I learned something new today and wanted to share it. I like to use green cleaning products when I can, so I was looking for a way to clean my ceramic top stove. I found that instead of buying the expensive cleaner, there are 2 ways to clean it. You can use Magic Eraser which I tried and it worked well. You can also use water and baking soda. And I like that idea too. Have any of you tried either of these methods and what were your results?

Well, I will have to try both and see what happens. I do have the burn look round circles on mine when I need to clean it. Thanks for the tip.

I use vinegar but allow it to soak on the top for a bit.Then I use a shaving /razor blade and scrape off any buildup. Then rinse with water. Works great.

Yes, I do use the razor blade.
I use lemon juice and let it soak. It cleans up almost anything you can spill. I have used the magic eraser too. Just remember to use gloves when you use the eraser -- it can clean the skin off your hands too. ;)
Home remedies work just fine. I worked for a lady who owned a Jewelry Store and we went through Windex like crazy and I find my self using it at home too. Works great!!! Kay
I have tried baking powder but it did not clean as well as my usual product. I find the best way is to clean is after every time used, before there is a chance of something sticking.

baking soda is what you mean?
Like a few more below, I like to do it before it needs it so I don't get a build up. Actually I use a steam cleaner for almost everything, so no chemicals at all!

I too have a stream cleaner. I have to use the lemon juice just to clean up after my husband makes something. :)
I have one of those too. (A messing cooking husband, that is!)
My messy cooking husband manage to chip & crack the edge of ours.I am the kitchen hand who cleans up afterwards & it was in perfect order the night before.I think he dropped a steel saucepan lid & it got the edge of the stove top.
Ouch!
all these comment sounds very familar..lol soozie
I clean my glass stove top every time I use it! I like the natural bi-carb soda too, but I also use the Cerapol cream that came with the stove top. Love Chris
I have an Induction cooktop no burned no scraping or scrubbing at all as with my glass top, and warm water clean polish with a clean dry cloth. ( This is the easiest clean stove top I have ever own.) fast heat up too.
I use the cleaning polish that came with the top and then I put on a sealer which helps to prevent burns and stuff sticking to the glass top. I do use lemon to clean my microwave. (2-3 tablespoons heated in a cup for a minute). I find that this really helps to clean.

Another green idea ,this one for a dishwasher. I have been using white vinegar as the rinse aid for years.Two litres of white vinegar costs less than $2 & lasts for months.
Vinegar and baking soda vinegar has worked well for me.
For 10 years now I have used only vinegar and baking soda or hydrogen peroxide for all my cleaning.

I've been using Baking Soda and vinegar for yrs. It works well for me and doesnt cost much/Lillian
Thanks for the tip. I have the hardest time keeping my white stove top looking nice. I'll give them both a try.
