Maintaining an induction cooktop requires proper cleaning techniques to ensure its efficiency and longevity. Incorrect methods can damage the glass surface and reduce performance, leading to higher energy consumption and costly repairs.

The Right Way to Clean an Induction Cooktop
Before starting, always ensure the cooktop has completely cooled down. Check the heat indicator and disconnect the power supply. Cleaning a hot surface can cause cracks or permanent damage.

For effective stain removal, a simple homemade solution works well. Mix equal parts vinegar and water, spray it on the surface, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes. Then gently wipe it off using a soft cloth or paper towel. This helps remove grease and stains without harming the surface.

Mistakes You Should Avoid

• Using rough scrubbers: Abrasive pads or steel scrubbers can scratch the glass surface, leaving permanent marks and making future cleaning more difficult.
• Applying harsh chemicals: Strong cleaners like bleach or ammonia can damage the finish and cause discoloration.
• Allowing moisture to seep inside: Excess water or cleaning liquid near the edges or control panel can lead to electrical damage. Always use a slightly damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly afterward.
