A glass hob is often easily scratched and dented due to its delicate surface. This often happens when the hob is cleaned with scouring pads and cleaning agents with an abrasive effect. Fortunately, a glass hob is easy to clean. Before cleaning, make sure you have turned off the heat and removed any food residue and caked on food.
To step
Method 1 of 3: Soak baking soda and water
Buy a specialty cleaner. At hardware stores and some supermarkets, you can buy cleaners specifically for cleaning glass hobs. Some products are sold in the form of a liquid that you can pour on the stovetop, while others are sold in a spray bottle. Choose the type of product you prefer. 
Scrub the hob with soapy water once a week. Prepare the same soap mixture as described above (a bowl of warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap) and use a non-abrasive sponge to remove food residues and grease. Doing this once a week will help you keep up with the cleaning and avoid grease build-up. 
Use vinegar to remove streaks. If there are streaks and water marks on your hob after cleaning, wipe the hob with a soft cloth moistened with 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar. You can also use a regular glass cleaner.
Tips
- Consider putting on rubber cleaning gloves if your hands are sensitive to hot water and baking soda. With rubber cleaning gloves you can prevent the skin on your hands from getting dry and cracking by cleaning your hob with these products.
- To remove melted plastic and other stubborn dirt, heat the hob to the lowest possible setting and wait for the hob to heat up. Then scrape off all the dirt. A warm hob is easier to clean.
Warnings
- Never use a scouring pad or stiff brush to scrub a glass hob. These tools can scratch your hob.
