Cleaning Whirlpool Gold Cook Top
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? |
I clean mine with Weiman glass cook top. Purchased it at Walgreens. Works good.

Yes, you need a cleaner made especially for glass cook tops. I also keep a single sided razor blade next to my stove to scrape up any thicker spills before using the cleaner.

I use carnauba stove top clearer. It shines up the stove like new. It's about $4 at Walmart

Thanks for the replies! Lanabanana: my sister said she cleans hers with a razor blade but her smooth top is about 15 years old...so I thought it wouldn't apply to a newer one. Guess I was wrong (but not about to tell her she was right--hahahaha!).
|
Sorry for going off topic but does anybody have an issue with how long it takes to pre heat the oven? Our 1 year old Whirlpool Gold oven takes forever to heat up... :-(
|
That's one of the drawbacks of the "hidden" heat element.

I have had good glass top cook tops for years now and I always use a brillo pad.
I know you think it will scratch or take off the markings. It doesn't. It is the only thing that will take off the residues that high heat and food leave. I cook a LOT. I scrub hard and sometimes have to do it twice or three times and wipe it off with a clean damp cloth that has been dipped into a solution of dishwashing soap, the liquid kind. Then I dry it with a clean cloth. Looks like new every time. Try it on a tiny corner. I know that everyone is hesitant when I tell them this. But DON'T ever use a brillo pad on your stainless steel or on granite. Don't use oven cleaner on your glass top. See the fifth paragraph down. Now that I have told you what I do, I am terrified it will hurt your new stove. http://brillo.com/household-helpers_details.asp?tab=0 I JUST cleaned mine just before I read this. |
Must have taken courage to try it the first time, Gracie. I know brillo pads will ruin stainless steel.

Ceramic top cleaners specifically formulated for glass tops work and also Barkeepers Friend. I, too, use a razor blade to scrape off stubborn burned on residue.
