How Do You Clean a Whirlpool Glass Top?
The best way to keep your cooktop clean is to prevent any food build-up from occurring. We recommend performing a basic, quick cleaning after each use.
The first step is to gather the cleaning supplies necessary to care for your glass range. One of the best supplies for cleaning your appliances is white vinegar. Some people dilute white vinegar with water and put it in a spray bottle to clean a Whirlpool glass cooktop.
You’ll also need a soft hand towel or microfiber cloth. If your cooktop has spilled food or mild burned-on stains, grab a container of baking soda, which acts as a gentle abrasive.
Whatever you do, don’t opt for scrubby sponges that will scratch the top of your range. Your glass range is susceptible to scratching.
To Clean Whirlpool Glass Cooktop:
- Wait for the glass top to cool – Never clean the top of your glass range when it is still hot. Wait for it to cool completely to avoid burning yourself or your supplies.
- Spray with vinegar – Next, spray the white vinegar on the glass range, encompassing the whole area.
- Clean spills or burned-on stains – If you accidentally spilled a bit of food or have other burned-on stains, sprinkle some baking soda over the range top. Allow the baking soda and vinegar to sit briefly. After a moment or two, you will see the solution start to de-grime the top of your appliance.
- Wipe clean – Using your soft cloth, wipe the vinegar solution off the glass top in a circular motion. If baking soda was used on a stained area, adding a little pressure during this step will help scrub off the burned-on bits.
- Rinse and dry – Clean the glass with one final layer of white vinegar. Give the glass top one final wipe-down to reveal a clean, debris-free glass top. This final spritz of vinegar can help kill any bad odors that could be lingering on your cooktop and also eliminate grease.
