use a stovetop glass cleaner and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
