Cleaning Melted Plastic From a Smooth Cooktop Range

October 13, 2010

Cleaning a Smooth Cooktop RangeA plastic bag was melted onto my glass stove top. I had been told to scrape it off with a razor, heat it back up, and even to try ice. I remembered that I had bought a bottle of Goo Gone, so I tried this let it sit on the plastic for about 10 to 15 minutes. Then I used my scraper (just a plastic one for Pampered Chef) to scrape off the plastic. It worked like a charm. I then cleaned the whole stove top with Soft Ccrub and a sponge, finished off with some glass cleaner and it look as good as new.

A cheap rectangular clear plastic container filled with chicken noodle vegetable soup was accidentally placed on a hot ceramic burner....catastrophe!!! Soup was all over after melting bottom of container , which was cleaned up with paper towels as best we could. Huge residue all over burner and surround.
After it cooled, used goo gone twice and let sit each time.....didn't work.
Looked it up on Google for another solution.....tried WD40, 2 times and let it sit each time...no luck
Next turned burner on high for 12 minutes and let cool. Washed residue of. This worked on center up to edge, but edges still no luck.
Next came Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner and THE CROWN CHOICE..Non-Scratch Scourer Cloth, distributed by Open Arms Holdings, Mercer Island WA. 98040. I purchased at home Fair, used the heftier of the 2 in package, and VOILA...it worked.!!!

A BBQ Teflon mat was used on the glass cooktop and it melted. It was left a grey stain on it that I can't seem to be able to remove.

What can I do to restore my cook top to its former glory? Julie

it is said that a razor blade and WD 40 will do the trick. JUst put the WD 40 on there, let it soak a bit, then bring it up with the razor.

So my daughter tried to clean off drippings from a hot burner with a scrubbie sponge and the sponge melted right onto the burner. Will any of the solutions offered here be best to try?

With the stove completely cool, I'd try using a razor blade.

THIS WORKS: APPLY SOFT SCRUB, BUT YOU MUST LET IT SIT ON THE BURNED ON PARTICLES FOR A GOOD 5 MINUTES OR MORE. THEN US A PLASTIC SCRAPER (PAMPERED CHEF SELLS THESE) AND SCRUB IT OFF.

IT MAY TAKE DOING THIS SEVERAL TIMES. praying as you do it helps too!

When left with just the residue of plastic on the cooktop: turn burner to maximum for 10 minutes (exhaust on for fumes), until residue turns from black to charcoal grey. After cooktop cools, wipe with a dry cloth. The residue will be nothing, but ash.

When a pot overbooked on my electric smooth top stove, I wiped it quickly with what I thought was a cotton dishcloth. It had some polyester in it, which I did not realize until it melted as I swiped. Now I can not get it off. I tried commercial products made for stovetop as well as baking soda, and also Barkeeper's cleanser. Any ideas?

Try a straight edge razor blade. Be gentle.

My daughter dropped a plastic hot dog bag on my smooth top stove. I have tried the Cerama Bryte, scraping with my fingernail and nail polish remover but it did not remove it. Any suggestions on how to clean the burnt plastic from my smooth top stove?

I've use a razor blade on mine. Also the tabs off of bread bags make good scrapers.

I use an old credit card (or grocery "savings" card) as a scraper to remove difficult substances without scratching the surface. This might help.

I like my razor scraper--just be careful to keep the angle close to the stove so you don't risk scratching. I also like Bon Ami (a scratchless powder) for tough messes on mine.

WD-40 takes plastic bags off toasters. May be that would work on the stovetop. Remembered a wash it thoroughly before firing it up.
