Get Your Glass Stovetop Sparkling Clean With One Affordable, Highly-Rated Product

Have you ever walked into someone's home with a gleaming, spot-free kitchen and wondered, "do they even cook in here?" The fact is, the more you cook, the messier your kitchen surfaces can become. It's virtually impossible to cook a large meal without making a complete mess — especially on your stovetop. Spilled ingredients and splattered grease, oil, and sauce abound, and if they aren't cleaned immediately, will caramelize and burn, making them even trickier to remove. When it comes to cleaning your glass top stove, you need an extremely powerful, yet extremely gentle cleaner, which is not an easy combination to find. Being glass, you also need something that will leave a streak-free shine, unless you want to shell out money for multiple cleaning products. 

Bar Keepers Friend Cooktop Cleaner is highly rated for its cleaning power, yet it won't harm glass or ceramic stovetops. It also leaves a lovely shine, without dulling your stovetop's finish. The product has 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 2,700 reviews, and the brand is also recommended by the editorial teams at HGTV Magazine and The New York Times. Better yet, you can purchase a bottle at Home Depot for only $3.49. It's a must-have cleaning item for every kitchen.  

Using Bar Keepers Friend Cooktop Cleaner is incredibly simple: Pour the cleaner directly onto a wet stovetop or onto a damp sponge and rub gently. Let it sit for one minute, then rinse and wipe dry (customers suggest using a microfiber cloth like Amazon Basics microfiber cleaning cloths for the perfect streak-free finish). The Bar Keepers Friend Cooktop Cleaner Kit comes with a dual-sided sponge and scraper, but you can use any soft sponge and/or cloth you have on-hand. The manufacturer warns that you shouldn't leave the cleaner on your stovetop for more than a minute, you shouldn't mix it with other cleaning supplies, and you should wear gloves when using (wash immediately if it gets on your skin). 

This cooktop cleaner is safe for use on induction cooktops, glass or ceramic stovetops, metal cookware, and ceramic dinnerware (it is not for use on marble or granite countertops). Customers report it is helpful in bathrooms (one even said it cleans the rings inside her toilet bowl), and works wonders when cleaning a glass oven door. The brand offers a selection of cleaning products to use throughout the home, including the original Bar Keepers Friend powder cleaner, which has been a cleaning favorite of home owners since 1882 (the powder cleaner is great for cleaning stainless steel, however it is mildly abrasive and should not be used on glass stovetops).
