Pardon my cleaning ignorance...but I've had a gas cooktop my whole life.

I'm a snowflake and just cooked for the first time this past week in our new home. We have Whirlpool Gold appliances.

I cannot get the cooktop surface clean! Used a sponge with dishwashing liquid...upgraded to a nylon scrubbie sponge when that didn't work. Tried Windex. Tried a Clorox wipe.

What's the deal? Do you have to buy special cleaner?
