Chips fall wherever you plane – this also applies to cooking. No matter how much attention you pay, contamination of the hob cannot be avoided, so you are forced to clean it. The good news: Burnt food residue can easily be removed from a glass ceramic hob using existing home remedies.
Cleaning glass-ceramic hobs: general advice
During frying, splashes of fat decorate the stove or something falls next to the pans. As beautiful and practical as glass ceramic is, even the smallest impurities are noticeable. To be able to clean your hob again as quickly and easily as possible, you should not only rely on tried and tested home remedies for acute contamination, 
but clean and maintain the cooking area regularly.
To do this, clean the glass ceramic or induction hob with a damp cloth every day, before and after cooking. Keep in mind that dirt is easier to remove when the hobs are still hot. To avoid stubborn burns, you should use a ceramic stovetop scraper with a sharp blade. Unlike other tools, you can use the scraper to avoid unsightly scratches on your hob.
Suggestion: If possible, avoid cleaning exclusively with detergent, otherwise limescale residues could form on the glass-ceramic plate.
Cleaning glass-ceramic hobs: 5 proven home remedies against stubborn dirt
1. Baking soda
You can remove burnt contamination with the help of baking soda. To do this, mix the yeast with a little water to create a kind of paste. Apply it to the glass ceramic hob, let it take effect and then clean it: done.
2. Glass cleaner or oven spray
A glass cleaner or oven spray is particularly useful against dirt on the glass ceramic hob. Treat the ceramic or induction hob with the home remedy according to the instructions and then wash it with warm water – this can also prevent streaking.
3. Lemon juice
The glass-ceramic hob can also be cleaned with squeezed lemon juice. Lemon acid extremely effectively removes not only burnt stains, but also limescale stains.
4. Dishwasher tablets
Another home remedy against dirt on the glass ceramic hob are dishwasher tablets. When mixed with a little water, a broken piece creates a paste that you apply to impurities, leave to sit, and simply wipe off.
5. Baking soda
If the glass ceramic hob is completely banned, there is a natural energy mixture with baking soda that will have your hob shining in no time. Burnt things no longer stand a chance here. Leave a paste made of bicarbonate and water to act for at least 1 hour – overnight for badly burned areas – and remove residues with a damp cloth.
Suggestion: Baking soda is also ideal for cleaning ovens. The procedure is identical.
Vaseline: care of the glass ceramic hob
In order for your glass ceramic hob and induction hob to look really clean and beautiful, proper care in addition to regular cleaning should not be neglected. This is where Vaseline comes in. With the help of Vaseline you can get a shiny hob and also create an active protective layer on it. A pinch of Vaseline is enough. Spread it on the glass ceramic hob with your fingers – it is better to wear a disposable glove – and then polish it carefully with a cloth. This means first of all that cooking residues cannot burn on the hob and, above all, stains are much easier to remove.
Toothpaste: Removes scratches from ceramic hobs
Dirt can be reliably removed with one or two home remedies, but ultimately what remains are scratches on the glass ceramic surface. These can be targeted with toothpaste. Gently rub the toothpaste with a dry cloth and then wipe with a damp cloth. Finally polish and repeat the process if necessary.
Conclusion
Daily use of the hob leaves its mark: overflows, grease splashes, etc. these are unpleasant consequences. The industry offers a complete range of products for cleaning and maintenance of ceramic or induction hobs. With the help of our tips and proven home remedies you can avoid the use of chemicals as much as possible and save money on the purchase of expensive cleaning and care products.
