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.

    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.

      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.

      As someone who did auto detailing decades ago, razors are how you get everything off glass.

      And then triple-Zero (000) steel wool. Don’t use anything other than actual 000.

      And then there are plastic razor blades for getting stickers off paint.

      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.

      I’ve used a razor to scrape down our shower door before. If you’re not careful you can inadvertently scratch things with the corners of the blade. Ask me how I know…

        That’s a poor argument on my end, as she has often drawn blood from shaving

      Razor blades aren’t usually hard enough to scratch tempered glass in the first place, they are used professionally to clean scale on outdoor windows.
