Cleaning a glass cooktop can often seem like a daunting task. Its shiny surface reveals every speck of dust, every drop of spilled liquid and every particle of stubborn burnt food. Despite its sleek appearance, a glass cooktop can be difficult to clean.
Many people make common mistakes when cleaning this delicate surface, often causing more harm than good. Still, with the right approach, you can keep your griddle sparkling clean effortlessly. Here are the most common mistakes and a simple trick to clean your glass cooktop in a snap.

Common mistakes when cleaning a glass cooktop:
1. Use abrasive cleaners or pads
. One of the most common mistakes is using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. While it may be tempting to use a steel wool pad or harsh cleaner to scrub stubborn stains, these can easily scratch the glass surface. These scratches not only dull the look of your cooktop, but can also weaken the glass over time, making it more susceptible to cracking.
2. Clean when the surface is hot
. Another common mistake is trying to clean the hob while it’s still hot. Many believe that it is easier to wipe away spills and splatters if the surface is hot, but this can actually further encrust stains into the glass. Additionally, using a damp cloth or cleaner on a hot surface can cause steam, which can leave streaks or water stains.
3. Using too much liquid cleaner
