POLL: What do you use to clean the stove window??

paper towel between weekly cleaning if it needs it, then windex, etc on Saturday's weekly...

Windex with paper towels always works for me once a week.

When the stove is off for my weekly cleaning I use the magic eraser,but between cleanings when the stove is running just a dry paper towel.

I clean the glass with the ceramic cooktop cleaner I use on the electric range.
Glass stays clean longer than anything else I have tried yet.

I use yesterday's sports section from the Cleveland newspaper.

That's about all it's good for. Plus it's already wet from wiping away the tears from losing yet another game.

As an added bonus, the supply is endless !

Brush off the ash with a cut down chip brush (stiff bristles) - removes 95%

Clean whatever is left with paper towels and windex or stove cleaner (whatever I can find faster)

Second paper towel shines up the front of the stove (happy better half)

"Rutland" Glass cleaner for wood burning stoves. very easy to use and leaves a silicon film on glass preventing buildup. Found it at HD $8.00

Dry paper towel daily, wet paper towel with ashes for my weekly cleaning. Found paper towels at work free. Found ashes in the stove free.

WHUT??????????????

Paper towel and slight water every couple days, when burning a lot. Magic Eraser once a week if needed for that weird stain thing. It works great for that.

Dry rag when it's running (which is most of the time in heating season),
and same as the user above: the “Rutland” Glass cleaner during down time/cleaning.

Wet paper towel for a quick clean. Rag or paper towel and Windex glass cleaner when there's a litle build-up. Elbow grease, Windex and rag a few times including end of season.

This is a really interesting survey. I'm going to try a couple of the other ideas here after I get some stain build-up.

Rutland glass cleaner. On vacation in NH I found some at a store and snapped it up. It keep the glass cleaner longer too. You can get this on line, just that the shipping equals the bottle. So you need to get 3 or more.

just bought the magic eraser after reading here that it was great to use..... my experience so far with it is that it takes the stuff off but leaves behind a light smokey colored film which I still have to take off with damp piece of paper towel then finish up with a dry piece. ...............My ash is normally never stuck hard to the glass so I think I will skip the step of using the Magic Eraser from now on (unless I have some hard to get off gunk - which I haven't had to this point) and go back to ...........Windex glass cleaner on glass wiped off by paper towel first then followed up by a dry piece of paper towel. Tissue works great for this too. (We love the look of the flame though our stove's large bay window ......I guess I'm too fussy with it! ) ........ cc :lol:

You might want to use those browns' jerseys, that don't seem to be good for much else, either. Of course, that QB's jersey is pretty dirty already.

OK, i always used Paper Towel and the stuff pictured below,works fine but have to do double application on 1 weeks worth of creasote. Decided today after 3 days burn to try the Magic eraser(Mr.Clean Brand) Holy cow,dissapeared with 1 swipe of warm water soaked sponge, WOW! also can,t wait to try it on a week Dirty stove glass, but for now, i'm pretty darn impressed.Will follow up after dirty stove............

I'm a magic eraser kind of guy.......

What happened to the guy with the Bob Ross Avitar? He had a funny response to this. One of the funniest threads I ever read. Quickly sent to the ash tray though.

I use a cook top cleaner and a rag. Some times I will use ash to scrub it down before using the cleaner.

So far I'm giving it a quick wipe with a wet paper towel when I open it up to take out the ash every morning. It's new... maybe I'll back off after a few weeks then I'll have to try something else.

+1 I think I bought my bottle at walmart many years ago. I use windex and the rutland and it wipes off no rubbing.
