How to clean stains from glass ceramic hob?
Fashion is for everything, including kitchen appliances. Everyone is accustomed to the fact that the electric stove has black round burners protruding above the surface, which are so inconvenient to wash. But now this is in the past - wonderful and completely smooth glass-ceramic plates have appeared on the market, where nothing sticks out or protrudes, just a smooth surface. It would seem that this is it - the happiness of a housewife! However, this excellent design has its drawbacks.
clean the glass ceramic hob from stainsIt is worth admitting that not every housewife wipes the surface of the stove immediately after the end of cooking. We put a frying pan with a bottom poorly washed from fat - there is a circular stain. And the spray from frying will eat up, it seems, forever. No, the fat itself, of course, is washed off, but traces of it - in no way. But everything is solved simply, and there are several simple ways to keep the glass-ceramic plate in its original cleanliness.
The first method is the easiest - when buying a stove, you should look around more carefully, and then a special cleaning agent from the same manufacturer will surely come across your eyes. It is perfectly compatible with the parameters of this product and will wash off any stain. A special scraper is required to it, which should clean off the dirt. Here it is worth noting that glass ceramics can be scratched, so you must act carefully.
These funds are sold both in household appliances stores and in hypermarkets such as "Auchan", "Globus" and the like. One of the most affordable means is "Shumanit" for glass ceramics. Preparations containing abrasive are not suitable for these surfaces, as they leave scratches, which causes the glass-ceramic plate to lose its gloss and the surface becomes dull.
Another, more expensive way is to use the Amway Oven Cleaner - a cleaning gel, very caustic (therefore gloves are required when using it), but effective. If you follow the instructions correctly, one package is enough for a long time. The method of cleaning with this tool is as follows: apply the gel in a thin layer, cover with a film for ten minutes, remove the film, wipe off the gel with a dry washcloth and rinse everything off with water.
And the third, the cheapest way to clean the glass-ceramic coating is to wet the surface for a few minutes, sprinkle regular baking soda on the contaminated area, let it soak, and then wipe the stain with a sponge. Soda easily dissolves fat, does not emit harmful substances, so you can work without gloves. After cleaning with soda, the stove will simply be washed with warm water and wiped off.
And finally, some useful tips. For a glass-ceramic stove to last longer, you should not put dishes with a dirty bottom on it, and if the stove is hot, then with a wet one - the temperature difference destroys the glass, and even the strongest may one day break down and crack.
Stains from boiling water or broth are the most persistent, so it is best to wipe them off immediately. From the first day of operation, it is worth handling the stove with care, and it will last a long time.
