Glass Cleaning

[xman23]

My wife blackened the glass last night. I have been using Fireview glass cleaner from spray 9 for years. They reformulated it a few years ago. It still works but not as good as it did.

Any one use another commercial cleaner you like?

Typically I only get blackened glass if a split rolls up against the glass . . . although I get some fly ash covering the glass making it not as crystal clear. Usually, some wet paper towels or newspaper will suffice to clean it.

If that fails I dip the paper towel/newspaper in a bit of the fine ash to clean it . . . another alternative for me is to simply wait it out as a subsequent secondary burn (I realize your stove may not have secondary burns) will burn most of it off.

Seems like most use the Rutland brand glass cleaner. I used it once but actually prefer Jake's method, except I use a damp microfiber cloth dipped in the white ash. The Rutland stuff seemed to smear a little, but it does work.

Paper towels and vinegar. I'll break out the scrubbing pad that's safe for ceramic cooktops, if needed.

I slightly dampened a paper towel and dip in fine ash - cleans up perfect.

Oven easy off. New razor blade to take off any stubborn bits.

Dampened paper towel and some fine ash to get the tough areas clean. I never use a commercial cleaner....

I use a damp paper towel dipped in the ash, if that doesn't remove it I use this: http://www.harborfreight.com/14-inch-floor-scraper-93292.html

I second that!

Been using Easy Off since I got my stove. Have used ash in a pinch and it works well I use it sparingly because I'm worried I'm going to pick up sand and grit that will scratch the glass.

I third that!

I used to have newspapers to dip in the ash, that was one good use for them as it didn't leave lint behind.
