Cleaning glass ceramic hob

Garetha

Don't get too concerned about scratching a ceramic hob.
I've been using metal scourer for years :eek:
It works - honestly!

But I will try a microfibre cloth - thanks

Try rubbing woodburner glass with a damp cloth (old flannel is best!) dipped in the wood ash. It's free and it works brilliantly.

Can anyone help me? The scratch on my ceramic hob is not big but it is deeper than just surface marking. I may have done it accidentally with my ring. Is there any way of repairing it and will it affect the operation of the hob? The scratch is actually on the ring.

Ceramic hobs are tough!
Don't worry too much
- we sometimes use a metal scourer :eek: if it needs a tough clean
- and it still looks OK

Yeah I've used brillos on mine.

I use the hob scraper with the stanley blade & the fairy power spray.

Hi I have managed to melt some plastic onto my glass ceramic hob. I need to clean it off dont know the best method. The instructions book says use a scraper, but what kind of scraper can be used. I'm nervous of scratching the surface, as I live in a rented flat.
Thank you

The standard cleaning tool is a flat bladed scraper
like this: http://www.transtools.co.uk/store/prod_8605/painting-and-decorating/scrapers-and-scissors/silverline-heavy-duty-scraper-100mm-blades-10-pack.html

You'll be able to get one from any hardware shop - or even Poundland!
The blade is very sharp and could scratch if you don't keep it level.
But it's very easy to use and doesn't tilt in normal use.

Hi All,

This is my first time in the OS boards so be nice

Moved into our house last year and got a new kitchen fitted. We got one of the smart looking glass top hobs. Only problem is theres loads of ring marks on them now and i've also been a bit slack in cleaning it and some food has burnt on. What is the best thing for cleaning this?

I saw a 'scraper' on Kleeneze but its a razor blade :eek: Surely I wouldnt want to put that on top of my glass hob would I?


Any advice welcome

Hi gaz-jones, I clean mine with a scraper that came with the cooker. It lifts the burnt on stuff and doesn't scratch. Just take it gently. You can also buy some cleanser called Hobbrite (I think), it comes in an orange bottle. It's pretty good but hot soapy water and the scrapper are just fine.

I've been cleaning mine with Bar-Keeper's Friend -powder that you rub on with a damp cloth, rinse off, works a treat!

Thanks very much for the replies

4moneysaver, the scraper you got given with the hob, does it have a blade on or just a plastic scraper? I have heard of that 'hobbrite' before so think I might give that a go.

Ballymackeonan, Can you recommend anywhere to get 'bar keepers friend' from?
