Non-Toxic Glass Stove Top Cleaner

This DIY Non-Toxic Glass Stove Top Cleaner is simply 3 ingredients that you most likely have sitting around in your house. Best news is that you won’t have to smell any nasty, toxic fumes while cleaning. And it works great to leave your stop top sparkling!

A few week ago I went to clean my glass stove top and decided to snap a few pictures and document the super exciting process for you. I know it’s what you’re looking forward to tackling this weekend: a little elbow grease over the stop top. Whoop!

We live on the wild side, right?

Or maybe not. 🙂

I have a secret ingredient in my home that helps me out with a lot of cleaning chores. You may be able to guess what it is if you have read my Do-it-yourself Soft Scrub post. That stuff is awesome for cleaning my white ceramic sink and my bathroom! Seriously, I would be lost without my toxin-free soft scrub.

So, my glass stove top gets nasty very quickly. Anytime I’m boiling chicken or boiling potatoes for mashed potatoes, the water spills over and cooks onto the stovetop. Not pretty!

I have a quick little concoction that I throw together that helps me clean up the stubborn mess. It’s not perfect. I sometimes will have to get out my razor blade and scrape off the really stuck-on mess, but usually, this mixture does the trick!

This is going to be a really hard recipe. 🤪 Are you ready with a pencil and paper to write it down? Ok great. Here goes.

How to Clean Your Glass Stove Top (Step-by-Step)

Got 10 minutes and a bit of elbow grease? Follow these simple steps for a sparkling stove top!

Step 1: Cool Down and Prep

Turn off your stove (obviously!) and wait until the surface is completely cool. Remove any loose crumbs or debris with a damp cloth or vacuum hose.

Step 2: Apply Cleaner

Apply your non-toxic cleaner directly onto the surface, covering the stained or greasy areas. Don’t skimp! If you’re dealing with tough, burnt-on food, spray generously and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to loosen things up.

Step 3: Gently Scrub

For stubborn spots, use a soft, non-abrasive sponge or a microfiber cloth in circular motions. Avoid scrubbing pads that can scratch the glass. Bonus tip? Keep an old toothbrush handy for cleaning the edges and tiny crevices around the burners.

Step 4: Wipe it All Away

Once you’re satisfied (and the stains are banished!), wipe everything down with a damp microfiber cloth to remove the cleaner and residue.

Step 5: Buff to Shine

Use a dry microfiber cloth to polish the surface until it’s shiny and streak-free. That’s it—you’re done! Step back and admire your work!

DIY Glass Stove Top Cleaner

You only need a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen! Here’s my easy recipe for a cooktop cleaner you’ll love.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tablespoons baking soda
• 10-15 drops of Citrus Fresh essential oil (I only use high-quality essential oils and get mine here.)
• 1-2 Tablespoons water
• White Vinegar in a spray bottle

Directions:

1. Mix baking soda and a little water at a time in a glass jar until it reaches a paste-like consistency. Add your essential oil drops and stir well.
2. Scoop a little bit of the mixture onto the glass cooktop and work into any stains or greasy spots.
3. Spray the vinegar solution generously over the baking soda and watch the magic fizz happen.
4. Massage the mixture into the stains with a soft cloth and see the spots lift and wipe away!

This solution is tough on grime, safe for glass surfaces, and 100% eco-friendly! Boom! Easy peasy, right?

The benefit of the Citrus Fresh essential oil is that is a natural degreaser, not to mention it smells fabulous!

Sprinkle baking soda mixture over the glass stovetop, making sure it covers any cooked on stains.

Depending on how bad the stains are, I’ll spray some white vinegar on top of the baking soda and leave it for about 15 minutes on the cooktop surface.

Scrub the cleaning product mixture into the stove top with a non-abrasive cleaning pad and watch those stains disappear!

I’ll be honest, that in the after picture you can still see a ring around the top left eye. But, it’s much better than the before pic, which is hard to portray in photos sometimes. But in person it was light years better. Also, like I mentioned before, use a razor scraper if the stains are especially cooked on.

That’s it!

Enjoy your new sparkling, clean glass stove top!
