Cleaning Stove Glass

[Joey Jones]

I have tried all the methods in a 1000 posts for cleaning stove glass...and what works best is a single edge blade in a holder. And those new blades are only good for 4 0r 5 cleanings, then they must be replaced with a new blade....any residue can be cleaned with GoJo and a paper towel and some windex on a rag. The razor treatment requires a lot less elbow grease than any other method....Forget the steel wool and the other suggested methods...Go for the single edge blade in a holder and then maybe some Gojo and windex....Most of that stove glass is pyro-ceramIII and doesn't warrant easy care...It is usually a $60 replacement fee, so don't waste your time. Plus a single crack is no reason to stop running your stove as normal...Just run your stove normally until the replacement arrives. When my stove glass breaks because of scraping with a razor I will be the first to announce it on this forum

I'll stick to HOT water and vinegar. Cleans things up very easily.

Dead on Cozy; what was I thinking.....

I find that a good hot fire with good dry wood is best for cleaning stove glass. Its the not so hot fires and damp wood that makes the glass dirty to begin with. Kind of the same as the inside of your chimney. Hot fire dry wood keeps your chimney clean, and damp wood builds up creosote.

I also used the razor and elbow grease and it worked. But it takes awhile.

Yesterday I got some Rutland glass cleaner ($5.00 at Home Depot) and was very pleased -- it really dissolved the crud and cleaned up with a couple of paper towels. The stuff I got at the stove shop (Speedy White) was twice the price and absolutely worthless.
