<p>Bought one in White. Looks beautiful, but it got yellowish/black spots each time we cook on it. So we used the one 4 oz bottle cleaner came with the stove to clean, fine. But how to keep it up cheaply? I bought some cleaner, it costs about $6/bottle and we use a lot of it.</p>
<p>We were told to try Windex, it does work to an extend, but cannot remove the black spots.</p>
<p>I use Weimans, but my stove has a black top. The directions are clear that you use a small amount and rub it on. I ordered it from Amazon.</p>

Haha.</p>
<p>My cleaning woman uses a razor blade. She gets the ones that are in the plastic case. Sears has a pretty fair price on the Weiman stuff too.</p>
<p>Posts 3 and 4, you are in the Parent Cafe where all kinds of things are discussed.</p>
<p>I have a white glass cooktop and was so worried I wouldn’t be able to keep it clean cheaply because I am such a messy cook. I have had it about five years now and have been pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to keep clean. Makes me wish I had bought it much sooner!</p>
<p>My most frequent spill is water when I am cooking/ stirring pasta. It gets brown and black. I always wipe up as much as I can with just a wet dishrag. Next I take a VERY small amount of the white Cerama Brite Cleaner and scrub with the little yellow pad that goes with it. Then I wipe it off with a paper towel. </p>
<p>I am a real “cheapie,” but find that the stuff lasts so long it really doesn’t amount to much. I think the tiny sample bottle that came with the stove lasted more than a year. I think I have refilled it twice.</p>
<p>@Eggbert- Actually, in the parent cafe this information is just fine. If you want other to see other types of threads there are other forums within CC.</p>
<p>My stove has a black top, but I have had great luck with using the Mr. Clean eraser. It doesn’t even require that much elbow grease.</p>
<p>Eggbert, There’s a menopause thread you might enjoy :-).</p>
<p>I used to buy the expensive cleaner for my glass cook top but, once when I was out, I decided to try some Soft Scrub cleanser and it worked great so I’ve continued using it and it keeps the stove top looking new. For particularly tough spots, I also use a nylon pot scrubber along with the cleanser. When I don’t need heavy cleaning of the cook top, I just spray some kitchen bleach cleaner on there and wipe it down.</p>
<p>Cerama Brite Cleaner and plastic pot scrubber for the tough spots, and Windex for regular grease and things that don’t burn on. For really tough burned on spots,like egg, a plastic knife works well.
My bottle of cleaner has lasted for two years. A little goes a long way.
I’m glad to know about the soft scrub- I may try it. And I never would have thought of the Mr. Clean eraser!</p>
<p>Just today I read that a combination of vinegar and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or the generic version) will work quite well on this kind of stove top. Good luck!</p>
<p>We have a black one and use a razor and some sort of polish?</p>
