Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.

Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.

I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.

Best it has looked in 5 years.

P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.

    Just want to say, when Sebulba crashes at the end of the pod race in Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, he says “poodoo,” just like your stove.

      My wife would probably divorce me if she caught me using a razor on it, even though I know they work well.

      In her head razors cut things and make slices, and she doesn’t grasp the inclined flat blade skimming over top can’t do a slicing action.

        I would hope she is aware of the existence of shaving blades which are the exact same things except glass is far stronger than skin.

          I have found it is not worth the friction 😀. She also has a way she wants the dishwasher loaded, even though I can run Computational Fluid Dynamics software at home, and show her why another (my) method is probably better.

        My old stove came with a razor scraper for cleaning. I bet the manual for yours recommends using one. Maybe show her the manual. I wouldn’t have been able to clean it thoroughly without the razor.

    i don’t remember which soap or cleaning podcast that i was listening to that said that out of the common household cleaners dishwasher liquid is one that has the highest percentage surfactant per gram or whatever. neat testimonial.
