How to Clean a Stubborn Cooktop

Glass ceramic cooktops are smooth and free from burners and drip pans where grease and spills can accumulate. When food spills occur, they can burn onto the cooktop and cause a stubborn mess. If basic cleaning with ceramic cooktop cream and a cloth won't remove tough buildup, you can scrape it off. With the right products and technique, you can clean and polish a stubborn cooktop to restore its appearance and performance.
