Using Too Much Liquid Cleaner
Glass stove tops require only a small amount of cleaner. Using too much liquid can lead to residue build-up, which dulls the surface and creates a sticky layer that attracts more dirt. Excessive liquid can also seep into the stove’s seams, potentially causing damage to the internal components.
Neglecting Regular Maintenance
Many people wait until their glass stove top is visibly dirty before cleaning it. Unfortunately, by that time, food particles and stains may have hardened, making them much more difficult to remove. Neglecting regular cleaning not only makes the task harder but also increases the risk of permanent staining or damage.
