Ceramic cooktops bring a modern and elegant touch to the kitchen. Their smooth, glossy surface enhances the space, but requires regular and careful maintenance. Between splashes, ingrained stains, and the risk of scratches, it’s essential to adopt the right habits to preserve their shine without damaging them.
Here’s a practical guide to keeping your cooktop spotless, shiny, and scratch-free every day.
Mistakes to absolutely avoid
Before you get out your cleaning products, a few precautions are essential. Some actions, however well-intentioned, can irreversibly damage your cooktop.
Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring products.
Ceramic glass is particularly susceptible to scratches.
Avoid metal scourers, traditional scrapers, and abrasive powders.
Opt instead for soft cloths, non-abrasive pads, and cleaners specifically formulated for ceramic glass cooktops.
Clean while the cooktop is still hot.
Cleaning a hot cooktop can cause burns and set stains even more.
Always wait until the surface has completely cooled before cleaning.
Postpone cleaning.
The longer a stain remains, the more ingrained it becomes. Light cleaning after each use prevents long and tedious cleanings, while also extending the life of your cooktop.
Daily routine for a spotless cooktop.
A little cleaning after each meal is often enough to maintain the shine and cleanliness of your cooktop.
