How to Clean a Tempered Glass Gas Cooktop Without Damaging the Surface?

A sleek tempered glass gas cooktop elevates any kitchen’s aesthetics, but its glossy surface can quickly lose its luster without proper care. Spills, grease splatters, and heat marks are inevitable—yet cleaning this delicate material requires more than elbow grease. As a manufacturer with a decade of expertise in premium kitchen appliances, ShengZhou GeXiang Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. shares science-backed methods to maintain your cooktop’s brilliance while avoiding costly scratches or cracks.
Start with the Right Tools
Tempered glass is durable but vulnerable to abrasive materials. Avoid steel wool, harsh scrubbing pads, or acidic cleaners like vinegar, which can etch the surface. Instead, opt for microfiber cloths, soft sponges, and pH-neutral cleaning solutions. ShengZhou GeXiang’s cooktops are coated with an anti-scratch layer during production, but using manufacturer-recommended tools ensures longevity. For stubborn residues, our R&D team suggests a DIY paste of baking soda and water (3:1 ratio)—a gentle abrasive that lifts grime without compromising the glass’s integrity.
Daily Cleaning Rituals
Prevent buildup by wiping the cooktop after each use while it’s still warm (not hot). Heat loosens grease, making it easier to remove. Spray a specialized glass cooktop cleaner (avoid aerosol formulas) and let it sit for 1-2 minutes. Gently scrub in circular motions, then rinse with a damp cloth. For ShengZhou GeXiang models, which feature reinforced edges to resist chipping, this routine maintains the hydrophobic coating that repels stains.
Tackling Burnt-On Stains
Charred food or hardened sugar requires patience. Turn off burners and let the surface cool completely. Apply a thick layer of the baking soda paste directly onto the stain, cover it with a damp cloth, and wait 15-20 minutes. The paste absorbs residue while softening it. Wipe gently, repeating if necessary. For tougher spots, use a plastic scraper at a 45-degree angle—never metal blades, which can scratch. ShengZhou GeXiang’s tempered glass undergoes thermal shock resistance testing, but sudden temperature changes (like cold water on a hot stain) should still be avoided to prevent micro-fractures.
Protecting the Ignition System
Gas burners demand extra caution. Lift grates and burner caps to clean underneath, but avoid submerging them in water. Wipe with a soapy cloth, dry thoroughly, and ensure no moisture enters the ignition ports. ShengZhou GeXiang’s cooktops feature sealed burner bases to prevent liquid ingress, a design refinement that simplifies maintenance while reducing corrosion risks.
Monthly Deep Cleaning
Even with daily care, mineral deposits from water or cookware can cloud the surface. Once a month, use a commercial glass cooktop polish to restore shine. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean cloth and buff in straight lines (circular motions may leave swirl marks). Our cooktops’ nano-coated surfaces require less polish than conventional models, thanks to stain-resistant treatments developed in our Shaoxing labs.
What Not to Do
Skip heavy pots: Dropping cast-iron pans can chip edges.
Ignore spills: Sugary substances caramelize under heat, bonding to glass.
Use oven cleaners: Their chemicals can degrade anti-reflective coatings.
Why Trust ShengZhou GeXiang’s Expertise?
Since 2014, our 36,000㎡ facility has engineered kitchen appliances that balance beauty and resilience. Every tempered glass gas cooktop undergoes 12 quality tests, including scratch resistance trials and thermal cycling assessments. We also offer OEM/ODM customization, allowing clients to specify glass thickness (4-8mm), burner layouts, or even integrated cleaning reminder sensors.
Beyond manufacturing, we advocate for sustainable care—90% of stains can be managed with non-toxic solutions, reducing chemical waste.
