When I moved into my house, I saw the stove and immediately said, “Oh you so fancy, huh?” It has a glass cook top and that thing look liked something out of the future to me. I had only ever had a gas stove with burners, none of this hot glass circle stuff. The previous tenant thoughtfully left a STICKER on the wall just above the stove with the cleaning instructions. It directed the user to use some ambiguous cleaning solution that reminded me of lotion and a scraper. I wasn’t into it. I looked around and found this alternative. Trust me, I needed a solution.
Yeah it’s bad. No one ever seems to want to clean up after themselves here. Aside from that, the stove is always super hot for a little while after you are done cooking. Quickly wiping up your messes isn’t really an option if you want your skin intact. I had everything at home for this pin already (dish cloth, hot water, soap, vinegar, and baking soda). Pretty much everyone has those things. Easy peasy. Here is an action shot.
What’s the funniest is that while these things were doing their thing, I was sitting on the couch watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory all the while I considered myself to be cleaning. So this one is for you, lazy people out there.
For some reason, my final picture is missing, but it came out nice and shiny and clean! We cooked on it and there were no fumes or smoke. This was a definite success.
