Glass surfaces get dirty super quickly. In addition, I receive lots of inquiries about the best way to wash glass. Most often, I am windows, stove tops made of glass, or shower doors. I’ve written about a few aspects of these before, but I’m still asked about this topic frequently.
In addition, I will discuss my homemade glass cleaner recipes with you! Welcoming to the fantastic realm of cleaning glass. It’s like entering Mr. Wonka’s chocolate factory, except it’s not candy but with more microfiber towels and spray bottles.

Cleaning your stove’s glass is essential to avoid scratching and chipping and keep it in “health” if you intend to. There isn’t much you need to clean your glass stove top efficiently. Just grab the non-scratch sponge, an empty cup of hot water, microfiber towels, baking soda, paper towels, and gloves made of rubber.
It’s a good thing that Maker’s Clean has microfiber cloths made explicitly for glass cleaning: the Glass & Electronics Flat-Weave Microfiber Cloths. They’re specially made to polish and clean fragile surfaces such as television screens, stovetops made of glass, and many more. Many microfiber cloths are terry weaves and can scratch the surface of mirrors or glass. Therefore, I strongly recommend using a specialized microfiber cloth for cleaning glass.
First, ensure that your stove is excellent. Then, sprinkle ample baking soda over the stove’s top. After that, soak your microfiber towels, ensuring they are damp but not drippy, and place them flatly on the stove’s top. It is best to use beautiful warm water. Be sure to protect your hands with dish gloves. The hot water can activate the baking soda, eliminating stains and grease. Allow this to sit for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, you can remove the microfibers that are wet. One cloth cleans the stove’s top using the “S” pattern. After removing as much of the stove’s surface as possible using the microfiber cloth, switch to the sponge. Use only your sponge’s scrubby part, not the abrasive side, and then work to remove any stains left.
If you encounter difficult stains that aren’t coming off, add some baking soda and moisture and allow it to rest for a few hours. Take an instrument made of plastic, such as a spatula, and scrape the blemish off. Please don’t use a metal tool for this because it may cause damage to the stove.
When all grime and dirt are gone, take an utterly dry and clean microfiber cloth and polish the stove’s glass until it shines as new!
How To Clean Glass Shower Doors
Many people have asked me to clean shower doors made of glass! It’s a good thing for us who have these doors; it’s not a problem. Get some vinegar, and put it in the spray bottle. Also, you’ll need a squeegee, microfiber cloths, and an un-scratchable sponge.
Vinegar is a great shower cleaner. And especially for glass shower doors, mixing it with water isn’t necessary. Sprinkle some vinegar over the shower doors. It is possible to do this generously. Allow this to rest for about 10 minutes to work on soap scum before opening the shower doors.
After 10 minutes after ten minutes, grab your non-scratch broom and begin scrubbing. From top to bottom and from left to right, similar to the “S” pattern until the soap scum has gone. After that, you’ll have to wash using hot water. Removable shower heads are an excellent tool; however, if you don’t have one, you can use an empty container to fill the shores.
Next, pretend trash and get that Squeegee! Make sure your doors are clean and squeaky clean to prevent streaks. Follow with a microfiber cloth to smooth. Sometimes it’s helpful to play “Workin’ at the Car Wash, Ya!” But I’m going to digress.

All you require to wash windows is an aerosol spray bottle with water, vinegar, and microfiber cloth. Mix one cup of water with a cup of vinegar into the spray bottle and shake to mix.
